Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of daily ingestion of Lactobacillus reuteri on the levels of secretory IgA and cytokines in whole saliva of healthy adults.

    Endpoints: The concentration of total protein and secretory IgA in saliva are determined in duplicates with the Bio-Rad protein assay and enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. Values are express as mg/100ml or %IgA/protein.

    Participants will be followed for 12 weeks after inclusion. Saliva samples will be analyzed and data presented when all 40 participants have completed the intervention period.
