An anti-inflammatory component derived from milk of hyperimmunised cows reduces tight junction permeability in vitroK Stelwagen
Dairy Sciences, AgResearch, Ruakura Agricultural Centre, Hamilton, New Zealand
Inflamm Res 47:384-8. 1998..Effects of hyperimmune milk factor (HIMF), an anti-inflammatory factor from milk of hyperimmunised cows, on tight junction permeability and cell growth were studied in vitro...
Transcriptome profiling of Streptococcus uberis-induced mastitis reveals fundamental differences between immune gene expression in the mammary gland and in a primary cell culture modelK M Swanson

J Dairy Sci 83:48-51. 2000..Thus, psychological stress may adversely affect milk quality by allowing serum components to leak into milk...
Reduction in heat-induced gastrointestinal hyperpermeability in rats by bovine colostrum and goat milk powdersC Prosser
AgResearch Ruakura, 2001 Hamilton, New Zealand
J Appl Physiol 96:650-4. 2004..Moreover, goat milk powder was equally as effective as bovine colostrum powder, and both may be of benefit in other situations where gastrointestinal barrier function is compromised...
