简要总结
The study is a mono-center, randomized, semi-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over, proof-of principle study in healthy volunteers. The study will determine the probiotic effect of LGG on intestinal tissue and intestinal cells
详细描述
The study includes 3 visits. The first visit serves to check inclusion/exclusion criteria/complete questionnaire/give information about the study and receive consent. At visit 2 and 3 the included individuals will drink a placebo blend or a drink containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG®) and they will subsequently be biopsied from the upper intestine during endoscopy while under nurse administered propofol sedation (NAPS). There will be four weeks between visit 2 and 3.
At visit 2 and 3, biopsies will be taken from duodenum and jejunum, and luminal fluids will be collected, and one blood sample will be collected.
The down stream analysis will include a combination of gene expression analysis, microbiome analysis and classification of the individuals based on analysis of blood samples.
