Fermental foods "containing live probiotic bacterial strains play a beneficial role as the dietary treatment for some health problems and diseases. One of the effective meachisms are the anticarcinogenic factors and enhancing immunity against the tumor, as well as stimulate other factors improving the quality of life.

Aim of the work: Examining the chemoprotective effect of consuming probiotics in food matrix on colon carcinogenicity induced in mice.

Design of the study : Inoculating the probiotic strains : Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus debrueckii sub sp. At 0.04%w/v in two food preparations i.e., yoghurt [Y] and fermented kidney bean (FKB).

Inducing colon carcinogenicity in female Swiss albino mice. Studying the impact of oral administration of the [Y] and [FKB] on selected biological, biochemical parameters and histopathological examinations.

Results: Microscopic examination of colonic tumor sections indicated the presence of neoplastic mass that consists of excessive proliferation with large size and signs of malignancy. Consuming FKB was the most effective for lowering number and size of neoplastic cells with loss of their nuclei in comparison with consuming yoghurt which have also the significant effects against the degeneration and necrosis of malignancy. Numerical counts of dead tumor cells indicated that [Y] or [FKB] containing diets led to a decrease in the viability of Ehrlich ascitis cells and carcinogenesis as shown in the marked increased of number of dead tumor cells amounting to 95.95%, 95.79% and 74.46%, 95.66% after incubating colons isolated from mice fed on yoghurt and FKB for 2 and 24hr, respectively.

Consuming [Y] and [FKB] was also associated with decreasing the risks of oxidative stress in the carcinogenic mice as evidenced by marked increase in the serum levels of vitamins A, E and selenium as well as increase in the activity of erythrocytic super oxide dismutase (SOD) in association with decreased serum malondialdhyde (MDA) level. Hepatic level of reduced glulathion (GSH) was also increased.
