Biological Activity of Plant-Derived Peptides, Hydrolysates and Digests in the Caco-2 Intestinal Epithelial Model: A Systematic Critical Review
Plant-derived bioactive peptides are widely investigated for their effects on intestinal epithelial function using Caco-2 cells, with reported antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive and antidiabetic activities. However, this literature remains heterogeneous and has rarely addressed whether the tested material...
