Abstract

The invention relates to the use of probiotics in the manufacture of a composition for enhancing a metabolic profile in a subject. The probiotics are capable of preventing and treating diseases or disorders associated with an abnormal metabolic profile, especially a lipid profile by normalizing the profile. The probiotics are particularly effective in down-regulating levels of lysophosphatiydylcholines (LysoPCs) and ceramides.
