Remarkably, compelling evidence has shown that the level of the anti‐inflammatory cytokine IL10 is increased after probiotic treatments (e.g. Lactobacillus GG, VSL#3, and Akkermansia) in animal models of colitis (Dieleman et al., 2003; Lammers et al., 2003; Bian et al., 2019), consistent with our findings. This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and colitis.
