Combine milk protein may reduce atherosclerosis
Properties of a study published in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a mixture of milk proteins could reduce arterial hardening and thus, the incidence of atherosclerosis. These advantages make the milk will be very useful for improving cardiovascular health.
Research at the University of Helsinki, has established the benefits of milk protein may contribute to cardiovascular health, through a combination of protein, such as isoleucyl-Proline-Proline (IPP) and valyl-Proline-Proline (VPP) which will be responsible for reduce hardness and improve arterial endothelial cell function in blood vessels.
Details of the research
* The study was conducted on a sample of people 89 and hypertension. He randomly chose a test group was provided with a minimum of tripeptides (5 mg / day) for 12 weeks followed by a high level (50 mg / day) for 12 weeks. another group received placebo.
results
* At the end of the arterial hardness measured by the survey report augmentation (AIX). He had fallen from 1.53% in the group receiving the combination of tripeptides. While in the control group increased arterial hardening.
* In both groups, there was no difference in endothelial function.
conclusion
* The researchers note that these peptides stage may be due to inhibition they exert on the enzyme angiotensin converting (ACE).
* This would prevent conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II, which is the highest vasoconstrictor. These benefits provide a combination of protein, not only improve blood circulation, but also high blood pressure, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
