Dairy products are associated with numerous health benefits. These are a good source of nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein (bioactive peptides), lipids, minerals, and vitamins, which are essential for growth, development, and maintenance of the human body. Accordingly, dairy bioactive peptides are one of the targeted compounds present in different dairy products. Dairy bioactive compounds can be classified as antihypertensive, anti-oxidative, immmunomodulant, anti-mutagenic, antimicrobial, opoid, anti-thrombotic, anti-obesity, and mineral-binding agents, depending upon biological functions. These bioactive peptides can easily be produced by enzymatic hydrolysis, and during fermentation and gastrointestinal digestion. For this reason, fermented dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, and sour milk, are gaining popularity worldwide, and are considered excellent source of dairy peptides. Furthermore, fermented and non-fermented dairy products are associated with lower risks of hypertension, coagulopathy, stroke, and cancer insurgences. The current review article is an attempt to disseminate general information about dairy peptides and their health claims to scientists, allied stakeholders, and, certainly, readers.

乳生物活性肽的治疗潜力：当代观点

乳制品具有许多健康益处。这些是碳水化合物，蛋白质（生物活性肽），脂质，矿物质和维生素等营养素的良好来源，这些营养素对人体的生长，发育和维持至关重要。因此，乳生物活性肽是存在于不同乳制品中的目标化合物之一。乳制品的生物活性化合物可根据生物学功能分为抗高血压药，抗氧化药，免疫调节药，抗诱变药，抗微生物药，阿片类药物，抗血栓形成药，抗肥胖药和矿物质结合剂。这些生物活性肽可以容易地通过酶水解以及在发酵和胃肠消化过程中产生。因此，酸奶，奶酪和酸牛奶等发酵乳制品在全球范围内越来越受欢迎，并被认为是乳制品肽的极佳来源。此外，发酵和非发酵乳制品与高血压，凝血病，中风和癌症病发的风险降低有关。当前的这篇评论文章旨在向科学家，相关的利益相关者以及当然是读者传播有关乳肽及其健康主张的一般信息。
