Abstract:
The association between food and health is well established and recent studies have shown
that modifiable risk factors seem to be of greater significance for health than previously
anticipated. Prevention of disease may in the future be just as important as treatment of
diseases. Indeed, many consumers are highly aware of health-properties of food, and the
market for healthy food and food with special health benefits is increasing. Cloning could
provide animals with a better quality of meat and other products, such as dairy, offering the
possibility of creating strains of animals with increased disease resistance or other better
quality. The US Food and Drug Administration has just approved the use of meat and milk
from cloned cattle, pigs, and goats and from the offspring of clones of any species
traditionally used as food.
Aim of this study is to evaluate possible differences between proteomic profiles, in particular
post translational modifications (PTM), in milk coming from cloned and non cloned cattle in
order to verify safety of this food.
Our results have not been shown critical differences between proteins of milk coming from
cloned and not cloned cattle, either expression or in the post translational modifications. Lack
of differences between these type of milks, if will be confirmed on other animals, should
permit to use ‘cloned’ milk in human feeding.
