Bifidobacterium longum APC1472

◔ Human-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Bifidobacterium longum APC1472 has been studied in the context of obesity and metabolic health, with at least one published randomized controlled trial examining human participants alongside parallel rodent work. More recent animal research has examined feeding-behavior patterns following early-life dietary stress, and in vitro work has examined hypothalamic gene expression involved in appetite regulation. The available evidence is early-stage and does not establish efficacy for weight management in people; further human trials are needed. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
