Biological activities and methods of isolation of fish peptides
Fish, like other aquatic organisms, are a potential source of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. Studies of the pharmacological effects of fish peptides revealed their antihypertensive, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, and antimicrobial activities. Analysis of literature data confirms that fish can be used not only for the nutritional purposes, but also as a source of unique peptides with a broad spectrum of biological activity. Further investigatins will allow the inclusion of fish peptides as acting agents in modern medicinal drugs.
