Ameliorative Effects of Peptides Derived from Oyster ( Crassostrea gigas ) on Immunomodulatory Function and Gut Microbiota Structure in Cyclophosphamide-Treated Mice
The intestinal flora is recognized as a significant contributor to the immune system. In this research, the protective effects of oyster peptides on immune regulation and intestinal microbiota were investigated in mice treated with cyclophosphamide. The results showed that oyster peptides restored t...
