Abstract α-Lactalbumin is a whey protein that constitutes approximately 22% of the proteins
in human milk and approximately 3.5% of those in bovine milk. Within the mammary gland, α …

Fatty acids (FAs) have emerged as a potential alternative to conventional antibiotics. Since
many microbes respond differently to a variety of natural and synthetic FAs, substantial …

Oleic acid (OA), a main ingredient of Brucea javanica oil (BJO), is widely known to have
anticancer effects in many tumors. In this study, we investigated the anticancer effect of OA …

Oleic acid (OA) is a component of the olive oil. Beneficial health effects of olive oil are well-
known, such as protection against liver steatosis and against some cancer types. In the …

α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) is a small (Mr 14,200), acidic (pI 4–5), Ca2+-binding protein. α-LA is a

We have previously demonstrated that Stat3 regulates lysosomal-mediated programmed
cell death (LM-PCD) during mouse mammary gland involution in vivo. However, the …

The endogenous synthesis of lipids, which requires suitable dietary raw materials, is critical
for the formation of membrane bilayers. In eukaryotic cells, phospholipids are the …

Ligand-binding properties of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) are well documented, but the subsequent
biological functions are still unclear. Focusing on fatty acids/β-lg complexes, the structure …

Many studies have demonstrated that milk protein consumption has benefits in terms of
promoting human health. This review assesses the intervention studies which have …

Ciprofloxacin (CP) has a confirmed cytotoxic action on some cancerous cells, but in high,
non-pharmacological concentrations. Considering features of natural fatty acids, such as …
