TL;DR: Results suggested that both CPF1 and CPF2 exhibited positive effects on the activities of the intracellular antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GR, as well as on the total GSH levels in HepG2 cells under conditions of oxidative stress.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the antioxidant properties of cottonseed peptides and found that the peptides prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation both showed antioxidant properties, and suggested that the antioxidant peptides from cottonseed protein had the potential as functional ingredients in foods.

TL;DR: The ACE and DPP-IV inhibitory peptides identified from hen egg proteins can be used as functional food ingredients for controlling hypertension and diabetes.

TL;DR: The apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) of TNGIIR from the apical to basolateral side in Caco-2 cell monolayers was determined to be (4.92 ± 0.40) × 10−6 cm/s, indicating that TNG IIR can transport across CACs in intact form, and suggesting that the main transport route for TngIIR was paracellular pathway via TJs.

TL;DR: Molecular docking analysis revealed that a potential antiviral peptide EEAGGATAAQIEM (E-M) could interact with residues Thr190, Thr25, Thr26, Ala191, Leu50, Met165, Gln189, Glu166, His164, His41, Cys145, Gly143, and Asn119 of Mpro via 11 conventional hydrogen bonds and one alkyl interaction.
