This study aims at determining if casein would lead to a better bone status than soy in the context of a moderate protein restriction (6% of total energy intake) in growing mice.Ten-week-old female Balb/C mice were divided in four groups of 15 animals. Two groups received 6% of their energy intake as protein, one as casein and the other as soy protein. The third group was a normal-protein control receiving 20% soy protein. The last group (positive contro...

Intrinsic quality, micro and nano structure of bone after 1 month of spaceflight and during 1 week of recovery had never been investigated. The aim was to explore these properties in appendicular and axial skeleton of mature mice.Ten C57/Bl6 male mice flew on the 30-day space Russian BION-M1 high-orbit satellite mission (Biomedical Ethics Commission of IBMP, n°319). Five were euthanized 12 h after landing, the others 8 days later. A ground control g...
