Study effect of probiotics and prebiotics on treatment of OVA-LPS-induced of allergic asthma inflammation and pneumonia by regulating the TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathway

This study found that probiotics, and to a lesser extent prebiotics, could reduce allergic asthma inflammation and improve airway hyperresponsiveness in a mouse model. This effect was linked to modulation of immune responses, particularly by balancing Th1/Th2 cytokines and regulating the TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathway.
