background: prostate cancer after lung cancer is the second cause of cancer-associated death in men. in recent years, targeted therapy of cancer has attracted researchers attention. the targeted therapy lead to decrease in side effects of drugs. studies have indicated that targeting peptides for cancer cells represent valuable tools for diagnostic and therapeutic. recently, phage display peptid...

Rumen development is an important factor determining early solid feed intake and performance in cattle. A popular trend towards early weaning of newborn dairy calves necessitated looking for ways of accelerating the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) development. The present study aimed to determine the effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) supplementation in milk replacer and starter diet on rumen develop...

Restriction in antimicrobial use broiler chicken production is driving the exploration of alternative feed additives that will support growth through promotion gastrointestinal health and development. The objective this study was to determine effects dietary inclusion laminarin on performance, expression nutrient transporters, markers inflammation intestinal integrity small intestine compositio...

BACKGROUND Whey protein is a potential source of bioactive peptides. Based on findings from in vitro experiments indicating a novel whey derived peptide (NOP-47) increased endothelial nitric oxide synthesis, we tested its effects on vascular function in humans. METHODS A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study design was used. Healthy men (n = 10) and women (n = 10) (25 +/- 5 y, BMI =...

milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. the release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...

Background and Objective: Antimicrobial peptides have attracted significant attention in recent decades because of their properties, such as rapid bactericidal effects, having a wide spectrum of activity, and a rare development of drug resistance. The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial activity of a peptide derived from the lactoferrin isolated from camel milk against Staphy...

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and vitamin D deficiency are related to insulin resistance and impaired beta cell function, with heightened risk for future development of diabetes. We evaluated the impact of vitamin D supplementation on markers of glucose metabolism and cardio metabolic risk in Asian women with former GDM and hypovitaminosis D. In this double blind, randomized controlled tr...

OBJECTIVE Insulin secretion is often diminished in hyperglycemic patients with type 2 diabetes. We examined whether chronic basal insulin treatment with insulin glargine improves glucose-induced insulin secretion. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Fourteen patients with type 2 diabetes on metformin monotherapy received an add-on therapy with insulin glargine over 8 weeks. Intravenous glucose tolera...
