Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria, as the normal bacteria in the intestine, plays an important role in maintaining microbial flora balance of the intestine and regulating the metabolism of animals. In this paper,the mechanisms for cholesterol degradation in vitro and in vivo by lactic acid bacteria were summarized. Some factors affecting the efficiency of cholesterol degradation, and some studies in animals and the possible problems are presented and discussed, which will provide references for its further research and application.
