    There are many kinds of peptides in human body, which dominate the growth, development, reproduction, metabolism and other life processes With the development of scientific research technology, peptides synthesized in vitro are more and more active, and have antiviral, immunoradiation enhancing, anti hyperlipidemia, cholesterol lowering and other effects What are the specific functions and functions of small molecular peptides?
    What is peptide?
    Small peptide is a compound fragment between amino acid and protein, which is composed of two or more amino acid molecules connected by peptide bond It is the structure and function fragment of protein Many active substances in the body, such as hormones and enzymes, are peptides in essence Peptide has strong biological activity, among which small peptide composed of 2-6 amino acids has strong activity   Function and function of peptide
    1、 On the macro level
    Small molecular peptide plays a key role in the process of human growth and development, metabolism, disease, aging and death It is precisely because of the increase or decrease of its secretion in the body that human beings have a cycle from childhood, childhood, adulthood, old age to death Peptide is in a state of balance in the human body If it is reduced, the function of the human body will change significantly For children, its growth and development will be slow, even stop If it goes on for a long time, it will form dwarfism For adults or the elderly, after lack of active peptide, their immunity will decline, metabolism will be disordered, endocrine will be disordered, and various diseases will be caused   2、 On the micro level
    The functions and functions of small molecular peptides are as follows: Regulate the balance of water and electrolyte in the body; 2 Make antibodies against bacteria and infection for the immune system to improve immunity; 3 Promote wound healing; 4 Making enzymes in the body helps to convert food into energy; 5 Repair cells, improve cell metabolism, prevent cell degeneration and play a role in cancer prevention; 6 Promote the synthesis and regulation of protein, enzyme and enzyme; 7 Important chemical messengers that communicate information between cells and organs; 8 Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; 9 Regulate endocrine and nervous system; 10 Improve the digestive system and treat chronic gastrointestinal diseases; 11 Improve diabetes, rheumatism, rheumatoid and other diseases; 12 Anti virus infection, anti-aging, elimination of excess free radicals in the body; 13 Promote hematopoiesis, treat anemia, prevent platelet aggregation, and improve the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells; 14 It can directly fight against DNA virus and has targeting to virus bacteria.
