Dose-Related Antihypertensive Properties and the Corresponding Mechanisms of a Chicken Foot Hydrolysate in Hypertensive Rats

Mas-Capdevila A, Pons Z, Aleixandre A, et al. · Nutrients

The hydrolysate lowered systolic blood pressure at 55 and 85 mg/kg via ACE inhibition. Included only to show the kind of evidence that exists for chicken-feet peptides — blood pressure in rats, not cartilage in anyone.

Population

Spontaneously hypertensive rats

Intervention

Chicken-foot protein hydrolysate (Hpp11) at 25, 55, or 85 mg/kg

Comparator

Water; captopril 50 mg/kg as positive control

Limitations

Rat study; outcome unrelated to joints; purified hydrolysate is not equivalent to eating chicken feet.
