Abstract
BACKGROUND Human milk is essential for a child's best development. However, what a mother eats while breastfeeding can directly influence the composition of mother's milk. RESEARCH AIM This study aimed to assess the antioxidant-oxidant profile of human milk and establish a connection between this profile and the dietary habits of the mothers. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Hospital Infantil e Maternidade Alzir Bernardino Alves (HIMABA), located in the municipality of Vila Velha-ES, Brazil. The sample included 98 participants. All volunteers completed a structured interview and a Food Frequency Questionnaire. Approximately 5-10 ml of colostrum, transitional milk, and mature milk were manually collected. The antioxidant activity of human milk was assessed using the colorimetric method for free radical scavenging with 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid. Oxidative stress was determined by measuring lipid peroxidation through malondialdehyde concentration, evaluating advanced oxidation protein products, and assessing total protein content using the Bradford method. RESULTS The antioxidant profile of colostrum was higher than that observed in later phases of milk, whereas pro-oxidants increased in later phases. Maternal dietary patterns influenced the pro-oxidant status of human milk. Participants with a higher daily intake of milk, dairy products, vegetable oils, olive oils, and legumes exhibited lower levels of lipid peroxidation in colostrum, transition milk, and mature milk, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights the vital role of a balanced maternal diet in shaping the pro-oxidant status of human milk, with implications for infant health.

Abstract
The presence of proteases and their resulting level of activity on human milk (HM) proteins may aid in the generation of indigenous peptides as part of a pre-digestion process, of which some have potential bioactivity for the infant. The present study investigated the relative abundance of indigenous peptides and their cleavage products in relation to the abundance of observed proteases and protease inhibitors. The proteomes and peptidomes in twelve HM samples, representing six donors at lactation months 1 and 3, were profiled. In the proteome, 39 proteases and 29 protease inhibitors were identified in 2/3 of the samples. Cathepsin D was found to be present in higher abundance in the proteome compared with plasmin, while peptides originating from plasmin cleavage were more abundant than peptides from cathepsin D cleavage. As both proteases are present as a system of pro- and active- forms, their activation indexes were calculated. Plasmin was more active in lactation month 3 than month 1, which correlated with the total relative abundance of the cleavage product ascribed to plasmin. By searching the identified indigenous peptides in the milk bioactive peptide database, 283 peptides were ascribed to 10 groups of bioactivities. Antimicrobial peptides were significantly more abundant in month 1 than month 3; this group comprised 103 peptides, originating from the β-CN C-terminal region.

Abstract
Milk protein hydrolysates may have several benefits for digestion and digestion-related complications in infants, whereas intact milk proteins have been demonstrated to provide functionality beyond their nutritional value. In this study, in vitro digestion of an experimental infant formula containing both intact milk proteins and a milk protein hydrolysate was determined. Relative to an intact milk protein control formula, the experimental formula displayed a higher initial protein digestion during simulated gastric digestion as illustrated by a larger proportion of smaller peptides and higher level of available amino groups during digestion. Gastric protein coagulation was not affected by the hydrolysate addition. Further in vivo studies should demonstrate whether partial replacement of the protein source by a hydrolysate and observed differences in in vitro protein digestion result in overall altered protein digestion and absorption kinetics or affect functional gastrointestinal disorders as has been demonstrated for full hydrolysate formula.

Abstract
Introduction Human breast milk provides neonates with indispensable nutrition and function. Milk protein is one of the main constituents of breast milk. Human milk profiles can be influenced by many factors. Methods The present study aimed to investigate the difference in casein isolated from mature milk of healthy mothers of Korean and Han ethnic groups in China using data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics. Results A total of 535 proteins were identified and quantified in casein fraction samples from both groups. A total of 528 proteins were annotated to 52 Gene Ontology (GO) terms, the majority (94.13%) of which were distributed in the cell and cell parts of the cellular component. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that 106 proteins were involved in 23 pathways, the greatest (36.79%) in carbohydrate metabolism. There were 39 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs)-10 upregulated and 29 downregulated-between Korean and Han milk. The GO function of blood microparticles and KEGG pathway of Staphylococcus aureus infection for DEPs were the most significantly enriched (p < 0.05). Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed a network with 23 DEPs in 47 interactions, and the fibrinogen alpha chain ranked first as the hub protein. Discussion These data may provide useful technical guidance for the development of specific infant foods for certain populations.

Abstract
Nutrition affects the early stages of disease development, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. High-throughput proteomic methods are being used to generate data and information on the effects of nutrients, foods, and diets on health and disease processes. In this report, a novel machine reading pipeline was used to identify all articles and abstracts on proteomics, diet, food, and nutrition in humans. The resulting proteomic corpus was further analyzed to produce seven clusters of "thematic" content defined as documents that have similar word content. Examples of publications from several of these clusters were then described in a similar way to a typical descriptive review.

Abstract
Milk contains all essential macro and micro-nutrients for the development of the newborn. Its high therapeutic and antimicrobial content provides an important function for the prevention, treatment, and recovery of certain diseases throughout life. The bioactive components found in milk are mostly decorated with glycans, which provide proper formation and modulate the biological functions of glycosylated compounds. The glycome of milk consists of free glycans, glycolipids, and N- and O- glycosylated proteins. Recent studies have shown that both free glycans and glycan-containing molecules have antiviral characteristics based on different mechanisms such as signaling, microbiome modulation, natural decoy strategy, and immunomodulatory action. In this review, we discuss the recent clinical studies and potential mechanisms of free and conjugated glycans' role in the prevention, treatment, and recovery of COVID-19.

Abstract
Background The immunopathogenesis of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is based on different mechanisms related to immune recognition of protein epitopes, which are affected by industrial processing. Purpose The purpose of this WAO DRACMA paper is to: (i) give a comprehensive overview of milk protein allergens, (ii) to review their immunogenicity and allergenicity in the context of industrial processing, and (iii) to review the milk-related immune mechanisms triggering IgE-mediated immediate type hypersensitivity reactions, mixed reactions and non-IgE mediated hypersensitivities. Results The main cow’s milk allergens – α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, serum albumin, caseins, bovine serum albumins, and others – may determine allergic reactions through a range of mechanisms. All marketed milk and milk products have undergone industrial processing that involves heating, filtration, and defatting. Milk processing results in structural changes of immunomodulatory proteins, leads to a loss of lipophilic compounds in the matrix, and hence to a higher allergenicity of industrially processed milk products. Thereby, the tolerogenic capacity of raw farm milk, associated with the whey proteins α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin and their lipophilic ligands, is lost. Conclusion The spectrum of immunopathogenic mechanisms underlying cow's milk allergy (CMA) is wide. Unprocessed, fresh cow's milk, like human breast milk, contains various tolerogenic factors that are impaired by industrial processing. Further studies focusing on the immunological consequences of milk processing are warranted to understand on a molecular basis to what extent processing procedures make single milk compounds into allergens.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biological fluids are routine samples for diagnostic testing and monitoring. Blood samples are typically measured because of their moderate collection invasiveness and high information content on health and disease. Several body fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), are also studied and suited to specific pathologies. Over the last two decades proteomics has quested to identify protein biomarkers but with limited success. Recent technologies and refined pipelines have accelerated the profiling of human biological fluids. AREAS COVERED We review proteomic technologies for the identification of biomarkers. Those are based on antibodies/aptamers arrays or mass spectrometry (MS), but new ones are emerging. Advances in scalability and throughput have allowed to better design studies and cope with the limited sample size that had until now prevailed due to technological constraints. With these enablers, plasma/serum, CSF, saliva, tears, urine, and milk proteomes have been further profiled; we provide a non-exhaustive picture of some recent highlights (mainly covering literature from last five years in the Scopus database) using MS-based proteomics. EXPERT OPINION While proteomics has been in the shadow of genomics for years, proteomic tools and methodologies have reached a certain maturity. They are better suited to discover innovative and robust biofluid biomarkers.
