Mast cell activation and response to tolterodine in the rat urinary bladder in a chronic model of intravesical protamine sulfate and bacterial endotoxin-induced cystitis
Other common supplement additives, like thickeners and prebiotic fibers, can also lead to uncomfortable stomach issues, including irritation and bloating
It is not yet well-understood how these bacteria can exert these benefits, but documented mechanisms of action include antimicrobial activity against major gastrointestinal 171 and urogenital pathogens 172 , barrier-promoting effects at the gut epithelium 173 and other mucosa 174 , immunomodulatory effects by stimulating host antimicrobial compounds such as - defensins 175 and modulating the secretion of cytokines such as IL-10, IL-6, IL-1b, IL-2, TNF-, and impacting different cell types such as intestinal epithelial cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and regulatory T cells 176,177,178
Why it attracts attention: Animal data showing accelerated tendon healing Angiogenesis modulation Anti-inflammatory signalling The issue: There are no high quality human RCTs demonstrating clear efficacy in musculoskeletal injury

How this interaction took place even between positively charged macromolecules is a point that seems to be related to the spatial and structural shape of the polymers that were also reported in previous studies (Wu et al., 2019)
