Corn peptides attenuate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via PINK1Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy

Background: Corn peptides, a novel food prepared from corn gluten meal (CGM) by enzymatic hydrolysis or microbial fermentation, have attracted considerable interest owing to their various bioactive properties. However, the underlying mechanism of corn peptides attenuate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of corn peptides in NAFLD and to decipher the under- lying mechanisms. Design:NAFLD was induced by a high-fat diet...
