We determined the effectiveness of soy milk with calcium for prevention of enamel erosion caused by chlorinated water. Thirty-six bovine teeth without wear or caries, sized 8 x 10 mm, were placed in resin acrylic blocks. All specimens had an initial enamel microhardness of 270-320 VHN and were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n = 12/group): control (not treated), casein phosphopeptide-amorphou...

information about forms of phosphorus (p) is important for the evaluation of p status in soil and also understanding of the soil fertility and plant nutrition. to obtain such information and to determine the relationship between the p forms from soil characteristics, amount of different organic and inorganic p forms of 20 soil composite samples of eastern azerbaijan province, iran were determin...

In recent years, attention has been focussed on the acceptor function of the serine hydroxyl in various enzymes. Acyl or phosphoryl residues appear to link to it in group transfer, and also in the initial phase of ester or peptide hydrolysis (l-4). This has led to a revival of interest in the classical phosphoproteins, vitellic acid and casein, which carry phosphate on the hydroxyl group of ser...

Casein phosphopeptides (CPPs) containing chelated calcium drastically increase the secretion of extracellular homologous and heterologous proteins in filamentous fungi. Casein phosphopeptides released by digestion of alpha - and beta-casein are rich in phosphoserine residues (SerP). They stimulate enzyme secretion in the gastrointestinal tract and enhance the immune response in mammals, and are...

objective: tooth surface undergoes continuous remineralization and demineralization. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of caseinphosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) paste and fluoride gel on the microhardness of demineralized enamel lesions.   methods: frothy eight specimens of premolar teeth were chosen and randomly divided to 4 groups of 12. after the initial mea...
