Effects of Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) on Bone Health in Experimental Models
Previous studies have showed protective effects of flaxseed intake. Nevertheless, little data are available about flaxseed effects on the bone health in experimental models. The review presents results of studies that evaluated the bone parameters of wistar rats fed flour or flaxseed oil during lactation (21 days), until adulthood (90 days), in lactating rats and as treatment of malnutrition after early weaning. These experimental studies suggest a beneficial effect of flaxseed in bone parameters.
