Milk-derived tripeptides IPP (Ile-Pro-Pro) and VPP (Val-Pro-Pro) differentially modulate angiotensin II effects on vascular smooth muscle cells
Hyperactivity of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is a hallmark of hypertension. Angiotensin II (AngII), the active component of RAS, not only promotes vasoconstriction but also contributes to proliferation, inflammation and oxidative stress in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) that predispose t...
