Abstract

TSC6-peptide is an 8-amino acid synthetic peptide compound that inhibits intestinal α-amylase upon oral administration to control the digestion and absorption of starchy foods. However, its toxicological safety and other scientific evidence remain to be established. Given the potential utility of TSC6-peptide as an α-amylase inhibitor, this study conducted in vivo and in vitro experiments to suppo…
