Anti-diabetic mechanism and potential bioactive peptides of casein hydrolysates in STZ/HFD induced diabetic rats.

These results suggested that activation of non-insulin mediated AMPK pathway might be the determinant mechanism of P-FCH on hypoglycemic effect. The novel peptide Val-Pro-Leu-Gly in P-FCH was effective in reducing blood glucose levels when orally administered to mice. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
