Whey proteins as source of dipeptidyl dipeptidase IV (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitors / G. Tulipano, V. Sibilia, A.M. Caroli, D. Cocchi. - In: PEPTIDES. - ISSN 0196-9781. - 32:4(2011 Apr), pp. 835-838. [10.1016/j.peptides.2011.01.002]
Abstract:
Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that whey proteins can reduce postprandial glucose levels and stimulate insulin release in healthy subjects and in subjects with type 2 diabetes by reducing dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) activity in the proximal bowel and hence increasing intact incretin levels. Our aim was to identify DPP-4 inhibitors among short peptides occurring in hydrolysates of β-lactoglobulin, the major whey protein found in the milk of ruminants. We proved that the bioactive peptide Ile-Pro-Ala can be regarded as a moderate DPP-4 inhibitor.
