75 Effect of probiotic supplementation on intestinal permeability in subjects with overweight and obesity: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

Le résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Obesity is associated with gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and increased intestinal permeability. Probiotic consumption may reverse these outcomes. The goal of this study is to evaluate the evidence linking probiotic consumption to changes in intestinal permeability in subjects with overweight or obesity. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Articles were searched in Pubmed, Web of Science, and CAB Direct through February 2022 using search terms: intestinal permeability, overweight or obesity, and probiotic supplementation. 694 articles were exported, and 289 duplicates were identified. Titles and abstract were screened in the 405 remaining references by two investigators to determine eligibility. Eligible studies had data extracted on study participant characteristics, probiotic strain used, probiotic dosage, length of intervention, and intestinal barrier outcomes. Results were summarized in tabular form based on intestinal permeability response to probiotics. Quality of the studies was assessed based on Cochrane–Risk of Bias’ tool (RoB2). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Thirteen eligible studies were identified. Probiotic genera included Akkermansia, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus, and Bacillus. Single strain probiotics were used in 3 studies, while the other 10 used multi-strain formulas. Dosage and length of probiotic supplementation ranged from 2.4 x 10^7 to 5 x 10^10 CFU/person/day and 3 to 26 weeks, respectively. The most widely used gut permeability outcomes were serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (n=10) and mixed sugar solution consumption with urine analysis (n=6). Five of the 10 studies reported decreases in serum LPS following probiotic consumption, while the other 5 showed no effect. Urinary lactulose/mannitol ratio decreased in 1 of the 4 studies, and urinary lactulose percent decreased in 2 studies. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Probiotic supplementation may be remediating an obesity-induced increase in intestinal permeability as evidenced from the effect on serum LPS and mixed sugar solution assays. However, additional studies are needed to further clarify which strain of probiotic bacteria is most effective and the optimal intervention length in subjects with obesity.
