Abstract:The antitumor effects of a whey peptide‐based enteral diet, whose main components are whey peptides and yogurt fermented by Lactobacillus delbureckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 and Streptococcus thermophilus 1131, were investigated in mice. Our results indicated that the tumor weight in C26 carcinoma‐transplanted mice was significantly smaller at day 16 post‐implantation in the whey peptide‐based enteral diet group (1.36 ± 0.54 g) than in the control group (1.83 ± 0.89 g) (p < 0.05). The whey peptide‐based ente… Show more
