Abstract excerpt
Lactoferrin (LF) is a key modulator of inflammatory response. Since bone and immune systems are genetically and functionally linked, we were interested to know if LF could influence bone remodeling. Bovine LF (bLF) inhibited in vitro bone resorbing activity (IC50, 200 microg/ml) in a rabbit mixed bone cell culture, consisting of authentic osteoclasts in an environment of osteoblast and stromal cells. Using human...
