We investigated whether bovine milk constituents influenced glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-2 secretion and intestinal growth in suckling rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (14 d old) received i.g. infusions of a milk protein fraction, a lactose solution, or the cream fraction of milk. The serum concentration of GLP-2, but not GLP-1, markedly increased in rats administered milk protein compared with th...

The usual method employed in determining the acidity of milk is to add a few drops of a solution of phenolphthalein as indicator to 100 cc. of milk and then titrate with 6 NaOH. By the use of this method it is found that 100 cc. of milk, when strictly fresh, will require the addition of 15 to 20 cc. of the alkali in order to produce a faint but permanent pink coloration. The acidity of fresh mi...

1. Procedures are described to prepare nutritionally adequate rat milk-substitutes by modifying commercially available processed cow's milk, rich in carbohydrate and low in protein and fat compared with rat's milk. 2. Premilk formulas, prepared as intermediates in the preparation of rat milk-substitutes, are rich in protein but low in their concentration of fat, carbohydrate, and minerals when ...

Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners are constituents of flame retardants, and there is growing concern regarding their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. We collected breast milk samples between late 2001 and early 2003 from 54 U.K.-resident mothers. Of these, 27 originated from southeast England (London), and the other 27 originated from northwest England (Lancaster). Analy...

Women at high risk of developing breast cancer are prescribed selective estrogen response modulators, including raloxifene, as chemoprevention. Patients often seek complementary and alternative treatment modalities, including herbal products, to supplement prescribed medications. Milk thistle preparations, including silibinin and silymarin, are top-selling herbal products that may be consumed b...

Background: The current study had been conducted to understand the impact of breed as well season and stage lactation on various milk constituents viz. freezing point, SNF, pH, lactose, protein, fat electric conductivity Sahiwal Kankrej cows maintained at LRS”Livestock Research Station”, College Veterinary Animal Science, RAJUVAS, Bikaner, Rajasthan. Methods: Milk samples from 45 each were coll...

The intact blood–milk barrier (BMB) prevents an uncontrolled exchange of soluble and cellular components between blood milk in the mammary gland. It enables sustainability optimal composition for nourishment offspring. Endothelial cells, connective tissue, basal membrane, mainly epithelial cells provide semipermeability this barrier, allowing only a selective transfer necessary production. are ...

Scattering studies of milk and products, which are highly relevant food products on the global market, often utilized reported in literature to investigate understand subtle microscopic structural differences between dairy samples. These features determine physical properties ultimately texture and, thus, also influence consumer’s experience. Small-angle neutron scattering is a prominent exampl...
