During the last two decades a variety of food protein fragments has been demonstrated to
elicit biological effects in various in vitro or in vivo test systems. A considerable part of these …

MAS-related G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) of subfamily X, designated MRGPRX,
are primate-specific orphan receptors that belong to the δ-branch of rhodopsin-like, class A …

Meat industry generates large volumes of by-products like blood, bones, meat trimmings,
skin, fatty tissues, horns, hoofs, feet, skull and viscera among others that are costly to be …

In addition to its traditional role as a circulating hormone, angiotensin is also involved in
local functions through the activity of tissue renin-angiotensin systems that occur in many …

Scattered literature data on biologically active hemoglobin‐derived peptides are collected in
the form of tables. Respective structure‐functional correlations are analyzed and the general …

Hemorphins are endogenous peptides belonging to the family of “nonclassical” or “atypical”
opioid peptides. They are generated by enzymatic hydrolysis of the β‐, κ‐, δ‐, or ϵ‐chain of …

Angiotensin IV (Val‐Tyr‐Ile‐His‐Pro‐Phe) has been reported to interact with specific high‐
affinity receptors to increase memory retrieval, enhance dopamine‐induced stereotypy …

Investigation of hemoglobin peptic hydrolysate has revealed the presence of biologically
active peptides with affinity for opioid receptors. Two peptides, VV‐hemorphin‐7 and LVV …

Two opioid peptides were isolated from a bovine hemoglobin hydrolysate, by use of gel
permeation (GP) and reverse phase (RP) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) …

Hemorphins are endogenous opioids derived by enzymatic degradation of hemoglobin, a
protein released in blood plasma during long distance running. We examined levels of β …
