A novel beer fermented by kefir enhances anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcerogenic activities found isolated in its constituents

Kefir grown in molasses was activated to ferment malt for the production of beer. As kefir and beer are known to exhibit some beneficial health properties, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcerogenic activities of a beer made with kefir were assessed using rat paw edema and ethanol-induced gastric ulcer...
