This study investigated the characteristics of -derived whey-calcium chelate (LHWCC) and its effect on the calcium absorption and bone health of rats. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that carboxyl oxygen atoms, amino nitrogen atoms, and phosphate ions were the major binding sites with calcium in LHWCC, which has a sustained release effect in simulated in vitro digestion. LHWCC had beneficial effects on serum biochemical parameters, bone biomechanics, and the morphological indexes of the bones of calcium-deficient rats when fed at a dose of 40 mg Ca/kg BW for 7 weeks. In contrast to the inorganic calcium supplement, LHWCC significantly upregulated the gene expression of transient receptor potential cation V5 (TRPV5), TRPV6, PepT1, calcium-binding protein-D9k (Calbindin-D9k), and a calcium pump (plasma membrane Ca-ATPase, PMCA1b), leading to promotion of the calcium absorption rate, whereas Ca(PO) only upregulated the TRPV6 channel in vivo. These findings illustrate the potential of LHWCC as an organic calcium supplement.
本研究调查了乳清钙螯合物(LHWCC)的特性及其对大鼠钙吸收和骨骼健康的影响。傅里叶变换红外光谱表明,羧基氧原子、氨基氮原子和磷酸根离子是LHWCC中与钙结合的主要位点,其在体外模拟消化中具有缓释作用。当以40mg Ca/kg体重的剂量喂养缺钙大鼠7周时,LHWCC对血清生化参数、骨生物力学和骨骼形态指标具有有益作用。与无机钙补充剂相比,LHWCC显著上调瞬时受体电位阳离子通道蛋白V5(TRPV5)、TRPV6、肽转运蛋白1(PepT1)、钙结合蛋白-D9k(Calbindin-D9k)和钙泵(质膜钙ATP酶,PMCA1b)的基因表达,从而促进钙吸收率,而磷酸钙(Ca(PO))仅在体内上调TRPV6通道。这些发现说明了LHWCC作为有机钙补充剂的潜力。
