Human milk, despite a much lower protein content, is as effective as cow milk on insulin stimulation under iso-lactose conditions. The causes for such a similar potency are unknown. This effect could be due to incretin and amino-acid responses, and/or to milk-protein interactions.In this study the investigators will address the above question(s) by testing, in young healthy volunteers, the effects of natural cow and human milk, as well as of the manipulation of the casein and whey protein content in cow milk, on insulin, C-peptide, GLP-1 and GIP secretion, as well as on circulating amino acids.
