Abstract
The effects of yogurt starter culture and bifidobacteria cells were studied in female ICR mice subcutaneously implanted with Sarcoma 180. Daily oral administration of bifidobacteria cells for 21 days significantly decreased tumor weight (p<0.05) and spleen weight (p<0.05) when compared with control mice (saline administration). There was a weak correlation between tumor weight and spleen weight (r=0.48, p<0.01). Macrophage migration significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the saline group.
