Lactoferrin (Lf) can bind to lactoferrin receptor (LfR), leading to iron transport through the plasma membrane. Besides iron transportation, Lf also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In the brain, Lf is only synthesized by activated microglia. LfR is present in blood vessels and nigral dopaminergic neurons. Both nigral iron accumulation and microglia activation is believed to be...

Let R be a 2-torsion free prime ring with center Z, right Utumi quotient ring U , generalized derivation F associated with a nonzero derivation d of R and L a Lie ideal of R. If F (uv)n = F (u)mF (v)l or F (uv)n = F (v)lF (u)m for all u, v ∈ L, where m,n, l are fixed positive integers, then L ⊆ Z. We also examine the case where R is 312 Ahmad N. Alkenani et al. a semiprime ring. Finally, as an ...

We examined combination therapy with both lactoferrin (Lf) and antibiotics on clinical mastitis due to Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) on drying cows. The clinical symptoms of mastitic quarters were cured 81% of combination therapeutic quarters at 7 days post injection (dpi). Moreover, most of mammary gland secretions (MGSs) in combination therapeutic quarters were normal at 7 days after partu...

Let G = (V,E) be an undirected graph, LG ∈ R ×V be the associated Laplacian matrix, and b ∈ R V be a vector. Solving the Laplacian system LGx = b has numerous applications in theoretical computer science, machine learning, and network analysis. Recently, the notion of the Laplacian operator LF : R V → 2 V for a submodular transformation F : 2 → RE+ was introduced, which can handle undirected gr...

Lethal factor (LF) is a component of the B. anthracis exotoxin and critical for pathogenesis. The roles of LF in early anthrax pathogenesis, such as colonization and dissemination from the initial site of infection, are poorly understood. In mice models of infection, LF-deficient strains either have altered dissemination patterns or do not colonize, precluding analysis of the role of LF in colo...

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), formed as the result of the extended interaction of proteins with ketoses, modulate central properties of endothelial cells and mononuclear phagocytes by interacting with a cell surface binding site comprised of a novel integral membrane protein (receptor for AGE = RAGE) and a lactoferrin-like polypeptide (LF-L), the latter having sequence identity to lac...

Abstract Lactoferrin (Lf) is an oral‐pharmaceutical protein with a variety of biological activities that have attracted the attention scientists today. In this study, Lf was nano‐encapsulated in chitosan biopolymer by ion gelation method concentration 2.5 mg/ml and 0.2 0.5 some physicochemical properties were evaluated using zeta potential, DLS, AFM, SEM. Also, its stability against digestive e...

We and others have previously reported that lactoferrin (LF), which acts as both an iron-binding protein and an inflammatory modulator, is strongly up-regulated in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have also studied the expression and localization of LF mRNA in the brain cortices of patients with AD. In this study, we investigated immunohistochemically the localization of...
