Objective : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a major contributing factor in diseases pathophysiology in critically ill patients. Oxidative stress usually occurs in critical illnesses, specifically during sepsis, and organ dysfunction. The anti-oxidative properties of probiotics may serve as a defense in intestine and overcome various oxidative stresses. The aim of this trial was to determine the effect of probiotics on inflammation, antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation in critically ill patients. Methodology : Forty patients admitted to the intensive care unit were enrolled in this double-blind, randomized controlled trial. They were randomized to receive placebo or probiotic for 7 days. Serum levels of Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), Malodialdehyde (MDA), C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score were measured before initiation of the study and on the 7(th) day.
