The presence of collagen-derived peptides in the blood after consuming the different peptides. Mice with the abdominal surgery were fed a normal diet and consumed just water (HO) or water that contained milk-derived casein (CS), high molecular weight collagen peptides (HP), and low molecular weight collagen peptides (LP) for 21 days. After the study was completed, collagen peptides in the plasma were measured using a LC–MS/MS technique. Higher contents of peptides were detected in the following groups Hyp-Gly, Pro-Hyp, Gly-Pro-Hyp, and Pro-Hyp-Gly. The comparison was done between the levels on day 0 and day 21 in the same group and between the groups on day 21. N = 5 or 6/group, Mean ± SE, #p > 0.1, *p < 0.05.
