A Novel Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Pentapeptide from Red Mold Rice: Identification, Stability, In V i vo Antihypertensive Effects, and Underlying Mechanisms
Bioactive peptides from fermented food have potential for hypertension management. Red mold rice (RMR), a traditional food made by fermenting rice with Monascus strains, has shown antihypertensive effects. However, research on ACE inhibitory peptides from RMR remains limited. In this study, a novel pentapeptide Val-L...
