Antihypertensive Peptides from Milk Proteins
Dietary proteins possess a wide range of nutritional and functional properties. They are used as a source of energy and amino acids, which are needed for growth and development. Many dietary proteins, especially milk proteins, contain physiologically active peptides encrypted in the protein sequence. These peptides may be released during gastrointestinal digestion or food processing and once li...
متن کاملAntihypertensive Peptides from Food Proteins
Hypertension or elevated blood pressure (BP) is a global health concern, thought to affect up to 30 % of the adult population in developed and developing countries. It is defined by a BP measurement of 140/90 mmHg or above. Hypertension is a major risk factor concomitant with cardiovascular disease (CVD) states such as coronary heart disease, peripheral artery disease and stroke, and kidney dis...
متن کاملVenom Peptides as a Rich Source of Cav2.2 Channel Blockers
Ca(v)2.2 is a calcium channel subtype localized at nerve terminals, including nociceptive fibers, where it initiates neurotransmitter release. Ca(v)2.2 is an important contributor to synaptic transmission in ascending pain pathways, and is up-regulated in the spinal cord in chronic pain states along with the auxiliary α2δ1 subunit. It is therefore not surprising that toxins that inhibit Ca(v)2....
متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs as a source of new peptides
Deep transcriptome sequencing has revealed the existence of many transcripts that lack long or conserved open reading frames (ORFs) and which have been termed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). The vast majority of lncRNAs are lineage-specific and do not yet have a known function. In this study, we test the hypothesis that they may act as a repository for the synthesis of new peptides. We find tha...
متن کاملAntihypertensive Properties of Plant Protein Derived Peptides
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major health problem in the industrialized countries, representing the main cause of death in the world. It is estimated that 17 million people globally die of CVD every year and these diseases are responsible for more than half of all deaths in Europe [1]. Therefore, primary prevention is becoming an increasing part of public health strategies aimed at reduc...
