Dietary supplementation with whey protein improves systemic microvascular function in heart failure patients: a pilot study

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (6), 2021
Endothelial dysfunction is a well-known component of the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF), with proven prognostic value. Dietary supplementation with whey protein (WP) has been widely used to increase skeletal muscle mass, but it also has vascular effects, which are less understood. This study aimed...

Up-regulation of Hsp72 and keratin16 mediates wound healing in streptozotocin diabetic rats

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Impaired wound healing is a complication of diabetes and a serious problem in clinical practice. We previously found that whey protein (WP) was able to regulate wound healing normally in streptozotocin (STZ)-dia-betic models. This subsequent study was designed to assess the effect of WP on he...
