Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of soybean peptide calcium on apparent calcium absorption rate and bone mineral density of rats.Methods Totally 50 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups at comparable body weight:the low calcium control group,calcium carbonate control group and 3 groups with low,medium and high dose of soybean peptide calcium(SPC).Rats of each group were fed with designed forage.At the end of the fourth week of the feeding.calcium metabolic experiment was performed for 3 days and the apparent calcium absorption rate was calculated.Three months later,the left and right femurs of the rats were stripped to assay the bone calcium and bone density.Results Apparent calcium absorption rate of the calcium carbonate control group was 69.9 ％,which was lower than medium(82.6 ％) and high doses(77.4％) of soybean peptide calcium groups(F =31.371,P=0.000,0.001).Compared with the low calcium control group,rats with medium and high doses of SPC had obviously increased levels of weights(F =3.150,P =0.010,0.002),bone mass(F =3.195,P =0.015,0.002),calcium content (F=4.506,P =0.004,0.001)and bone mineral density of midpoint (F=6.185,P =0.006,0.000) and far end of femur (F =6.081,P=0.027,0.000).Despite of the weight index (P＞0.05),the high dose of soybean peptide calcium group also had the same results as the calcium carbonate control group (P=0.046,0.024,0.013,0.001).Conclusions Soybean peptide calcium can promote the apparent calcium absorption rate and increase the bone mineral density.
