This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of oral administration of lactoferrin (LF) and lactoperoxidase-(LPO-)containing tablet on periodontal condition. Seventy-two individuals with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to take either bovine LF and LPO-containing tablets (test group, n = 37) or control tablets (control group, n = 35) every day for 12 weeks. Periodontal parameter...

We showed that internalization of Streptococcus uberis into bovine mammary epithelial cells occurred through receptor- (RME) and caveolae-mediated endocytosis (CME). We reported also that treatment of S. uberis with host proteins including lactoferrin (LF) enhanced its internalization into host cells. Since the underlying mechanism(s) involved in such enhancement was unknown we investigated if ...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that lactoferrin promotes the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Anorganic bovine bone (ABB) graft has been extensively used as an osteoconductive material in the bone reconstructive surgeries. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the combination of lactoferrin with Bio-Oss would imp...

The majority of bioactive substances in the human diet come from polyphenols. Here, we use spectroscopy, molecular docking, dynamics simulations, and vitro digestion to look at relationship between caffeine (CAF) bovine lactoferrin (BLF). correlation analysis CAF-BLF fluorescence quenching process revealed that reaction was spontaneous may have been static. predominant intrinsic binding forces ...

Yak milk is an essential and predominant food resource for Tibetan people subsistence purposes to combat altitude-induced challenges. Due its unique qualities, yak has recently been gaining broader attention from consumers across China as well in other parts of the world. One key characteristics protein content, which about 40 60% higher than that native bovine milk. In this work, a sensitive r...
