Bioactive peptides could be a potential option for managing and treating endothelial dysfunction, as well as its complications, researchers from the University of Alberta report. In their study, which was published in Food Science and Human Wellness, they provide an overview of how bioactive peptides can be used to support the endothelium and prevent the onset of disease.
Based on the data identified in the study, researchers believe that bioactive peptides could potentially be used in the treatment and management of endothelial dysfunction.
