“…Milk proteins are good sources of bioactive peptides which possess immunoregulatory, opioid, antioxidant and antihypertensive activities (Martin, Henry, & Bouhallab, 1999;Parrot, Degraeve, Curia, & Martial, 2003;Pihlanto, 2001). Casein phosphopeptides (CPPs), derived from casein, possess a potential cytoprotective effect against H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative stress by preserving cell biology and enzyme-mediated antioxidant systems (Laparra, Alegria, Barbera, & Farre, 2008). They have been shown to bind pro-oxidant metals, such as iron and to inhibit lipid oxidation as metal chelators (Kim, Jang, & Kim, 2007).…”
