Background: Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 80 kDa, as a member of the transferring family. In recent investigations the important biological properties such as anti microbial, antiviral and anticancer activity of lactoferrin were studied. In the present study, the effect of antitumor induced by lactoferin was evaluated on stomach cancer cell AGS. Materials and Methods...

Human milk is the most important way to feed and protect newborns as it has components ensure human health. Milk Banks (HMBs) form a network that offers essential services mothers can take advantage of benefits milk. Despite this, there low adherence exclusive breastfeeding in Brazil, stocks available HMBs are usually below demand. This study aimed co-develop smart conversational agent (Lhia ch...

A novel method was developed for the detection of Salmonella bacteria using gold-coated magnetic nanoparticle clusters (Au/MNCs) and lateral flow filters. Unlike a conventional lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) membrane, where antibodies are immobilized on test and control lines to observe a signal, the test line in the new method is formed simply by pressing a nitrocellulose membrane to decrease ...

BACKGROUND Breast milk transmission of HIV-1 remains a major route of pediatric infection. Defining the characteristics of viral variants to which breastfeeding infants are exposed is important for understanding the genetic bottleneck that occurs in the majority of mother-to-child transmissions. The blood-milk epithelial barrier markedly restricts the quantity of HIV-1 in breast milk, even in t...

BACKGROUND Breast milk contains several immune modulator components. The transfer of numerous cytokines via mother's milk may add to an active stimulation of the infant's immune system. There are many factors in breast milk that could either facilitate or inhibit cytokine activities. Smoking negatively influences the immune system and changes the concentrations of important cytokines. OBJECTI...

Greater intakes of low-fat dairy foods are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to examine whether acute low-fat milk ingestion would limit postprandial impairments in vascular endothelial function by limiting oxidative stress responses that decrease nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. A randomized, double-blind, cross-over study was conducted i...

PURPOSE Specific oral immunotherapy (SOIT) using interferon-γ (IFN-γ) has been successful as a food allergy treatment. Interleukin-10 (IL-10)-producing regulatory B cells (Br1s) play a role in immune tolerance to food allergens. In addition, IFN-γ shows tolerogenic effects on allergen-induced Br1 responses. METHODS Eleven patients that were allergic to cow's milk and 12 milk-tolerant subjects...

Background: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein, a member of the transferrin family.From ten known mechanisms of anti-cancer chemoperotecive compounds, Lf alone, has six of these functions and inhibits cancer. In this study, the effect of lactoferrin purified from bovine colostrum was studied as an anti-cancer agent on esophageal cancer cell line. Materials and Methods: Bovine colostrum were ...

A review of the scientific literature on the stimulation requirements for milk ejection in bovines and other species is presented. Differences in cisternal capacity, lactation number, and stage of lactation are known to influence stimulation requirements. The role of calf suckling compared to other types of tactile stimulation in the milk ejection process is discussed for Bovines, buffalo, came...

Heavy metals are considered as most important contaminations due to industrialization of countries and an influence on its existence in soil, plant milk. A study was carried out check manganese content forage milk at three sites city Jhang, Punjab, Pakistan. All samples (milk, water, fodder plants ground water) were analyzed for by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Different health indices a...
