title: Post-weaning effects of milk and milk components on the intestinal mucosa in inflammation.
abstract: Many milk-derived components have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, and some of these reduce intestinal inflammation when orally administered to animal models of colitis. However, the potential for ruminant milk or milk components to benefit people with intestinal inflammatory disorders (such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease) has not been well-researched. This review describes published research into mechanisms by which ruminant milk and its components may have beneficial effects when consumed by people who have intestinal inflammation.
