Key Points

Clinical outcomes improved with adjustments in infant formula, indicating the importance of protein type.
Whey protein in infant formula may influence nutritional benefits and digestion in newborn pigs.
Assessment using newborn pig models provided insights into infant formula composition and effects.
Further study on casein isolation and its role in nutrition may enhance infant dietary guidelines.

Implication

Experimental evaluation shows how whey protein affects clinical outcomes in infant formula, suggesting new insights for nutrition.

Abstract

Background: Relative to whey protein, the role of casein in infant formula remains underexplored. We investigated the effects of modified micellar casein isolates (MCIs) on clinical outcomes, intestinal functions, stomach...
