Dose-response relationship and mechanism of action of Saccharomyces boulardii in castor oil-induced diarrhea in rats.

Abstract:

:For biotherapeutic agents, there is a lack of information on dose-response relationships and mechanism of action. The present study was designed to address these issues for Saccharomyces boulardii using the rat model of castor oil-induced diarrhea. A single dose of Saccharomyces boulardii at 12 x 10(10) CFU/kg of viable cells given 1 hr before castor oil administration significantly reduced the onset of diarrhea. Repeated ingestion of the yeast, twice daily between 1.2 and 12 x 10(10) CFU/kg for 5 days before castor oil, showed a dose-response relationship. The percentage of rats with diarrhea decreased and a stronger protection was afforded by the repeated treatment. The mechanism of action of Saccharomyces boulardii in this model was investigated with two classes of antagonists, naloxone and L-arginine. The effect of Saccharomyces boulardii was not inhibited by naloxone but was significantly reduced by L-arginine. This last result suggests a novel mechanism of action for Saccharomyces boulardii involving a possible inhibition of nitric oxide production by the yeast.
