- Additional information
- This study aimed to assess whether a daily supplementation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) can alter the body composition as well as bone turnover and the mechanical properties of the bones in systemic immunodeficiency. This study showed introducing LGG into immunodeficient mice affected the mechanical properties of the long bones and changed total adiposity level during growth.
