Recent studies show bioactive peptides to enhance the body's antioxidant status, antisepsis capacity, immune function, anti-inflammatory capacity, mineral absorption, and appetite. This book covers general principles, such as host response, quality factors, protein economics, and muscle loss. It includes case studies on ageing, AIDS, COPD, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney failure, and tuberculosis.--Provided by publisher.Peptide drugsDietary supplementsProteinsMetabolismProteins in human nutritionAppetite stimulantsPeptide drugs.Dietary supplements.ProteinsMetabolism.Proteins in human nutrition.Appetite stimulants.572/.65Owusu-Apenten R.
