Effects of ewe’s milk yogurt (whole and semi-skimmed) and cow’s milk yogurt on inflammation markers and gut microbiota of subjects with borderline-high plasma cholesterol levels: a crossover study

[Purpose]: Ewe’s milk yogurt is richer in proteins, minerals and short- and medium-chain fatty acids compared to cow’s milk yogurt. We aimed to evaluate the effects of cow’s milk yogurt (CW, 3.0% fat), semi-skimmed (ES, 2.8% fat) and whole ewe’s milk yogurts (EW, 5.8% fat) on inflammatory markers an...

Summary:[Purpose]: Ewe’s milk yogurt is richer in proteins, minerals and short- and medium-chain fatty acids compared to cow’s milk yogurt. We aimed to evaluate the effects of cow’s milk yogurt (CW, 3.0% fat), semi-skimmed (ES, 2.8% fat) and whole ewe’s milk yogurts (EW, 5.8% fat) on inflammatory markers and gut microbiota in subjects with borderline-high plasma cholesterol.
