ANTI – INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES FROM MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS – A REVIEW

*Dr. Y. Shanti Prabha*

ABSTRACT

Current pharmacological treatments frequently have negative side effects, and chronic inflammation is a major factor to many non-communicable diseases. Promising anti-inflammatory drugs with the potential to be incorporated into the diet and have fewer adverse effects include food-derived bioactive peptides, especially those generated from the proteins of milk and milk products. Additionally, several of these peptides have antioxidant properties that strengthen antioxidant defense systems and neutralize reactive oxygen species. Peptides from milk and milk products proteins are being studied more and more for their potential use in preventive healthcare and adjuvant therapy as consumer demand for functional foods and nutraceuticals rises. The purpose of this review is to shed light on anti-inflammatory peptides that are obtained from milk and milk products, with an emphasis on their origins, modes of action, potential for therapeutic use, and new developments in the treatment of illness.
