Ample research has demonstrated the largely untapped potential of bioactive peptides (BAPs) for treating systematic chronic inflammation (SCI). Protein hydrolysates are the mixture of peptides resulting from the hydrolytic breakdown of a protein. Numerous hydrolysates contain BAPs and exert beneficial effects in both in vitro and in vivo models. In...
In biological systems, antioxidants are bioactive compounds that protect against oxidation of lipids, proteins, and DNA. Natural antioxidant peptides are often purified and isolated from proteins as a less toxic alternative to synthetic peptides, but the mechanisms behind their activity are not well understood. The purpose of this study is...
