Cardiovascular Disease and Functional Foods: The Effect of Milk Derived Peptides on Hypertension
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses many conditions including coronary heart disease, heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke and hypertension. In 2003, CVD accounted for 16.7 million premature deaths worldwide (World Health Organisation (WHO), 2003), 238000 of which occurred in the UK (Sproston and Primatesta, 2003). In addition to this, CVD seriously affects physical fitness and impacts upon lifestyle resulting in restrictions upon diet, employment, recreation and travel.
