Protective effect of lactoferrin on caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis.
PMID: Digestion. 1993 ;54(2):84-90. PMID: 7686520 Abstract Title: Protective effect of lactoferrin on caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats. Abstract: In rats we studied the effects of lactoferrin on experimental acute pancreatitis caused by a single subcutaneous injection of 100 micrograms/kg body weight of caerulein. Lactoferrin isolated from human milk was given intraperitoneally to rats immediately …

Bactericidal effect of lactoferrin on Legionella pneumophila.
PMID: Infect Immun. 1986 Feb ;51(2):373-7. PMID: 3943891 Abstract Title: Bactericidal effect of lactoferrin on Legionella pneumophila. Abstract: Lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein found in mucosal secretions and in specific granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, has been shown to be bactericidal for a variety of organisms. In this study, the effect of lactoferrin on Legionella pneumophila was …

Lactoferrin: a multifunctional glycoprotein involved in the modulation of the inflammatory process.
PMID: Clin Chem Lab Med. 1999 Mar ;37(3):281-6. PMID: 10353473 Abstract Title: Lactoferrin: a multifunctional glycoprotein involved in the modulation of the inflammatory process. Abstract: Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in exocrine secretions of mammals and released from neutrophilic granules during inflammation. This review describes the biological roles of lactoferrin in host defence. Secreted …
Lactoferrin, a key molecule in immune and inflammatory processes.
PMID: Biochem Cell Biol. 2012 Jun ;90(3):252-68. Epub 2011 Dec 2. PMID: 22136726 Abstract Title: Lactoferrin, a key molecule in immune and inflammatory processes. Abstract: Lactoferrin (Lf) belongs to the family of antimicrobial molecules that constitute the principal defense line of nonvertebrate organisms. In human immunity, their roles are considerably extended, and actually exceed mere …

Antiviral properties of lactoferrin-a natural immunity molecule.
PMID: Molecules. 2011 Aug 16 ;16(8):6992-7018. Epub 2011 Aug 16. PMID: 21847071 Abstract Title: Antiviral properties of lactoferrin–a natural immunity molecule. Abstract: Lactoferrin, a multifunctional iron binding glycoprotein, plays an important role in immune regulation and defence mechanisms against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Lactoferrin's iron withholding ability is related to inhibition of microbial growth as …

Roles of lactoferrin on skin wound healing.
PMID: Biochem Cell Biol. 2012 Jun ;90(3):497-503. Epub 2012 Feb 14. PMID: 22332789 Abstract Title: Roles of lactoferrin on skin wound healing. Abstract: Skin wound healing is a complex biological process that requires the regulation of different cell types, including immune cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. It consists of 5 stages: hemostasis, inflammation, granulation …

Lactoferrin functions: current status and perspectives.
PMID: J Clin Gastroenterol. 2004 Jul ;38(6 Suppl):S127-9. PMID: 15220678 Abstract Title: Lactoferrin functions: current status and perspectives. Abstract: Lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein synthesized by neutrophils and exocrine glands, plays an important role in human innate defense mechanisms against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. First, a bacteriostatic activity of lactoferrin, depending on iron withholding to bacteria, …
