Conclusions Probiotic supplementation significantly reduced serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines including , hs-CRP , TNF-a , IL-6 , IL-12 , and IL-4 , but it did not influence IL-1B , IL-8 , IFN-g , and IL-17 concentrations .
A significant increase in serum concentrations of IL-10 , as a anti-inflammatory cytokine was also documented after probiotic supplementation
Purpose No study has summarized earlier findings on the effect of probiotic supplementation on  inflammatory biomarkers .
This systematic review and meta- analysis was conducted to systematic ally review the available placebo-controlled clinical trials about the effect of probiotic supplementation  on several inflammatory biomarkers in adults .
Efficacy of probiotic supplementation on quality of life and pulmonary symptoms due to sulfur mustard exposure: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial
Abstract Objective : This study investigated the efficacy and safety of supplementation with probiotics in improving chronic pulmonary symptoms due to sulfur mustard ( SM ) exposure . Methods : In a r and omized double-blind placebo-controlled study , 65 subjects suffering from chronic pulmonary complications of SM were assigned to one probiotic capsule ( 1 × 109 CFU containing seven strains of lactic acid-producing bacteria ) every 12 h or an identical placebo for six weeks . Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( CRP ) concentrations , pulmonary function tests ( FEV1 , FEV1/FVC and MMEF 25–75 % ) and COPD assessment test ( CAT ) were assessed at baseline and at the end of trial . Results : The groups were comparable in baseline characteristics . There were significant improvements in FEV1/FVC in the probiotic but not in placebo group . CAT scores were decreased in both study groups . However , between-group comparison of changes in the assessed parameters reached statistical significance only for CAT score ( p < 0.001 ) . There was no report of adverse events during the course of trial . Conclusions : Findings of the present trial favor the efficacy of probiotic supplementation in improving the pulmonary symptoms of SM-exposed subjects
