  1. MFGM Milk fat globule membrane, BMM Body muscle mass
  2. Body weight, body fat ratio, whole body and leg (average of left and right) muscle mass were measured using a bioimpedance body fat analyzer (BC-621, Tanita, Co., Tokyo, Japan). Thigh circumference (average of left and right) was measured 15 cm proximal to the superior pole of the patella
  3. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 14). There were no significant differences between the groups and the changes within each group from baseline
