Soy bean150–500 DaPigs with DSS-induced colitis250 mg/kg BW for 5 dPeptides decreased TNF and IL-6 levels and inhibited IFN-γ, IL-1β, and TNF expression[141]
Soy beanVPYCaco-2 cells and mouse of DSS-induced colitis mice0.1, 1, 2, and 4 mM for 2 h and 10 and 100 mg/kg BW for 14 dVPY inhibited IL-8 secretion and reduced the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and IL-17[108]
Salmon<1000 DaDSS-induced colitis in rats3.5% in diet for 29 dPeptides reduced inflammation by reducing IL-6 and IL-1β expressions[142]
Egg shell membraneAlcalase and protease STNF-α induced Caco-2 cells and DSS-treated colitis mice0.001, 0.01, 0.5, and 0.1 mg/mL for 2 hPeptides inhibited IL-8 secretion and decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels[143]

Egg white ovotransferrinPepsin and trypsinCR, FL, HC, LL, and MKTNF-α-induced Caco-2 cells0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL for 2 hPeptides decreased expression of TNF-α, IL-8, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-12, and enhanced IL-10 expression. CR and HC attenuated intestinal inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK pathways[103]
Milk wheyPronaseIPAVTNF-α induced Caco-2 cells2.5 and 5 mg/mL for 1 hIPAV showed anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting IL-8 expression and suppressing phosphorylation of p65, ERK1/2, p38, JNK1/2, and Syk signaling[102]
Egg whiteDEDTQAMPFR, MLGATSL, SLSFASR, and MSYSAGFDSS-induced colitis mice50 or 150 mg/kg/day for 14 dPeptides inhibited the local production of TNF-α and IL-6 and reduced the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and MCP-1[111]
Common bean (Phaseolus vulga L.) milk and yogurtsPepsin and pancreatinγ-E-S-(Me)C, γ-EL, and LLVTNF-α-induced Caco-2 cells0.5 mg/mL for 2 hPeptides inhibited TNF-α-induced IL-8 production via inhibiting activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways[113]
Egg whitePancreatinDEDTQAMPFR, DEDTQAMPF, MLGATSL, and MSYSAGFTNF-α-induced Caco-2 cells0.1, 0.25, or 0.5 mg/mL for 2 hPeptides downregulated the expression of IL-8, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-12 and upregulated IL-10 expression via inhibiting NF-κB and MAPK pathways[110]
