Orally administered soymorphins, soy-derived opioid peptides, suppress feeding and intestinal transit via gut μ 1-receptor coupled to 5-HT 1A, D 2, and GABA B systems

We previously reported that soymorphins, μ-opioid agonist peptides derived from soy β-conglycinin β-subunit, have anxiolytic-like activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of soymorphins on food intake and gut motility, along with their mechanism. We found that soymorphins de…
