The galactooligosaccharides (GOS), natural prebiotics of human milk could be incorporated in dairy products, such as yogurt, by enzymatic action on milk lactose. We previously demonstrated: 1st. functional characteristics of such reduced-lactose yogurt containing GOS during the experimental normal growth; 2nd. Ca absorption (CaAbs) similar to that observed by feeding the recommended rodent diet. Objective: To evaluate the beneficial effects of this reduced-lactose yogurt containing GOS in body composition and bone retention during normal growth. Male weaning Wistar rats (n=10 per group) received during 30 days AIN´93-G control diet (CD) or the yogurt containing GOS diet (ED).
