According to a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the combination of milk protein may reduce hardening of the arteries and therefore, episodes of atherosclerosis. These benefits would provide the milk, would be very useful to improve cardiovascular health.

Research conducted at the University of Helsinki, established the benefits of milk proteins may contribute to cardiovascular health, through a combination of proteins, such as isoleucyl-proline-proline (IPP) and valyl-proline-proline (VPP) which would be responsible for reducing arterial stiffness and improve function of endothelial cells found in blood vessels.

Study description

* The research was conducted on a sample of 89 people suffering from hypertension. Was chosen at random a group to which he gave a low dose of tripeptides (5 mg / day) for 12 weeks followed by a high dose (50 mg / day) for 12 weeks. The other group received a placebo.

Results

* At the end of the study measured arterial stiffness by augmentation index (AIX). It had decreased by 1.53% in the group receiving the combination of tripeptides. While in the control group had increased arterial stiffness.

* In both groups there were no differences in endothelial function.

Conclusions

* The researchers note that the action of such peptides may be due to the inhibition that they exercise on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).
* This would prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which has a high vasoconstrictor effect. These benefits provide the combination of protein, improve not only blood flow but also blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
