Fermented lactotripeptides-containing milk lowers daytime blood pressure in high normal-to-mild hypertensive subjects.
This study shows that consumption of fermented lactotripeptides (LTPs)-containing milk may have an acute daytime effect on blood pressure that appeared sustained with daily intake over a period of 4 weeks. Angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition by LTPs could not be confirmed in plasma.
