Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum (BL21) group
Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
This group consists of mice that were given dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to induce Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and then administered a daily oral dose of 1 × 109 CFU of BL21 continuously for a total of 8 weeks as treatment.—post-BL21 intervention.
Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group
