| Résumé : |
This study aims to assess the preventive and therapeutic effects of pomegranate peels and
two probiotic strains of Lactobacillus plantarum (NSC10 and JUMII4), isolated from camel milk, on intestinal imbalance in Wistar rats. Uniquely, the treatment was administered prior to the induction of digestive disturbance in order to evaluate its protective potential. The effects were measured through changes in body weight, temperature, fecal bacterial counts, and several biochemical parameters. The results showed that rats receiving prebiotics, probiotics, or their combination exhibited greater physiological stability and a significant improvement in gut flora compared to untreated controls. The JUMII4 strain stood out for its efficacy. These findings highlight the synergistic potential of natural compounds from pomegranate peels and targeted probiotics in supporting digestive health and preventing microbial dysbiosis. |
