Formulation-dependent kinetics of <i>Lacticaseibacillus paracasei</i> Zhang in mice

replication, LPZ enhanced gut microbial diversity and enriched beneficial commensal communities. Functionally, LPZ ingestion attenuated virulence factors while upregulating carbohydrate-active enzymes. Notably, LPZ significantly reduced xanthine levels, a metabolite associated with hyperuricemia, thereby providing a mechanistic basis for the observed relief from gout symptoms. This supports the mechanism of prior clinical findings and paves the way for future clinical trials and therapeutic use of LPZ and related probiotics. IMPORTANCE: , indicating its potential to lower uric acid. In light of the aforementioned findings, we herein propose the concept of "probiotikinetics." These results provide new insights into the intake of LPZ, along with important evidence for its application in healthy populations.
