Acidic whey protein fraction isolated induces recovery of bone loss
October 27th, 2005
The acidic whey protein fraction isolated from milk whey induces recovery of bone loss in ovariectomized female rats. According to a study from New Zealand, "Bovine milk has been shown to contain bioactive components with bone-protective properties. Earlier studies on bovine milk whey protein showed that it suppressed bone resorption in the female ovariectomized rat." "A new osteotropic component was subsequently identified in the whey basic protein fraction, but bone bioactivity may also be associated with other whey fractions. In the present study," wrote M.C. Kruger and colleagues, Massey University, "we investigated whether acidic protein...
