Abstract

The overall purpose of this dissertation was to examine the impact of dairy product consumption on outcomes of bone, inflammation, antioxidant & metabolic biomarkers both at rest (Chapter 5) and after exposure to different physiological stressors, including exercise (Chapter 3 & 4) and a high-calorie, high-fat meal (Chapter 6). To achieve this, two human intervention studies (divided into 4 papers) that used different stressors in combination with dairy product consumption were conducted. The collective findings indicate that increased dairy product consumption may confer some benefits to post-exercise bone remodeling and basal circulating inflammatory concentrations but does not have a significant effect on postprandial inflammatory, metabolic or glutathione responses. Therefore, including dairy products as part of a balanced diet could have minor beneficial effects if consumed following impact exercise and/or to potentially ameliorate resting low-grade chronic inflammation in people that may be at higher risk of developing metabolic disease.
