Evaluation of casein & whey protein hydrolysates as well as milk fermentates from for expression of gut hormones.

Background & Objectives: Milk proteins play a beneficial role in the regulation of food intake, postprandial glycaemia and enteroendocrine hormone secretions and thus are receiving considerable attention for the management of metabolic inflammatory disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of peptide/s obtained from milk proteins (casein and whey) as well as from the milk fermented with Lactobacillus helveticus as secretagogues for gut hormones and to purify and characterize the active peptides.

Methods: Effect of hydrolysates of casein protein (CP) and whey protein (WP) and L.
