β-Lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a small globular protein consisting of 162 amino acid residues that belong to lipocalins, which are potential regulators of cellular communication. [1][2][3][4] The β-LG has an antioxidative activity, but its potential does not exceed that of vitamin E and probucol. 2 Moreover, β-LG is an efficient transporter of molecules with antioxidant and anticancer properties, including phenolic compounds, vitamins and many others. 1,[5][6][7][8] The β-LG is a major component of ruminant milk of most species, except for humans, guinea pigs, rabbits and rodents. Thus, the biological role of β-LG is considered regarding its nutritional profile and/
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
