Cholesterol Assimilation by Lactobacillus Probiotic Bacteria: An In Vitro Investigation

Figure 2

(a) Viability and (b) cholesterol assimilation of probiotic Lactobacillus in simulated intestinal fluid containing 100 μg/mL of cholesterol, following 24 h of incubation. Data is represented as means ± SEM, . Tukey’s homogeneous subsets generated from pairwise comparisons are represented as a, b, c, d, e, and f, with “a” representing the most significant subset from control.
