Zein-Derived Peptides from Corn Promote the Proliferation of CC Myoblasts via Crosstalk of mTORC1 and mTORC2 Signaling Pathways.

Dietary protein supplementation has emerged as a promising strategy in combating sarcopenia. Furthermore, searching for alternatives of animal proteins has been a hot topic. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of zein peptides on CC myoblasts and explore their potential molecular mechanisms.
