NCT01501344

Brief Summary

This study will determine if daily oral intake of 200g of a marketed yogurt with fortified calcium content and a milk basic protein (MBP)80 mg benefits on bone cells activity in postmenopausal women. The efficacy of the product is measured by examining the variation of biochemical markers of bone turnover. MBP 80 is a particular protein contained in milk; it has been added to the yogurt provided for this study. The effects of MBP 80 on the quality of bone tissue have not yet been proven.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Median percent change in levels of serum β CTX (sCTX), a bone resorption marker.

    The primary efficacy variable, the median percent change from baseline (Day 0) in levels of serum β-CTX (sCTX) at week 12, will be compared to the corresponding median percent change from day minus 28 (Day - 28) in levels of serum β-CTX (sCTX) at Day 0 for each participant.

    12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Median percent change in levels of P1NP, a bone formation marker.

    12 weeks

  • Median percent change in levels of serum β-CTX (sCTX), a bone resorption marker

    4 weeks

  • Median percent change in levels of urinary NTX(uNTX), a bone resorption marker.

    weeks 4 and 12

  • Median percent change in levels of serum osteocalcin (sOC), a bone formation marker.

    12 weeks

Interventions

Intake of one container of vanilla or strawberry yogurt in the morning on a daily basis during 12 weeks.
