Comparison of the effects of cow’s milk, fortified soy milk, and calcium supplement on plasma adipocytokines in overweight or obese women

Abstract

Background: Obesity is an escalating public health problem. Adipose tissue synthesiz.es and secretes a variety of biological molecules, termed adipcytokines, that may contribute to obesity-linked metabolic abnormalities including cardiovascular diseases. Objectives: We compared the effects of cowʹs milk, calcium-fortified soy milk, and a calcium supplement on adipo cytokines in premenopausal overweight and obese women.
