BACKGROUND The lack of estrogen in postmenopausal women is a key risk factor for
disorders of lipid metabolism and for obesity. Except in cases where estrogen replacement …

Chickpea peptides (ChPs) were found to significantly decrease serum total cholesterol (TC),
total triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) content, and increase …

Purpose–This paper aims to determine the effects of 11S globulin isolated from Chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.) on lipid metabolism in animals subjected to a hypercholesterolemic and …

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly threatening human health. The
remarkable effects of corn peptides (CPs) as bioactive peptides on liver protection have …

Abstract Val-Phe-Val-Arg-Asn (VFVRN) has been identified and screened from lipid-
lowering chickpea peptides (ChPs) previously. This work explored its lipid-lowering …

In the mammalian's cells, a higher level of plasma cholesterol is a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. Human 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase …

Hyperlipidaemia, a common chronic disease, is the cause of cardiovascular diseases such
as myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis. Generally, drugs for lowering blood lipids have …

Background: Phytoestrogens are increasingly becoming popular as alternatives for hormone
replacement therapy in postmenopausal condition. Objective: In this study, the …

Food-derived cholesterol-lowering peptides have the practical benefit of inhibiting lipid
absorption and regulating systemic cholesterol homeostasis. This work aimed to explore the …

Sacha inchi meal (SIM) is a by-product of sacha inchi (considered as a “super-food”)
processing. In previous studies, we found that SIM protein hydrolysates exhibited pancreatic …
