Abstract:
Lactoferrin (LF) is a glycoprotein with high functional versatility that is found in most body fluids. The objective of this study was to gather and update information on the properties attributed to LF. According to this review, LF is a good immunomodulatory agent that acts on both innate and adaptive immune responses. It possesses antimicrobial activity against parasites, fungi, and viruses and also has regenerative properties at tissue level and anti-carcinogenic activity. All of these properties endow LF with major therapeutic potential of which little advantage has been taken to date.

Respiratory Capacities
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...
