Article Synopsis
- The peptide arginine-proline-arginine (RPR) has potential benefits for treating lifestyle-related diseases, particularly in reducing fat accumulation in the liver.
- In experiments with HepG2 cells, RPR significantly lowered triglyceride levels when combined with oleic acid, compared to oleic acid alone.
- The study concludes that RPR's positive effects on liver fat reduction are mediated through the peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) pathway.
