Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis is a bone disease that increases fracture risk, and this study looked at how three fortified dairy products could affect bone mass in premenopausal women.
- The trial lasted 18 months, involving 210 participants who underwent regular tests to measure bone density and other markers.
- Results showed a decrease in bone mass at most sites, but a notable increase in lumbar spine T-score and Z-score, suggesting improved bone health, particularly linked to increased levels of a specific bone resorption marker (TRAP) after dairy product intake.
A dual-probe real time PCR (qPCR) DNA-based analysis was devised for the identification of mandarin in orange juice. A single nucleotide polymorphism at the trnL-trnF intergenic region of the chloroplast chromosome was confirmed in nine orange (Citrus sinensis) and thirteen commercial varieties of mandarin, including Citrus reticulata and Citrus unshiu species and a mandarin × tangelo hybrid. Two short minor-groove binding fluorescent probes targeting the polymorphic sequence were used in the dual-probe qPCR, which allowed the detection of both species in single-tube reactions.
