Abstract in brief

  • The study found that the whey protein-derived peptide ProGluTrp (PEW) helps reduce hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) in rats by improving uric acid excretion through the intestines, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting intestinal tissue.
  • PEW also rebalances gut microbiota by decreasing harmful bacteria and increasing beneficial ones, which leads to higher levels of short-chain fatty acids that support gut health.
  • Additionally, PEW enhances the intestinal barrier by increasing proteins that maintain gut integrity and lowering inflammatory markers, contributing to overall better gut function and uric acid regulation.
