Primary outcomePrimary: Interleukin 5 Serum Cytokine Level on 0+2 Day — 4; 4 pg/ml — p=0.32
Summary
The aim of this prospective double blinded randomised study is to investigate the efficacy of symbiotic preparation which contains lactobacillus casei, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis, fructo and galactooligosaccharide on cytokines as interferon-gama acting on Th1 pathway, interleukin -5 acting on Th2, interleukin -10 acting on T regulatory pathway, and interleukin -17 acting on Th-17 pathway that were related with necrotizing enterocolitis pathogenesis in very low birth weight neonates.
