Protein: Not just for Muscle Growth - Bioactives
We know that the primary role of food proteins is to deliver amino acids to the body to support protein metabolism. However, some proteins also contain amino acids which exhibit other biological activities. These biologically active peptides can be released during digestion by the body or by food processing.
Bioactive peptides and have been found in a number of protein sources including milk, fish, wheat, soy, corn and rice.
These bioactive proteins may exert their effects at the gut surface or at sites within the body after absorption and circulation. Some of these bioactive active proteins have anti-hypertensive, immuno-modulating, and mineral-transporting properties. Currently there is much research investigating the role of bioactive proteins in human health. |
