Psychiatric Symptoms in Employees Experiencing High Levels of Stress Before and After the Intake of Probiotics

Associations of Serum Total Antioxidant Capacity and Sleep or Psychiatric Symptoms in Employees Experiencing High Levels of Stress Before and After the Intake of Probiotics

The PSS scores is a rating tool used to gauge the course of stree. The minimum total score possible is 0 and the maximum total score possible is 40. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

The job stress scale from Ministry of Labor is a rating tool used to gauge of stress.

The ISI is a rating tool used to gauge of sleeping. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a commonly used measure of trait and state anxiety. All items are rated on a 4-point scale (e.g., from "Almost Never" to "Almost Always"). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

The Profile of Mood States (POMS) is a psychological rating scale used to assess transient, distinct mood states.

TAC is the biomarker for Oxidative stress

DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is the biomarker for anti-aging，among the neuroactive steroids, dehydroepiandrosterone (3b-hydroxyandrost-5-ene-17-one, [DHEA]) and its sulfated metabolite DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) have been shown to be potent modulators of neural function, including neurogenesis, neuronal growth and differentiation, and neuroprotection. Highlighting the potential health significance of DHEA and DHEAS in humans, serum concentrations decrease steadily with age, with lowest concentrations present at the time many diseases of aging and neurodegeneration become apparent.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands which sit on top of each kidney. When released into the bloodstream, cortisol can act on many different parts of the body and can help:
body respond to stress or danger increase your body's metabolism of glucose control your blood pressure reduce inflammation. Cortisol is also needed for the fight or flight response which is a healthy, natural response to perceived threats. The amount of cortisol produced is highly regulated by your body to ensure the balance is correct.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of inflammation that predicts incident myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death among healthy individuals with no history of cardiovascular disease, and recurrent events and death in patients with acute or stable coronary syndromes.

Salivary alpha-amylase activity (sAA) is often considered to be surrogate markers of sympathetic activation in response to stress.

Secretory IgA in saliva stands in a negative correlation to the level of the experienced stress

lactoferrin's multiple activities lie in its capacity to bind iron and to interact with the molecular and cellular components of hosts and pathogens. it can bind and sequester lipopolysaccharides, thus preventing pro-inflammatory pathway activation, sepsis and tissue damages.

Lysozyme plays a pivotal role in the prevention of bacterial infections by attacking peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell wall.

After an 8-10 hour overnight fast, Group A will receive two soft capsules of TPGS (400mg) emulsified berberine. Following a 7 day wash out period, Group A participants will then receive four capsules of the Quillaja extract emulsified berberine (200mg). Following another 7 day wash out period, Group A participants will then receive two hard shell capsules of the berberine reference powder 400mg. Each TPGS and berberine reference powder capsules contains 400 mg berberine. Each Quillaja extract capsule contains 200 mg berberine. The total amount of berberine throughout is 800 mg.
