Influence of Dipeptide Structure on Hydrolysis by Rumen Fluid and Blood of Sheep
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 November 2021
Extract
The ruminal digestion of protein results in the production of peptides (3) which are an intermediate step in the conversion of ingested protein to ammonia. Low molecular weight peptides can also act as substrate for tissue metabolism (2). While it has been shown that low molecular weight peptides are present in ruminant blood (4), their hydrolysis rate has not been investigated. The following in vitro study was conducted to investigate the disappearance rate from blood and rumen fluid of sheep of two different dipeptides; glycylproline and glycylphenylalanine.
