Neuroprotective Role of Lactoferrin during Early Brain Development and Injury through Lifespan
Brain Development
Schirmbeck et al. (2022)
Early adverse fetal environments can significantly disturb central nervous system (CNS) development and subsequently alter brain maturation. Nutritional status is a major variable to be considered during development and increasing evidence links neonate and preterm infant impaired brain growth with neurological and psychiatric diseases in adulthood.
Choline, Neurological Development and Brain Function : A Systematic Review Focusing on the First 1000 Days
Brain Development
E. Derbyshire et al. (2020)
The foundations of neurodevelopment across an individual’s lifespan are established in the first 1000 days of life (2 years). During this period an adequate supply of nutrients are essential for proper neurodevelopment and lifelong brain function. Of these, evidence for choline has been building but has not been widely collated using systematic approaches.

Lactoferrin for neuroprotection in term neonatal HypoxicIichemic Encephalopathy
Brain Development
Sizonenko S., University of Geneva, Switzerland 2020
Neonatalhypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a leading cause of mortality and chronic disability. Lactoferrin (Lf) is the major whey protein in milk presenting iron-binding, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties able to reverse HI brain damage.
Therapeutic potential of the nutraceutical nicotinamide mononucleotide to treat early‐life stress‐induced emotional and metabolic alterations
Mother & Child Health & Nutrition
Sandi C., EPFL, Switzerland, 2020
Our overarching hypothesis is that the behavioral reprogramming induced by peripubertal stress is mediated by decreased signaling of the adipokine eNampt and subsequent impairment of the NAD+/SIRT1 pathway in the NAc.
