Bovine Milk Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) Modification Elicits Skeletal Muscle Growth in Rats
Conclusion
Sonication is a newer approach to understanding how EVs obtained through the diet may affect the physiology of an organism. Notably, the changes observed in gastrocnemius fCSA, transcriptome, miRNA, and oxidative stress markers in rats suggest that modulating bovine milk-derived EVs may affect skeletal muscle physiology.
