Research progress on the mechanism of food-derived antihypertensive peptides
In this review,several mechanisms of antihypertensive peptides derived from food and its by-products were summarized.Mechanisms based on the RAAS system such as ACE/Ang Ⅱ/AT1R signaling pathways and ACE2/Ang(1-7)/MasR signaling pathways were included.Mechanisms targeting at KNOS system including PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway,PPAR-γ/caspase3/MAPK/eNOS signaling pathway and L-type Ca2+channel were also discussed.In addition,the pathways of reducing blood pressure by inhibiting endothelin-converting enzyme(ECE)activity discovered in recent years were also introduced.
