The reduction in food intake may be related to the activity of GIP, able to cross the blood barrier, on its receptors sited in the arcuate (ARC) nucleus and other hypothalamic centers
We begin by exploring the sources, structural characteristics, and bioavailability of collagen-based supplements, followed by an in-depth discussion of biological activities, including antioxidant, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory, and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activities
