Gut Health & Bioactive Peptides (GUT-BIOPEP)
Today, the guts of healthy and diseased individuals are exposed to diverse mixtures of dairy and more sustainable plant-based proteins and peptides with bioactive functionality. To facilitate beneficial targeted utilization of these compounds, knowledge gaps on their effects on development, maintenance and restoration of functional gut integrity need to be filled (this proposal). This will open new opportunities for novel nutritional solutions from early life to adulthood in health and disease.
