Novel Bioactive Peptides from <i>Meretrix meretrix</i> Protect <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> against Free Radical-Induced Oxidative Stress through the Stress Response Factor DAF-16/FOXO

Novel Bioactive Peptides from <i>Meretrix meretrix</i> Protect <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> against Free Radical-Induced Oxidative Stress through the Stress Response Factor DAF-16/FOXO

The hard clam <i>Meretrix meretrix</i>, which has been traditionally used as medicine and seafood, was used in this study to isolate antioxidant peptides. First, a peptide-rich extract was tested for its protective effect against paraquat-induced oxidative stress using the nematode model...
