Adrenal delta5-3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (delta5-3beta-HSD) activity and serum corticosterone level were significantly higher in rats fed with 5% casein or 4% albumin diets after 1 hr of ether anaesthetic stress as compared to [...]
Low dairy intake in early childhood predicts excess body fat gain. Suboptimal dairy intakes during preschool in this cohort were associated with greater gains in body fat throughout childhood. Calcium and body fat in peripubertal girls: cross-sectional and longitudinal observations In this group of girls, an inverse cross-sectional association between calcium intake and body fat [...]
