- - Oxidative stress, inflammation, and hypertension are major risk factors for non-communicable diseases, highlighting the need for dietary compounds that can help mitigate these issues and create new functional foods.
- - Lunasin, a naturally occurring peptide from soybeans, has anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive properties, but is broken down in the digestive system into smaller fragments that may also be beneficial.
- - Research shows that lunasin fragments can inhibit harmful enzymes, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cell viability in macrophages, suggesting their potential as protective agents against inflammation-related diseases.
