Produktbeschreibung

A summary of the benefits of bioactive peptides used to mitigate major metabolic derangements that result in unwanted weight loss, this book presents data from human studies and trials, along with recent research findings. It covers the background science on the relationship between illness and muscle weight loss, highlighting bioactive peptides' ability to enhance the body's antioxidant status, antisepsis capacity, immune function, anti-inflammatory capacity, growth potential, and appetite. Building on this, the author discusses the use of bioactive peptides to modify aspects of the host response to illness, including inflammation, antimicrobial activity, anabolic dysfunction, and anorexia.
