Human lactoferrin (hLf), an 80-kDa multifunctional iron-binding cationic glycoprotein, is constitutively secreted by exocrine glands and by neutrophils during inflammation. hLf is recognized as a key element in the host immune defense system. The in vitro and in vivo experiments are carried out with bovine Lf (bLf), which shares high sequence homology and identical functions with hLf, including...

background and aims. lysozyme and lactoferrin are salivary proteins which play an important role in innate defense mechanisms against bacteria. this study investigated the association of salivary lysozyme and lactoferrin concentrations with early childhood caries (ecc). materials and methods. this study was carried out on 42 healthy children (age range, 36 to 71 months), of whom 21 were caries ...

We investigated the antidepressant-like effect of lactoferrin (Lf) in a repeated forced-swim test (FST) stress mouse model. FST was performed on days 1, 2, 7 and 14. Bovine Lf (bLf) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) was supplemented at 1% to the commercial diet after the first FST throughout the experimental period. The FST-control and FST+BSA group showed a marked increase in immobility time on da...
