Anticancer effects of lactoferrin: underlying mechanisms and future trends in cancer therapy.

Nutrition reviews - 1 Dec 2014

Zhang Yunlei, Lima Cristovao F, Rodrigues Ligia R

Abstract excerpt

Lactoferrin has been widely studied over the last 70 years, and its role in diverse biological functions is now well known and generally accepted by the scientific community. Usually, alterations of the lactoferrin gene in cells are associated with an increased incidence of cancer. Several studies suggest that exogenous treatment with lactoferrin and its derivatives can efficiently inhibit the growth of tumors...
