    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the cholesterol lowering ability of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from human breast milk under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Six LAB isolates namely Lacticaseibacillus casei 1A, Lactobacillus gasseri 5A, Enterococcus faecium 2C, Limosilactobacillus fermentum 3D, Pediococcus acidilactici 1C, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 7A, were examined for their bile resistance, bile salt hydrolase activity, cholesterol assimilation and viability in cholesterol rich; DeMan Rogosa and Sharpe broth, simulated gastric, small and upper intestinal conditions. During in vivo experiments, two putative LAB isolates were orally gavage to BALB/c mice, fed with normal basal and cholesterol rich (HCD) diets, daily for a period of 4 weeks. Blood serum analysis including total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and total fecal LAB counts of the animals were determined. The isolates in study showed bile resistance and bile salt hydrolysis activity, while significant differences (P < 0.05) were seen in their cholesterol assimilation ability. L. gasseri 5A (195.67%) and L. plantarum 7A (193.78%) displayed highest cholesterol removal percentages, respectively. Animals in HCD, fed with L. gasseri 5A and L. plantarum 7A showed decreased levels of total cholesterol and LDL, compared to the control groups. In HCD group liver weight was increased, while fecal LAB counts were decreased. No changes were observed in behavior or body weight in all experimental groups. In conclusion, L. gasseri 5A and L. plantarum 7A isolated from human breast milk demonstrates significant hypocholesterolaemic actions in vitro and in vivo and might be considered a promising candidates for preventing hypercholesterolemia in man and animals.
