doi: 10.3390/nu12082337
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of probiotics are not long-lasting. Graphs show ( A ) fecal concentrations of zonulin (left) and α1-antitrypsin (right); ( B ) fecal concentrations of calprotectin; ( C ) mPASDAS score at baseline, week 12 and 24 following the termination of probiotics treatment; ( D ) Correlations of the change of PASDAS from week 12 to 24 with the frequency of Tregs.
Article Snippet: Calprotectin, α1-antitrypsin and zonulin concentrations were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (Immundiagnostik AG, Bensheim, Germany, K 6927 (calprotectin); K 6750 (α1-antitrypsin); K 5600 (zonulin)).
