Description

Aicha Sbaihia and colleagues test, in 2026, whether adding a probiotic bacterium to a high-protein diet improves weight loss in obese rats. High-protein diets aid weight control, and Lactobacillus acidophilus may add gut and metabolic benefits.

After obesity was induced, 48 male Wistar rats spent twelve weeks in four groups combining normal or high whey protein diets with or without daily probiotic dosing. Food intake, weight change, regional fat, blood markers, and gut microbes were measured. Nutrition scientists gain a controlled test of diet-plus-probiotic synergy, separating what the protein level alone achieves from what the added bacterium contributes.
