Antiinflammatory activities of lactoferrin

Conneely, Orla M.·2001·Journal of the American College of Nutrition

Abstract

Lactoferrin is a non-heme iron binding glycoprotein produced during lactation and by epithelial cells at mucosal surfaces. The protein is a prominent component of the first line of mammalian host defense and its expression is upregulated in response to inflammatory stimuli. In this paper, the antibacterial and immune modulatory properties of lactoferrin that contribute to host defense are reviewed. In addition, the results of recent preclinical and clinical studies demonstrating that lactoferrin acts as an inhibitor of dermal inflammatory cytokine production are summarized. The results indicate that lactoferrin may act as a potent anti-inflammatory protein at local sites of inflammation including the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal are the main aldehydes generated during lipid peroxidation of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, whereas 4-hydroxy-2-hexanal is predominant from n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

    “Malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal are the main aldehydes generated during lipid peroxidation of n-6 PUFA (468) , whereas 4-hydroxy-2-hexanal is the predominant compound derived from the oxidation of n-3 PUFA (469) .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
