The invention provides an application of
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis CP-9 in preparation of a product for promoting
bone growth and development or improving
bone health. Long-term research and a large number of experiments show that the
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis CP-9 can improve the
bone volume fraction, the bone trabecula thickness, the
bone density and the
bone volume of an
organism, and can also effectively improve the
growth hormone level and the
insulin-like
growth factor 1 level, so that
bone growth and development are promoted. Meanwhile, the
bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis CP-9 can effectively improve the N-terminal propeptide level,
osteocalcin level,
bone morphogenetic protein level and osteoprotectin level of I-type procollagen in a body, and remarkably reduce the amino-terminal
peptide level of the I-type collagen and the ligand level of
nuclear factor kappa B receptor activating factor, so that
osteoblast differentiation is promoted,
osteoclast differentiation is inhibited, and
osteoclast differentiation is inhibited. Furthermore,
bone formation is promoted,
bone resorption is inhibited, bone
metabolism is improved, and finally the effect of improving
bone health is achieved.
