Wheat oligopeptides enhance the intestinal mucosal barrier and alleviate inflammation via the TLR4Myd88MAPK signaling pathway in aged mice

Background: Aging can induce oxidative stress, inflammation and mucosal impairment, and few works have been conducted to investigate the protective effects of WP on the natural intestinal aging process. Objective: The present work aimed to examine the protective effect of wheat oligopeptides (WP) on intestine mucosal impairment in aged mice, and investigate the potential antioxidation, anti-inflammatory effects of WP. Design: Seventy-two aged mice (24 months old) were randomly divided into six...
