Effects of essential amino acids availability on amino acids uptake, metabolism and casein synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells.

Under current dairy cow feeding conditions, the conversion efficiency of dietary nitrogen into milk protein is less than 30%. A thorough understanding of amino acid (AA) uptake and utilization in mammary in response to AA supply is essential for accurately modeling nutritional requirements. This study utilized bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC) as a model to investigate the effects of increasing total essential amino acid (EAA) concentrations (0.

In view of the threat to local breeds resulting from intensive animal production, many studies are conducted in search of arguments confirming their importance in food production. In the case of milk production, not only is its quantity important, but its quality is as well, including its chemical composition. Particular focus has recently been placed on the casein proteins beta-casein () and kappa-casein (), due to their potential impact on human health or on the suitability of milk for cheese production.

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in infants. This study aimed to identify peptide biomarkers predictive of tolerance in a Spanish population of children with CMA. We investigated specific IgE and IgG4 binding to sequential epitopes of the five major CM allergens (α-s1-, α-s2-, β-, and κ-caseins as well as β-lactoglobulin) using a microarray-based immunoassay.

Electronic address:
In this study, the pitcher fluid proteases from Nepenthes × miranda were researched as a novel protease resource due to their cleavage specificity and ability to reduce the allergenicity of cow's milk proteins. We found that these proteases are particularly efficient at the P1 position with K, L, V, S, I, and R residues and exhibit similar preferences to amino acid residues at the P1' position. It is concluded that P1 is responsible for specificity of pitcher fluid proteases, while P1' tends to show their broadness when hydrolyzation happens.

Purpose: Previous studies have suggested that milk consumption can promote growth in children. However, limited studies have been done on the effects of various cow milk varieties, especially β-Casein A2 milk. This study aims to investigate the effect of β-Casein A2 cow milk supplementation on physical growth, inflammation, growth, and metabolism hormonal profiles in stunted children.
