Abstract

Food-derived active peptides (FDAPs) are a class of peptides that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and other effects. In recent years, active peptides from natural foods have been reported to improve skin photoaging, but their mechanisms have not been summarized to date. In this review, we focused on the preparation of FDAPs, their mechanisms of photoaging, and their function against photoaging through the gastrointestinal barrier. Furthermore, the latest progress on FDAPs in the prevention and treatment of skin photoaging

Research summary

The paper discusses food-derived active peptides and their potential role in ameliorating skin photoaging, which is a concern related to aging. However, it primarily focuses on the mechanisms and effects of these peptides rather than addressing the root causes of aging or lifespan extension. While it contributes to the understanding of skin aging, its impact on the broader field of longevity research is limited, making it a solid but not groundbreaking contribution.
