Through the years, studies have found that allergic diseases are primarily described by elevated Th2 pathway activation, leading to increased serum IgE levels, allergen reactivity, blood eosinophil counts and secreted interleukins.
Methods: A total of 20 patients with allergy and 20 matched controls participants were recruited for the study.
The aim of the study was to determine the concentration of BCM7 in human milk and infant formulae (IF) before and after eznymatic hydrolysis, and to evaluate the effect of obtained hydrolysates on interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion and on proliferation of enterocytes in the in vitro model (Caco-2 cells). This study evaluates also the effect of hydrolysates on the adhesion of intestinal microbiota isolated from faeces of both healthy (H) and allergic (A) infants. In the study we investigated breast milk delivered by mothers of healthy ('healthy milk'; HM) and allergic ('allergic milk'; AM) infants.
