Milk fat globule membrane supplementation protects against β-lactoglobulin-induced food allergy in mice via upregulation of regulatory T cells and enhancement of intestinal barrier... by Han Gong, Tiange Li, Dong Liang, Jingxin Gao, Xiaohan Liu, Xueying Mao

“…Results demonstrated that MFGM alleviated food allergy symptoms, decreased serum levels of lipopolysaccharide, pro-inflammatory cytokines, immunoglobulin (Ig) E, IgG1, and Th2 cytokines including interleukin (IL)-4, while increased serum levels of Th1 cytokines including interferon-γ and regulatory T cells (Tregs) cytokines including IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β. MFGM modulated gut microbiota and enhanced intestinal barrier of BLG-allergic mice, as evidenced by decreased relative abundance of Desulfobacterota, Rikenellaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Desulfovibrionaceae, while increased relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Lactobacillaceae and Muribaculaceae, and enhanced expressions of tight junction proteins including Occludin, Claudin-1 and zonula occludens-1. …”
