Antiproliferative effect of peptide fractions isolated from a quality protein maize, a white hybrid maize, and their derived peptides on hepatocarcinoma human HepG2 cells

Hydrolysates and peptides isolated from food proteins have shown antiproliferative effects on cancer cells. Cereals are one of the main sources of protein in the diet; among cereals, maize is the most extensively cultivated and consumed in the world. The aim was to compare the antiproliferative acti...
