This study evaluated the stability of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) and obtained peptide-calcium complex by heating and chelating the peptide with CaCl in a neutral solution. To assess the bioavailability of various calcium formulations, the calcium transport models were established in Caco-2 cells, and the transcellular transport pathways of various calcium formulations were studied by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results of circular dichroism showed that CPP was a stable polypeptide. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum and Fourier transform-infrared spectrum (FT-IR) indicated that calcium could be chelated by carboxyl oxygen and amino nitrogen atoms of CPP to form peptide calcium chelate, and the calcium bioavailability of peptide calcium chelate was significantly higher than that of CaCl , calcium l-aspartate, and casein phosphopeptides mixed with CaCl . Four calcium sources increased the expression of TRPV5 and TRPV6 genes and proteins. The study intended to provide a basis for developing a novel calcium supplement. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This paper examined the bioavailability of casein phosphopeptides calcium complex, CaCl , calcium l-aspartate, and casein phosphopeptides mixed with CaCl in Caco-2 cells, and the mechanisms were detected by western blotting. The results provide theoretical knowledge for the selection of calcium supplement raw materials and lay a foundation for the development of compound calcium preparations and drugs in the future.

Introduction In their routine practice, dentists frequently encounter dentinal hypersensitivity, which is caused by the pulpal nerves' increased excitability due to fluid movement in the dentinal tubules. It is treated in-office using dentin desensitizers, which reduce hypersensitivity by obstructing the open tubules or desensitizing the free nerve endings present within the tubules. However, no substance or treatment plan has ever been proven to be the gold standard for the efficient treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.

Raw protein materials are beneficial for human health, so they are being increasingly used in health foods. In recent years, there has been more and more research on and applications of raw protein materials, but few teams have conducted a detailed review of the application status of raw protein materials in China's health foods, the basis for their compliance and use, and the research on their health care functions. Therefore, this review evaluates the application of animal and plant proteins in China's health foods, the impact of animal and plant proteins on human health, and future research recommendations for animal and plant proteins.

This study aimed to evaluate the change in enamel color and surface micro-hardness following the use of resin-infiltration concept material (ICON) and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (CPP-ACFP) remineralizing agent. Fifty-four extracted human third molars were collected and randomly divided into three groups: group A: control with no surface treatment; group B: treated using ICON; and group C: treated using CPP-ACFP. The change in color and micro-hardness of the enamel surface were measured using spectrophotometer and Vickers hardness number, respectively.

Objectives: This study aims to comparatively assess the preventive and protective effects of the self-assembling peptide P-4 on enamel erosion and evaluate the potential for enamel surface recovery when professional products are combined with home-use dental-care products during the erosive process.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-nine bovine incisors were divided into nine groups: a control group, four groups with the application of professional-products [P-4 peptide (Curodont-Repair), stannous/Sn containing solution (8% Sn), casein-phosphopeptide-amorphous-calcium-phosphate fluoride/CPP-ACPF (MI Varnish), sodium fluoride/NaF (Profluorid)] and four groups with the combination of professional products and home-use daily dental care products [P-4 peptide (Curodont Repair + Curodont Protect), stannous ions containing agents (8% Sn+Emofluor Gel Intensive-Care), CPP-ACPF (MI Varnish + MI Paste Plus), NaF (Profluorid + ReminPro)]. Professional products were applied once before a five-day erosive cycle, involving six 2-minute citric-acid exposures per day.

Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel defect affecting molars and incisors, often leading to hypersensitivity, enamel breakdown, and increased caries risk. Non-invasive treatments, such as casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and fluoride varnish, show potential in remineralizing affected enamel and reducing sensitivity, but their efficacy is still debated. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the effectiveness of CPP-ACP and other non-invasive agents in improving remineralization and reducing hypersensitivity in MIH-affected teeth.
