Medicinal Potential of Camel Milk Lactoferrin

Abstract

Camel milk is a rich source of protein with well-recognized medicinal properties to treat various diseases. The objective of this work is to understand the role of camel milk lactoferrin in immunomodulation and in disease treatment. It has been found that camel milk lactoferrin is a very suitable nutraceutical agent by virtue of its bioactivity, immuno-compatibility, and safety. It can be used for the treatment of infectious, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases, besides cancer. It is a cost-effective biomolecule that also has high relative abundance and bioavailability.

Potential of overpowering Drugs Resistance in MC F-7/Adr cells by regulation of apoptotic pathways using sorafenib incorporating chitosan conjugated folic acid nanoparticles: An Experimental Study

“…A rise in the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane is decisive for apoptotic cell death. The mitochondrial membrane permeability is directly controlled by the Bcl-2 family which regulate the formation of pores that transport apoptotic proteins into the outer membrane of mitochondria; However, the detailed molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood 27 . The mitochondrial cytochrome C is released through the intrinsic mechanism of apoptosis, which then triggers the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3.…”

Impact of Age, Parity and Milking Frequency on Dromedary Camels' Susceptibility to Subclinical Mastitis

“…Additionally, camel milk has been shown to contain higher amounts of immunoglobulin G than milk from goats, cows, sheep, buffalo, and humans (Kowalczyk et al 2022). The LTF of camel milk was ten times higher than that of cow's milk (Mahala et al 2022). A good measure of the health of the udder is the release of cytokines, which can vary in milk in response to pathological or physiological changes (Akhtar et al 2020;Vitenberga-Verza et al 2022).…”
