Abstract:ScopeConsuming goat milk is known to benefit high‐fat diet‐fed and streptozocin (STZ)‐induced diabetic rats, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. This study is conducted to investigate the metabolic effects of a goat milk diet (a form of goat milk powder) on glucose homeostasis and pancreatic conditions in a mouse model of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by STZ.Methods and resultsT2DM mice are fed with a goat‐milk‐based diet containing 10.3% w/w goat milk powder for 10 weeks for investigating the… Show more
