1 2580790 Insulin treatment had a significant effect on lysozyme and lactoperoxidase activity, recovering 73 and 74% those of the controls, respectively, and the ratio of lactoferrin to total salivary protein reverted to normal values.
2 17216400 Furthermore, even though human serum transferrin and lactoferrin are quite similar in sequence and structure, and coordinate iron in the same manner, they differ in their affinities for iron as well as their receptor binding properties: the human transferrin receptor only binds serum transferrin, and two distinct bacterial transport systems are used to capture iron from serum transferrin and lactoferrin.
3 19584176 Lactoferrin decreased nuclear factor-kappabeta activation and IL-6, IL-8, and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 expression under LPS challenge.
4 19696758 In parallel to lipid changes, circulating lactoferrin concentrations were inversely linked to the variations in catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GSH-Rd).
5 21295959 Lactoferrin has been associated with insulin sensitivity in vivo and in vitro studies.
6 21295959 The effects of lactoferrin on adipogenesis were studied through the expression of different adipogenic and inflammatory markers, AMPK activation and Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) activity.
7 21295959 In both subcutaneous and visceral preadipocytes, lactoferrin (1 and 10 ?M) increased adipogenic gene expressions and protein levels (fatty acid synthase, PPAR?, FABP4, ADIPOQ, ACC and STAMP2) and decreased inflammatory markers (IL8, IL6 and MCP1) dose-dependently in parallel to increased insulin-induced (Ser473)AKT phosphorylation.
8 21295959 In addition to these adipogenic effects, lactoferrin decreased significantly AMPK activity (reducing (pThr172)AMPK and (pSer79)ACC) and RB1 activity (increasing the (pser807/811)RB1/RB1 ratio).
9 21295959 In conclusion, these results suggest that lactoferrin promotes adipogenesis in human adipocytes by enhancing insulin signaling and inhibiting RB1 and AMPK activities.
