Enteric‐formulated lactoferrin was more effectively transported into blood circulation from gastrointestinal tract in adult rats

We have previously demonstrated that intestinally infused bovine lactoferrin (bLF) is transported into the blood circulation via the lymphatic pathway, not via the portal circulation. Therefore, in the present study, we further investigated whether intragastrically infused enteric‐formulated bLF (EF‐bLF) was more efficiently absorbed than bLF from the intestine in adult rats. The rats were randomly divided into three groups: 30 and 300 mg kg −1...
