What is Duralactin®?
Duralactin® products contain MicroLactin®, a patented dried milk protein from the milk of hyperimmunized cows. MicroLactin® dried milk protein contains factors that appear to block cytokines to inhibit neutrophil participation in the inflammatory response. This reduces inflammation and helps prevent subsequent tissue damage caused by excess neutrophil infiltration. At this level, Duralactin® products help reduce chronic inflammation at the cellular level and so do not affect protective prostaglandin activity.
The anti-inflammatory activity is effective regardless of the etiology of inflammation and appears to function with little evidence of gastro-intestinal irritation. Supporting normal activity and wellness, Duralactin® products are ideal therapeutic options for the management of chronic inflammation where neutrophils are known to participate.
What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is a multi-faceted primarily cellular response to injury. After an inflammatory stimulus, neutrophils are activated and migrate to the source of the insult. Neutrophils release a number of substances, including digestive enzymes and inflammatory mediators. Some of these mediators result in arachidonic acid metabolism, which is further converted by cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) into inflammatory prostaglandins and other components. This results in inflammation and ultimately discomfort.
What Role do Cytokines and Neutrophils play in INFLAMMATION?
Inflammation is triggered by chemical mediators (histamine, serotonin, etc.) and mediators from white blood cells, especially neutrophils (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, lysosomal enzymes, etc.). Injured cells produce cytokines such as IL-1ß and TNFa that stimulate the emigration of neutrophils from the capillaries so they release their destructive enzymes at the site of inflammation. The initiating cause of inflammation does not determine the results at the cellular and tissue level. In all cases of inflammation, neutrophils are attracted to the site of injury and invade the tissue, and amplify the inflammatory cascade.
