Transepithelial transport of dry-cured ham peptides with ACE inhibitory activity through a Caco-2 cell monolayer

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides have been extensively studied as an alternative to synthetic drugs for the treatment of hypertension. Recent studies have shown that dry-cured ham is an important source of naturally generated bioactive peptides, especially showing ACE inhibito...
