Kappa-casein, as a major protein component in mammalian milk, plays an essential role in formation and stabilization milk micelles and preventing them from aggregating and therefore, helping to keep calcium phosphate in solution and transfer of calcium and phosphors from animal milk to consumers. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to investigate genetic and phylogenetic analysis ...

The effect of the ingestion of myo-inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) and phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) on the digestibility of casein was investigated using growing broiler chickens. A total of 64 female Ross broilers were used in a precision feeding study. One group of 8 birds was fed a solution of glucose to estimate endogenous losses. Seven groups, each of 8 birds, were fed either casein, casein + 1,000 ...

Malnutrition, particularly protein undernutrition, contributes to the occurrence of osteoporotic fracture by lowering bone mass. In this study, the effects of dietary protein on bone mineral density and body weight in protein undernutrition were compared between gelatin and milk casein. When mice were fed for 10 wk with a low protein diet containing 10(%) casein or 6% casein +4% gelatin, there ...

DNA vaccination is a simple method to induce antigen (Ag)-specific immunoresponse and has many potential advantages over other vaccines. Although people who need to receive vaccines often suffer undernutrition, there has been no study on a how nutritional status affects the immunoresponse induced by DNA vaccination. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between protein deficie...

curcumin (cur) is the active curcuminoid with many physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological properties. solubility and stability of cur is the limiting factors for realizing its therapeutic potential. bovine β-casein is an abundant milk protein that is highly amphiphilic and self-assembles into stable micellar nanoparticles in aqueous solution. β-casein nanoparticle can solubilize cur mo...

1. Explants of mammary gland from mid-pregnant rabbits were cultured in medium 199 containing insulin, prolactin and cortisol, and specific anti-casein immunoglobulin G was used to measure the amount, rate of synthesis and rate of degradation of casein in the explants in the presence of hormones and after removal of hormones from previously stimulated tissue. 2. The amount of casein in particle...

Lactogenic hormone regulation of beta-casein gene expression in mammary epithelial cells provides an excellent model in which to study the mechanisms by which steroid and peptide hormone signaling control gene expression. Prolactin- and glucocorticoid-mediated induction of beta-casein gene expression involves two principal regulatory regions, a proximal promoter and a distal enhancer located in...

Casein micelles in skim milk were either untreated (untreated milk) or were cross-linked using transglutaminase (TGA-milk). Added lactoferrin (LF) bound to the casein micelles and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The adsorption level was the same in both milks and decreased the micellar zeta potential, indicating charge neutralization and the formation of complex coacervate-type interact...
