The aim of this work was to determine bioavailability and in vivo calmodulin-dependent-phosphodiesterase (CaMPDE)-inhibitory activity of six flaxseed-protein-derived peptides (AGA, AKLMS, QIAK, RWIQ, QQAKQ, and KQLSTGC) after oral administration to Wistar rats. Initial experiments tested the cytotoxicity and cellular-transport potentials of the peptides using Caco-2 cells. The cytotoxicity assay indicated that none of the six peptides had an adverse effect on the proliferation and viability of the Caco-2 cells, whereas the transport assay confirmed peptide translocation across the cell membrane. However, only two of the peptides (AGA and RWIQ) were detected in the rat serum up to 90 min postgavage... More
