Presence of adropin, nesfatin-1, apelin-12, ghrelins and salusins peptides in the milk, cheese whey and plasma of dairy cows

► The milk, cheese whey and plasma of dairy cows contain peptides. ► Cheese whey peptides are at a slightly higher level than milk peptides. ► Dairy cow milk peptides are generally at a higher concentration than in their plasma. ► Cheese whey peptides might be an important source for human diet. ► Adropin, nesfatin-1 ghrelins and salusins have now been found in the milk, cheese whey and plasma of dairy cows.
