THE EFFECT OF SOY MILK ON MANDIBLE BONE DENSITY IN RAT
MODEL STUDY

Abstract
Objectives: By its intensity, exercise can be divided to light, moderate and high. Light and moderate
intensity exercise is categorized into aerobic exercise, while high intensity exercise is categorized as
anaerobic exercise. This activity can be a long-term continuous light to moderate intensity exercise.
Anaerobic activity is high intensity exercise, which needs energy at once and cannot be done
continuously for a long duration of time. This activity needs break intervals. Soybean milk is easy to
obtain and has significant isoflavone content, which is good for human body. Isoflavone can stimulate
osteoblast functions in bones. Isoflavone can be transformed into phytoestrogen, which stimulates the
osteoprotegrin receptors for activating the RANKL system in role of homeostasis for bone remodeling
process.
Methods: 30 Wistar male rats divided into 3 groups: control, first treatment, second treatment with 10
rats each. In the control group, rats got normal diet and no treatment. In the first and second treatment
groups, rats treated with 3-sets of anaerobic exercise in details: 1 set defined as rats swam in the water
with 75 cm height and laden with 13.5 grams loads, followed with 3 minutes break. Before the
treatments, rats were acclimated for one week and trained twice before the real treatment, i.e. once in
every two days for eight weeks. Soybean milk was given to the first treatment group and water for the
second treatment group 3 ml for each rat. In the end of research, rats were exterminated for soft tissue,
mandible and femur bones removal for further testing using densitometer. The data available in this
research received from analysis using ANOVA test. The test used for testing the significance of the
mandible and femur bone density data after they being swam and fed with soybean milk.
Result: There is a significant difference between the group treated with soybean milk and with water (p
< 0.05).
Conclusion: The treatment using 3 ml soybean milk per day in Wistar rat shows an escalation in bone
density and proved to be preventive to further bone damaging.
