Background: Gestational hypothyroidism (G-HypoT) is one of the most common thyroid diseases in pregnant women. Human milk, which closely links the mother with infant, is an important factor to the infant health. Here, we analyzed the colostrum whey proteome of women with or without G-HypoT.
Methods And Results: Using high-mass accuracy and high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), 1055 proteins were identified. Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) analysis identified differentially expressed proteins between G-HypoT and non-G-HypoT mothers. Of 44 proteins identified, 15 proteins were significantly increased in G-HypoT colostrum whey, while 29 were significantly decreased. Analysis revealed that enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, and that reflect the metabolic activities in breastfeeding women, including fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase 1, phosphoglycerate mutase 1 were down-regulated. Cell structural proteins, biomarkers of mammary integrity development, including Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and actin were lower in G-HypoT colostrum whey. However, immune protein fragments like Ig gamma-3 chain C region increased in G-HypoT colostrum whey.
Conclusion: These results implied that G-HypoT may changed human colostrum whey protein in composition level, decreasing levels of metabolic proteins and cell-structure proteins, while increasing levels of immune-related proteins, which may compromise or reflect mothers' and infants' health.

Colostrum is essential for the survival and development of newborn mammals. This primary source of nourishment during the first days of infant life is rich in functional components conductive to the enhancement of neonate immunity and growth. Compared with mature milk, a higher protein and peptide content is observed in colostrum, whilst it is low in fat and carbohydrates.

Objectives: Natural killer (NK) cells are important immune system effector cells providing innate defenses against intracellular infections, including viral infections, immune surveillance, and cancer immunoediting. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether modified ultra-filtrated colostrum (UC) and hydrolyzed whey (W) products or their combinations with other natural products with reported immunomodulatory properties will stimulate NK cell cytotoxic activity by activation of granzyme B and IFN-γ production.
Methods: The ability of study products to stimulate the cytotoxic activity of human-purified CD56 NK cells and the production of granzyme B and IFN-γ by activated NK cells was evaluated in the cytotoxic assay.

Cow colostrum is the first milk produced after birth and is a rich natural source of nutrients, immunoglobulins, peptides, and growth factors. The bioconversion of milk and whey changes the immobilization and biochemical characterization. However, the cellular mechanism and the anti-melanin synthesis effects of hydrolyzed cow colostrum extract (BCFM) in alpha-MSH-induced B16F1 cells have not been examined.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the N-glycosylation of whey proteins in yak colostrum (YC) and mature milk (YM), as this process is crucial for various biological functions, including immune defense.
- Researchers used a 4D label-free technique to identify 162 glycoproteins, 222 glycosylated peptides, and 234 glycosylation sites, discovering 59 glycoproteins that were differentially expressed between YC and YM.
- The analysis revealed that these differentially expressed N-glycoproteins were mostly involved in processes related to cell adhesion, extracellular regions, and immune responses, enhancing our understanding of the glycosylation patterns in yak whey proteins.

This study aimed to reveal the change patterns of the phosphorylation modification status of yak whey phosphoproteins during lactation and their physiological effects. Herein, we comprehensively characterized whey phosphoproteome in yak colostrum and mature milk using an ultra-high throughput phosphoproteomics approach incorporating trapped ion mobility technology. A total of 344 phosphorylation sites from 206 phosphoproteins were identified, with individual site modification predominating.
