Publisher Summary This chapter considers both the structure and function of α-lactalbumin
and lysozyme in relation to each other, and also the potential significance of the studies in …

Growth and differentiation of the mammary gland are controlled by various hormones and
other environmental factors. The role of hormones and growth factors in mammary …

It has been shown previously that cultures of mouse mammary epithelial cells retain their
characteristic morphology and their ability to produce gamma-casein, a member of the …

Although vaccination is most effective when used to prevent disease, cancer vaccine
development has focused predominantly on providing therapy against established growing …

Lactose is the primary carbohydrate in the milk of most mammals and is unique in that it is
only synthesized by epithelial cells in the mammary glands. Lactose is also essential for the …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are known to stabilize protein conformations in aqueous medium.
Importantly, ILs can also act as refolding additives in urea-driven denaturation of proteins …

We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the protein α-lactalbumin in
aqueous solution containing the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium …

The dose-response relationship between cortisol and the accumulation of the two milk
proteins, casein and a-lactalbumin, was studied in organ culture of mammary gland from …

Mouse mammary epithelial cells cultured on collagen gels multiplied and produced casein
and a-lactalbumin in response to insulin, cortisol, and PRL. The addition of epidermal …

We studied the effects of TRH on the cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+] i) of female
rat pituitary prolactin-secreting (lactotroph) and GH-secreting (somatotroph) cells in the early …
