Clinical applications of bioactive milk components

Bioactive milk lipids 1 2

8 Current information about the nutritional composition of milk fat is required for the consumer and therefore 9 essential for the successful development of dairy industries as well as marketing their products. The progress 10 in the knowledge concerning some milk fat components that possess biological properties and health benefits 11 beyond their nutritional significance, have a growing inter...

Microbial Interactions in the Gut: The Role of Bioactive Components in Milk and Honey

Bioactive proteins in breast milk.

Human milk contains many proteins that have been shown to be bioactive, but it is still not known whether these activities are exerted in breast-fed infants. These bioactivities include enzyme activities, enhancement of nutrient absorption, growth stimulation, modulation of the immune system and defence against pathogens. The antimicrobial activities are very diverse, ranging from stimulation o...

Chronology of Bioactive Glass Development and Clinical Applications

The key research and development steps for bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) are documented from the date of discovery in 1969 through FDA approvals of the first dental, ENT, maxillo-facial and orthopedic clinical products. Understanding the mechanisms and quantifying the rapid surface reactions to form a bone-bonding hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (HCA) layer on the bioactive glass in contact with l...

Milk Proteins as Precursors of Bioactive Peptides

Milk proteins, a source of bioactive peptides, are the subject of numerous research studies aiming to, among others, evaluate their properties as precursors of biologically active peptides. Physiologically active peptides released from their precursors may interact with selected receptors and affect the overall condition and health of humans. By relying on the BIOPEP database of proteins and bi...
