This study investigated the effects of fermented milk peptides (FMP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity were significantly ameliorated in FMP (10 mg/kg BW/day) group compared to those of the skimmed milk or captopril (CAP, 50 mg/kg BW/day) groups, respectively. The higher plasma nitric oxide (NO) level and the reduced aortic thickness were found in the FMP and CAP groups versus those in the control group, respectively. In conclusion, fermented milk products containing tripeptides have been shown to be a well-tolerated dietary option against mild hypertension.
