TOKIO, 7 de enero de 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Los resultados de un estudio reciente del profesor Michael Gleeson, de Loughborough University, en el Reino Unido, han demostrado un claro beneficio para la salud para los atletas que bebieron la bebida láctea fermentada de venta comercial Yakult, que contiene la exclusiva cepa probiótica LcS. Los atletas eran miembros del personal y estudiantes de la universidad que participaban regularmente en entrenamiento deportivo intensivo, como ciclismo, triatlón, carrera de media distancia o natación.

Los resultados confirmaron que el consumo diario de Yakult resultaba efectivo para reducir la incidencia de resfríos comunes (es decir, infecciones del tracto respiratorio superior, ITRSs) en los atletas. En investigaciones anteriores se ha demostrado que los atletas, como grupo, son susceptibles a las infecciones debido a una depresión de su sistema inmunológico.

El estudio fue descrito en su totalidad y publicado en línea en la publicación científica con referato International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism.

[Resumen]

El estudio a doble ciego se llevó a cabo con 84 atletas de "endurance". Los sujetos fueron divididos en 2 grupos: 42 recibieron Yakult (6.5 x 10 (9) = 10 elevado a la novena potencia = células vivas de la cepa probiótica LcS en cada botella), y 42 recibieron un placebo. Después de que los sujetos hubieran consumido la bebida administrada dos veces por día durante 16 semanas, se examinó el efecto sobre la incidencia de infecciones del tracto respiratorio superior y los parámetros inmunológicos.

El resumen de los resultados es el siguiente:

1. Incidencia de ITRS (conocidas comúnmente como resfrío común)

El porcentaje de sujetos del grupo de Yakult que experimentaron una o más semanas con síntomas de ITRS fue del 66%, significativamente inferior a la del grupo de placebo (90%).

2. Efecto sobre los parámetros inmunológicos

La concentración de IgA en saliva (1), que puede verse reducida por deportes exigentes prolongados, fue mayor en el grupo de Yakult que en el grupo de placebo.

3. Análisis

Sobre la base de estos resultados, los investigadores concluyeron que el consumo diario de bebida láctea fermentada con LcS disminuye la incidencia de ITRSs en los atletas que participan en deportes exigentes prolongados. La cantidad de anticuerpos sIgA se mantuvo en una condición optima, lo que puede considerarse como uno de los factores para el efecto.

*La bebida placebo no contenía LcS. El sabor y el color del placebo y Yakult eran similares. Al comparar los efectos de la ingesta de ambas bebidas, se puede medir científicamente la eficacia de Yakult.

(1) sIgA es un anticuerpo presente en la saliva y en la mucosidad de las vías aéreas, y juega un papel crucial para prevenir las infecciones virales.

[Comentario del Prof. Michael Gleeson, de Loughborough University]

El Prof. Michael Gleeson (de Bioquímica del Ejercicio de la Escuela de Ciencias de la Salud, el deporte y el Ejercicio), quien condujo el estudio en Loughborough University, comentó: "Hay relativamente poca evidencia de la eficacia de los denominados inmunoestimulantes dietarios sobre la población atlética, pero este estudio sugiere que un producto probiótico puede ayudar a reducir el riesgo de infección. Los atletas detestan la idea de pescarse resfríos, ya que afecciones leves pueden afectarles el entrenamiento y el rendimiento, o incluso impedirles competir".

[Comentarios del Dr. Haruji Sawada, director del Yakult Central Institute for Microbiological Research (YCIMR)]

Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. Participó en este estudio como patrocinador, aportando financiación y muestras para las pruebas.

El Dr. Haruji Sawada del YCIMR comentó: "Es un valioso resultado que el consume diario de nuestro producto, Yakult, haya demostrado contribuir al mantenimiento de una buena condición del tracto respiratorio superior en deportistas sanos. Este estudio ha producido información importante que constituye evidencia adicional de los beneficios inmunológicos asociados con el consumo de Yakult".
