Lactiplantibacillus plantarum — decreases C-reactive protein concentration
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“Normalized percentage data revealed that GKK1 reduced the relative CRP inflammatory burden at 24 h compared to the placebo (118.72 ± 39.32% vs. 209.45 ± 72.90%, p < 0.001, 95% CI [−124.76 to −56.70], Cohen’s d = 1.549) and maintained significantly lower absolute CRP levels through 48 h (p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 1.873) (Table 6 and Figure 4C).”

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum — decreases cortisol concentration
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“The GKK1 group showed lower cortisol levels than the placebo group at 48 h post-EIMD (p = 0.023, 95% CI [−2.73 to −0.29], Cohen’s d = 0.680) (Table 6 and Figure 5B).”
