Fish derived bio-active peptides and their metabolic effects Balık kaynaklı biyo-aktif peptidler ve metabolik etkileri

Like many other organisms, fishes are also rich sources of bio-active compounds which were well studied by research focused on their antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antioxidant and antitumor activities. They can be used not only for good nutritional value, but also for peptides obtained with analytic processes that were developed in last decades. Aquatic organisms total the highest number of species in world, therefore discovering bio-active peptides in them is more possible than in others, which was clearly shown in previous studies. Abundance of native and obtained peptides from long chain polypeptides with proper enzymatic methods may open new horizons for medical research.
