Overview of Antioxidant Peptides from Plant Proteins
Recent studies highlight the antioxidant properties of peptides from plant proteins. These peptides offer potential for treating oxidation-related diseases, delaying food oxidation, and improving quality of life. The article covers preparation, purification, identification, influencing factors, evaluation methods, and mechanisms of these peptides.
Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2 Boosts Skin Firmness and Fights Aging
Trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 (TFA-T2), with sequence TFA-Val-Try-Val-OH, acts as a matrix metalloproteinase and elastase inhibitor to protect the extracellular matrix. In vitro studies show it decreases progerin synthesis, boosts proteoglycan production, and contracts collagens, leading to reduced wrinkles and increased skin firmness. It also demonstrates progressive effects on wrinkles, elasticity, and sagging in split-face evaluations.
