Research progress of whey protein in treatment of malnourished patients with colorectal cancer

乳清蛋白是哺乳动物乳蛋白的主要成分,已被证实具有提高机体免疫力、抗自由基、延缓衰老、维持肾脏功能和促进伤口愈合等作用,同时还可防治高血压病、高血脂症、糖尿病、高黏血症。近年研究表明乳清蛋白在结直肠癌营养不良患者的治疗中起重要作用,可显著改善患者的营养状态,减少术后并发症发生以及放化疗所造成的不良反应,降低死亡率,本文综述了乳清蛋白特性以及用于结直肠癌营养不良患者的研究进展。

Whey protein,the main fraction of the proteins in mammalian milk,is proven to improve body immunity,possess antifree radical and anti-aging effects,maintain kidney function and promote wound healing,etc,but also can prevent hypertension,hyperlipidemia,diabetes mellitus,and hyperviscosity. In recent years,some studies have shown that whey protein plays an important role in the treatment of malnourished patients with colorectal cancer. It can significantly improve the nutritional status,reduce postoperative complications and mortality,and decrease the adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy in the patients. In this article,we reviewed the characteristics of whey protein and the relative researches in the treatment of malnourished patients with colorectal cancer.
