Dietary dried plum increases bone mass, suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotes attainment of peak bone mass in male mice

Nutrition is an important determinant of bone health and attainment of peak bone mass. Diets containing dried plum (DP) have been shown to increase bone volume and strength. These effects may be linked to the immune system and DP-specific polyphenols. To better understand these relationships we studied DP in skeletally mature (6-month-old) and growing (1 and 2-month-old) C57Bl/6 male mice. In adult mice, DP rapidly (
