Bioactive peptides Blood pressure Cardiovascular risk Egg white Ovalbumin

While animal and in vitro data demonstrate vasodilatory effects of egg white-derived peptides, human studies are lacking. We investigated for the first time the effects of an egg ovalbumin-derived protein hydrolysate on blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular risk.
