Whey protein hydrolysate and branched-chain amino acids downregulate inflammation-related genes in vascular endothelial cells

In this study, we hypothesized that whey proteins may have a greater anti-inflammatory effect than caseins. A model of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), with or without TNF- α stimulation, was used in order to investigate the effect of several dairy protein compounds on inflammation.
