Pyroglutamyl peptide–rich rice protein hydrolysate restores cecal N -acetyl amino acids in high-fat-diet–fed rats, outperforming short-chain fatty acids as early microbial markers
Journal of Food Bioactives
Abstract Pyroglutamyl-leucine (pyroGlu-Leu) is a food-derived modified peptide known to modulate the gut microbiota. This study examined the effects of orally administered rice pro
