Vliyanie mikroflory na fiziologiyu organizma mozhno schitat' dokazannym faktom. Uchityvaya bol'shoy spektr biologicheskikh veshchestv, sinteziruemykh mikroorganizmami, nekotorye avtory schitayut mikrofloru endokrinnym organom i dazhe vveli spetsial'nyy termin mikrobnaya endokrinologiya (Mark Lyte, 1993).

Obsuzhdaetsya vopros o tom, kak korrektsiya kishechnoy mikroflory mozhet vliyat' na serdechnuyu funktsiyu. V knige podrobno opisano vliyanie novykh probioticheskikh produktov na funktsiyu kletok serdtsa i sosudov. Dany primery prakticheskogo primeneniya. Kniga rasschitana na nauchnykh rabotnikov, medikov i studentov, a takzhe vsekh tekh, komu ne bezrazlichno sobstvennoe zdorov'e.
