Postprandial metabolic effects of milk and yoghurt in young and older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postprandial metabolism plays a key role in cardiometabolic health, and its impairment with ageing is associated with increased disease risk. While yoghurt consumption has been linked to improved fasting metabolic markers, its acute postprandial effects are less well understood, particularly in older adults. This study investigated whether yoghurt consumption influences age-related postprandial metabolic dysregulation.

Methods

In a randomised crossover design, 14 young (20-35 years) and 14 older (65-80 years) healthy men consumed 600 mL of whole milk or yoghurt following an overnight fast. Biochemical markers (glucose, insulin, triglycerides, TNF-α, IL-6, GIP and ghrelin) were measured at baseline and up to six hours postprandially. Differences in lipid metabolism
