Egg-derived ACE-inhibitory peptides IQW and LKP reduce blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Two angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory tripeptides, IQW and LKP, were previously characterized from egg white protein ovotransferrin. ACE is a key enzyme of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) which generates angiotensin II (Ang II) from its precursor and increases blood pressure (BP) in...
