Elevated serum cholesterol, particularly in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) fraction, is a major independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Current evidence from a variety of human and animal trials suggests a cholesterol lowering effect of specific strains of probiotic lactic acid bacteria; however the results are frequently inconclusive and supportive mechanistic data is scarce. A need therefore exists for low-cost and effective new technologies to meet the present demands and future challenges of probiotics for use in hypercholesterolemia. In this thesis, microcapsule formulations for the entrapment of genetically engineered and non-genetically engineered lactic acid bacteria with elev...
