This study assessed the effects of a mixed formulation containing Limosilactobacillus ( L. ) fermentum 139, L. fermentum 263, and L. fermentum 296 on cardiometabolic parameters, inflammatory markers, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) fecal contents, and oxidative stress in colon, liver, heart, and kidney tissues of female rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Female Wistar rats were allocated into control diet (CTL, n  = 6), HFD ( n  = 6), and HFD receiving L. fermentum formulation (HFD-LF, n  = 6). L. fermentum formulation (1 × 10 9  CFU/mL of each strain) was administered two twice a day for 4 weeks. Administration of L . fermentum increased acetate and succinate fecal contents and reduced hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in rats fed a HFD ( p
