Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a strain having liver function improving activity, and a use thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a health food composition for improving liver function and a pharmaceutical composition for improving liver function, which contain, as an active ingredient, one or more strains selected from the group consisting of a Lactobacillus pentosus KF8 (accession number KCCM11997P) strain, a Bacillus subtilis KF11 (accession number KCCM11981P) strain, and a Lactococcus lactis KF140 (accession number KCCM11673P) strain, a lysate thereof or a culture product thereof. The strain of the present invention shows excellent activity in inhibiting the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), inhibiting an increase in the concentration of total cholesterol or triglycerides in the liver, and inhibiting fat accumulation in the liver, thereby being effectively usable in the preparation of a food composition and a pharmaceutical composition for improving liver function.
A health food composition for improving liver function, which contains, as an active ingredient, one or more strains selected from the group consisting of a Lactobacillus pentosus KF8 (accession number KCCM11997P) strain, a Bacillus subtilis KF11 (accession number KCCM11981P) strain, and a Lactococcus lactis KF140 (accession number KCCM11673P) strain, a lysate thereof or a culture product thereof.
