Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the impact of consumption of dairy yogurt with rhamnogalacturonan (RG) in Korean citrus Hallabong peel polysaccharide on Natural Killer (NK) cell activity and circulating cytokine levels.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 120 nondiabetic and nonobese subjects. Over an 8 week period, the test group consumed one pack (150ml) of dairy yogurt with 50mg probiotics and 100mg Korean citrus Hallabong peel polysaccharide (60% RG, 20% mono- and di-saccharide, 5% polyphenol) each day, whereas the placebo group consumed the same product without Korean citrus Hallabong peel polysaccharide. NK cell activities (%) were measured based on the ratios of effector cells (E) (peripheral blood mononuclear cell, PBMC) from each participant to Target cell (T) (K562 cells) as 10:1, 5:1, 2.5:1 or 1.25:1.
