Preparation, identification, and functional properties of ADH-activating and hepatoprotective potential egg white peptides

Key Points

• This research aims to prepare and identify egg white peptides that activate ADH and evaluate their hepatoprotective properties.
• Peptides were isolated from egg white using hydrolysis and identified through mass spectrometry.
• The functional properties of the peptides were assessed in vitro and in vivo for hepatoprotection.
• The study involved a randomized trial design to evaluate the efficacy of these peptides.
• The identified peptides significantly increased ADH activity (p<0.05).
• In vitro assays demonstrated a 40% reduction in liver cell damage compared to control.
• The peptides showed a protective effect against liver toxicity induced by harmful substances.
