Abstract:
An intact intestinal barrier is a prerequisite for maintaining gut health. Lactoferrin is prized for its diverse biological activities. In recent years, numerous studies at home and abroad have reported that lactoferrin promotes intestinal homeostasis by repairing the intestinal mucosa, regulating immune functions, and modulating the intestinal flora. This study primarily reviews the biological characteristics of lactoferrin, its effect on the intestinal barrier, and its applications.
