Methods Donor mice were fed a control or fish oil diet before and during oral sensitization with whey. Acute allergic skin response, serum immunoglobulins as well as dendritic cell (DC) and T-cell subsets in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), spleen and/or small intestine were assessed. Besides serum transfer experiments, adoptive transfer experiments with splenocytes of whey-sensitized donor mice f...

Background Consumption of moderate amounts of whey and animal derived protein has been demonstrated to enhance short and long-term protein balance over a placebo matched control. However, to date no study has comprehensively compared high quality beef based protein supplementation with whey based protein sources following a resistance training protocol. The purpose of this study was to determin...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of whey protein coating on quality and shelf life of Kilka fish. Whey protein edible coating was prepared in three different concentrations, including 3, 7, 10 and 13%. Then gutted Kilkas were coated for 1h, packed in polyethylene dishes with cellophane blanket and stored at -18 °C. Total microbial count, total volatile nitrogen (TVN) a...

Increased plasma branched-chain amino acid concentrations are associated with insulin resistance, and intravenous amino acid infusion blunts insulin-mediated glucose disposal. We tested the hypothesis that protein ingestion impairs insulin-mediated glucose disposal by leucine-mediated mTOR signaling, which can inhibit AKT. We measured glucose disposal and muscle p-mTOR(Ser2448), p-AKT(Ser473), ...

Whey is considered as gold if it is properly and efficiently utilized. However, if it is drain as a waste it creates serious nuisance. The bottleneck in utilization of whey is its dilute nature which required handling of large volume. Membrane techniques have been developed for efficient utilization of whey, but due to very huge investment requirement small and medium scale producer cannot affo...

Protein-rich supplements are used widely for the prevention and management of malnutrition in older people. We have reported that healthy older, compared to younger, adults have less suppression of energy intake by whey-protein-effects on appetite-related hormones are unknown. The objective was to determine the effects of intraduodenally administered whey-protein on glucose, gut hormone, and am...

BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation is present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A whey peptide-based enteral diet reduce inflammation in patients with COPD, but its effect on COPD development has not been determined. On the other hand, it is known that short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are produced by micro-flora in the gut, attenuates bronchial asthma in mice model. METHODS...

Pure whey protein isolate (WPI)-based cast films are very brittle due to its strong formation of protein cross-linking of disulphide bonding, hydrogen bonding as well as hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. However, this strong cross-linking is the reason for its final barrier performance. To overcome film brittleness of whey protein layers, plasticisers like glycerol are used. It reduce...

Holstein bull calves (n = 96) were purchased at approximately 7 d of age and were assigned to receive 400, 450, 500, and 550 g/d of milk replacer solids during wk 1 to 4, respectively. Treatments were nonmedicated milk replacer plus dried whey, medicated milk replacer (138 mg/kg of oxytetracycline and 276 mg/kg of neomycin) plus dried whey, or nonmedicated milk replacer plus whey processed with...
