From the paper: "Our findings suggest that microbial metabolites derived from dietary tryptophan can reverse obesity-associated reductions in hormone-secreting gut cells," said Alip Borthakur, Ph.D.

Acidophilus restores good bacteria when antibiotics wipe all good. When good bacteria is lost, the body goes into digestive melt down. Take all the kinds of acidophilus..it takes awhile .. few weeks..to get the good bacteria restored.
