Lactobacillus, as a normal flora in the gut, plays a significant role in regulating metabolism and cholesterol content in the human body by mediating the expression of genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, metabolism, and absorption. This can help inhibit cholesterol absorption and maintain human health.
Hypercholesterolemia is the main cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide, and the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis is essential for human health. Lactobacillus is present in large quantities in the human intestine. As the normal flora in the gut, lactobacillus plays an important role in regulating metabolism in the human body. Lactobacillus can regulate the cholesterol content by regulating the expression of genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, metabolism, and absorption. This article reviews the biological effects and mechanisms of lactobacillus that mediate the expression of NPC1L1, CYP7A1, ABCG5, ABCG8, and other genes to inhibit cholesterol absorption, and discusses the mechanism of reducing cholesterol by lactobacillus in cells in vitro, to provide a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of lactobacillus resources.
