Positive effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on animal performance
Dear colleagues, It is well known how omega-3 fatty acids, especially the long-chain EPA and DHA, can reduce inflammation in the body by competing with omega-6 fatty acids for cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. EPA and DHA, by producing fewer pro-inflammatory cytokines than those produced by omega-6 fatty acids, reduce inflammation [...]
Why do protein hydrolysates improve digestibility beyond their own nutritional contribution?
Dear colleagues, Today we will explain that once the protein is digested, it is absorbed by the enterocytes in the form of free amino acids and dipeptides and tripeptides by specific transporters that exist in the microvilli of the enterocytes. Although some peptides of more than 3 amino acids can [...]
Antioxidant peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis
Dear colleagues, Although vitamins are the nutrients best known for their antioxidant capacity, almost all nutrient groups have molecules with antioxidant capacity. In fact, we can state that the group of nutrients with the most potent antioxidant molecules belongs to the protein group. For example, among the antioxidant proteins we [...]
