Abstract

We have reported an inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus gasseri OLL2809 (OLL2809) on the growth of mouse endometrial tissue in the abdominal cavity. The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Lactobacillus gasseri OLL2809 (OLL2809) on pre-existing endometriosis implanted on the abdominal wall in diestrus Wistar-Imamichi female rats. One week after implantation, the volume of the endometrial tissue was measured after laparotomy. OLL2809 and dienogest were administered for 4 weeks. OLL2809 significantly enhanced the decrease in the volume (p<0.01) as compared with control. Complete healing was observed in two of nine rats, but in none of the control group. Dienogest did not show significant efficacy. These findings suggest that OLL2809 is useful not only in therapy of pre-existing endometriosis but also in the prevention of the growth of endometrial tissue.
