    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic, which causes severe respiratory tract infections in humans, has become a global health concern and is spreading rapidly. At present, the most important issue associated with COVID-19 is the immune system and the factors that affect it. It is well known that cow's milk is highly rich in micronutrients that increase and strengthen the immune system. Research shows that the administration of these nutrients is very effective in fighting COVID-19, and a deficiency in any of them can be a weakness in the fight against the virus. On the other hand, cow's milk is accessible to the whole population, and drinking colostrum, raw, and micro-filtered milk from cows vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 could provide individuals with short-term protection against the SARS-CoV-2 infection until vaccines become commercially available. This review aimed to discuss the effects of milk vitamins, minerals, and bioactive peptides on general health in humans to combat viral diseases, especially COVID-19, and to what extent cow's milk consumption plays a role in providing these metabolites. Cow's milk contains many bioactive compounds that include vitamins, minerals, biogenic amines, nucleotides, oligosaccharides, organic acids, and immunoglobulins. Humans can meet a significant portion of their requirements for vitamins and minerals through the consumption of cow's milk. Recent studies have shown that micronutrients such as vitamins D, E, B, C, and A as well as minerals Zn, Cu, Mg, I, and Se and bioactive peptides, each can have positive and significant effects on strengthening the immune system and general health in humans.

    Abstract Negative energy balance (NEB) in the postpartum period of dairy cows is associated with reduced fertility to insemination later in lactation. We hypothesized that elevated non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) levels that occur during NEB result in accumulation of fatty acids within the ovarian tissue and preantral follicles, causing changes in ovarian gene expression that would indicate a response to injury. We performed ovarian cortex culture and oocyte maturation in medium containing a combination of palmitic, oleic and stearic acid (NEFA). Ovarian cortex was subjected to RNA sequencing and lipid content analysis via Nile Red staining and gas chromatography; oocytes were analyzed for maturation rate and mitochondrial mass and localization following in vitro maturation (IVM). Accumulation of lipids associated with the plasma membrane was increased in granulosa cells of preantral follicles exposed to NEFA in vitro; RNA sequencing revealed changes in biological functions associated with metabolic disease, stimulation of an inflammatory response, and reduction in glucose uptake. Oocyte maturation under high NEFA compromised nuclear, but not cytoplasmic maturation. These data demonstrate that exposure to NEFA in vitro affects the ovary, preantral follicles and cumulus-oocyte complexes, and provides further insight into the potential links between metabolic imbalance and infertility.

    Abstract The present study compared the growth-inhibitory effects of four common branched chain fatty acids (BCFAs) found in beef and dairy fats including iso 15:0, anteiso 15:0, iso 17:0, and anteiso 17:0. MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were exposed for 72 h to media containing increasing doses (50 to −400 μM) of the four BCFA. Cell viability was not affected by any of the BCFA treatments at doses less than 200 μM. Culturing cells with 200 μM of iso-15:0 or iso-17:0 reduced cell viability by 27 ± 2.8 and 43 ± 8.3% at 24 h, 35 ± 4.6 and 49 ± 9.1% at 48 h, and 44 ± 6.8 and 57 ± 8.8% at 72 h posttreatment. In contrast, culturing cells with 200 μM of anteiso-15:0 or anteiso-17:0 did not affect cell viability for any durations tested. The incorporation of iso 15:0 and iso 17:0 into cells (19.1 ± 1.3 and 21.2 ± 1.4 μmol/mg protein, respectively) was greater (P < 0.01) than that of anteiso 15:0 and anteiso 17:0 (11.8 ± 0.7 and 13.8 ± 0.8 μmol/mg protein, respectively). Iso-15:0 and iso-17:0 downregulated (P < 0.01) the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 (0.71 ± 0.6-fold and 0.64 ± 0.09-fold, respectively) and upregulated (P < 0.01) the expression of proapoptotic Bax (1.72 ± 0.14-fold and 2.15 ± 0.24-fold, respectively) compared to the control, whereas their corresponding anteiso isomers did not affect the expression of any apoptosis-related genes. Our findings suggest that the branching structure influences anticarcinogenic effects of BCFAs, with iso being more potent than anteiso.

    Abstract Trans (t) fatty acids (TFA) from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (i.e., industrial trans) have been phased out of foods in many countries due to their promotion of cardiovascular disease. This leaves ruminant-derived foods as the main source of TFA. Unlike industrial TFA where catalytic hydrogenation yields a broad distribution of isomers, ruminant TFA are enzymatically derived and can result in enrichment of specific isomers. Comparisons between industrial and ruminant TFA have often exonerated ruminant TFA due to their lack or at times positive effects on health. At extremes, however, ruminant-sourced foods can have either high levels of t10- or t11-18:1, and when considering enriched sources, t10-18:1 has properties similar to industrial TFA, whereas t11-18:1 can be converted to an isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (cis(c)9,t11-conjugated linoleic acid), both of which have potential positive health effects. Increased t10-18:1 in meat-producing ruminants has not been associated with negative effects on live animal production or meat quality. As such, reducing t10-18:1 has not been of immediate concern to ruminant meat producers, as there have been no economic consequences for its enrichment; nevertheless at high levels, it can compromise the nutritional quality of beef and lamb. In anticipation that regulations regarding TFA may focus more on t10-18:1 in beef and lamb, the present review will cover its production, analysis, biological effects, strategies for manipulation, and regulatory policy.
