Effects of milk extracellular vesicles from Holstein Friesian and Brown Swiss heat-stressed dairy cows on bovine mammary epithelial cells by S. Castellani, L. Basiricò, A. Maggiolino, C. Lecchi, P. De Palo, U. Bernabucci

“…In vivo results showed an increase in rectal temperature and respiration rate, a reduction in milk yield both for H and B dairy cows, with a lowest decrease observed in B cows compared with H cows. In vitro results of BME-UV1 cells treated with milk sEV H-HS and B-HS showed an alteration of the cell viability and metabolic activity, by reducing or increasing reactive oxygen species accumulation, and suppressing or increasing the expression of stress-associated genes thereby modulating the response of BME-UV1 according to the animals' thermal condition and the breed. …”
