    This document discusses the potential role of bioactive peptides in cardiovascular health management. It defines bioactive peptides as short amino acid sequences found encrypted in proteins that have physiological benefits beyond nutrition. Dairy products are a major source of bioactive peptides, which are released through fermentation or hydrolysis. Milk-derived peptides have demonstrated antihypertensive effects by inhibiting the angiotensin converting enzyme and lowering blood pressure. Further research on bioactive peptides could help develop treatments for cardiovascular diseases.

    POTENTIAL OF BIOACTIVE PEPTIDE TO MITIGATE THE

    PATHOLOGIES OF METABOLIC SYNDROME

    AN INDEPENDENT SEMINAR
    POTENTIAL ROLE OF BIOACTIVE PEPTIDE IN
    CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH MANAGEMENT

    A SEMINAR PRESENTED
    BY

    AWOJULU, EMMANUEL OLUMIDE


    BCH/13/4770

    TO

    THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY

    AUGUST, 2021
    WHAT ARE BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES?
     Biologically active or bioactive peptides are unique amino acid sequences
    found encrypted in food proteins, that can have additional physiological
    health benefits beyond their basic nutritional value

     These peptides are typically between 2 and 30 amino acids in


    length and have hormone-like properties

     Bioactive peptides are inactive within the parent proteins, but can
    be released through fermentation or hydrolysis
     They are known for their profound physiological functionalities like anti-
    microbial, anti-diabaetic, anti-hypertensive, hypercholesterolemic,
    immunomodulatory etc,.
    SOURCES OF BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES

     Bioactive peptides can be obtained


    from a variety of sources including
    microbes, plants and animals, as
    they play a major role in
    metabolism.
     Despite the main source being
    food products, some of them are
    derived from plants and animals.
    BENEFIT OF BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES
    BIOACTIVE PEPTIDE PRODUCTION
    DIARY PRODUCTS AS SOURCES OF BIOACTIVE PEPTIDE

     Milk and milk products play an important role in human


    nutrition and health status
     Milk contains several bioactive components inherently,
    whereas several others are produced when milk is subjected
    to processing (fermentation etc.) and specific treatment
    conditions.
     Several milk components, namely lactose, fat, protein (casein
    and whey protein) and minerals serve as the parent
    molecules for nutraceuticals.
    GENERATION OF MILK-DERIVED BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES
    AND THEIR PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONALITIES
    CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
     The cardiovascular system consists of the heart,
    blood vessels, and the approximately 5 liters of
    blood that the blood vessels transport.
     Responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients,
    hormones, and cellular waste products throughout
    the body
     Cardio- heart Vascular- vessels

     From this, we may simply put that, Cardiovascular


    health refers to the state of wellness or well-being
    of the heart and blood vessels
    CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH RISK FACTORS
     Cardiac failure can be caused by
    cardiovascular issues such as; 
     heart attack,
     coronary artery disease (damage to
    the inside of the blood vessels of
    the heart)
     hypertension (high blood pressure)
     Diabetes
     obesity.
    BIOACTIVITY OF MILK-DERIVED PEPTIDES ON
    CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
     Antihypertensive effects
     The precursor products that confer this potential in milk are
    the various subunits of milk protein, casein and whey protein.
    These precursors include αs1-, β-casein, α-lactalbumin, β-
    lactoglobulin.
     These precursors yield peptide fragments (such as VPP, IPP)
    which have angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory
    effect.
    SCHEMATIC DISPLAY OF DIARY BIOACTIVE PEPTIDE ARSENAL
    ANTIHYPERTENSIVE ACTIVITY OF MILK BIOACTIVE
    PEPTIDE
    CONCLUSION

     Bioactive peptides can be obtained from different sources of


    nature. These peptides exert positive effects on physiological
    health of human. For this to happen, these peptides should be
    synthesised to carry out their function specifically
    RECOMMENDATION

     More studies should be conducted towards the search for


    bioactive peptides of food origin, as a means to target,
    prevent, or ameliorate disease causing conditions which poses
    threat to the biological system.
