Brief Summary:
Subjects with metabolic syndrome are known to possess chronic low-level inflammation. Furthermore, such individuals are at risk of developing atherosclerosis in coronary and other vascular beds. In particular, subjects with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes and type II diabetes mellitus were shown to possess vascular inflammation in carotid atherosclerosis as demonstrated using FDG-PET. In the current pilot proposal, the investigators wish to study the impact of 3-month probiotic supplementation on vascular and systemic inflammation in subjects with metabolic syndrome in the context of a randomized, placebo-controlled, pilot trial.
