Common bean protein hydrolysate modulates lipid metabolism and  prevents endothelial dysfunction in BALB/c mice fed an atherogenic diet

Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) protein hydrolysate is a source of bioactive peptides with known health benefits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of common bean protein hydrolysate on lipid metabolism and endothelial function in male adult BALB/c mice fed an atherogenic diet for nine weeks.
