Biomechanical strength measures of the tibia mid-diaphysis in OLETF rats fed a Western-style diet with SPI, MPI, or MIX. Tmax (A), Ks (B), G (C), Su (D), and U (E). Data are means ± SEMs adjusted with final body weight as a covariate; n = 19–20 rats/group. Different letters denote significance, P < 0.05. G, shear modulus of elasticity; Ks, torsional stiffness; MIX, a 50/50 mixture of MPI and SPI; MPI, milk protein isolate; OLETF, Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty; SPI, soy protein isolate; Su, ultimate tensile strength or maximal shear stress; Tmax, maximal torque at fracture; U, energy absorbed to failure.
