  • Reduced Fecal Bacterial Enzyme Activity

  • Low evidence
  • Highly Cited

  Reductions of 2- to 4-fold in the activities of the three fecal enzymes were observed only during the period of lactobacilli feeding. These changes were noted in all subjects and were highly significant (p less than 0.02 to 0.001).
