In adults, inflammation (IL-6) was attenuated when Lf was administered alone in doses of 200 mg/d in pregnant and nonpregnant females with iron homeostasis disorders (43, 45–47), although doses of only 32 mg/d given in combination with whey protein were also effective in reducing CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 in T2D (55). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
