Dietary goat milk improves iron bioavailability in rats with induced ferropenic anaemia in comparison with cow milk

Effect of Calcium and Phosphorus on Nonhaeme Iron Absorption and Haematogenic Characteristics in Rats

“…Similar results were reported by [22,23]. However these results were differed from those reported by [2,24] they found that feeding rats high calcium diet for two weeks do not inhibit iron absorption.…”

Effect of calcium-fortified milk-rich diets (either goat’s or cow’s milk) on copper bioavailability in iron-deficient anemia

“…These findings are in agreement with the higher values of hemoglobin regeneration efficiency obtained with a goat's milk diet as previously reported (Alférez et al 2006). Moreover, goat's milk has greater medium chain triglyceride (MCT) content than cow's milk (Alférez et al 2006), and these fatty acids favor the transport of nutrients, including Cu, through the enterocyte basolateral membrane (Tappenden et al 1997). MCT are absorbed without re-esterification and directly enter portal circulation where they can be metabolized for energy (García-Unciti 1996).…”

“…However, recent studies have shown that when goat's milk is incorporated into the diet, it produces a greater nutritive utilization of Fe in ID animals (Alférez et al 2006) and minimizes the possible interactions of Fe with other minerals such as Ca, in comparison with animals fed with cow's milk (López Aliaga et al 2000).…”

Aceitação sensorial e caracterização de frozen yogurt de leite de cabra com adição de cultura probiótica e prebiótico

“…O leite de cabra, por sua vez, é descrito como um produto de alta digestibilidade e potencial alergênico inferior ao leite de vaca, sendo aconselhado para dieta infantil, de idosos e nos casos de intolerância ao leite de vaca (HAENLEIN, 2004;ALFÉREZ et al, 2003). Apesar disso, o leite caprino possui sabor característico proporcionado pela presença de ácidos graxos de cadeia curta (capróico, caprílico e cáprico), com baixa aceitação sensorial por boa parcela da população não habituada ao seu consumo.…”
