β-lactolin, a Monoamine Oxidase B Inhibitory Lactopeptide, Suppresses Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Astrocytes

Astrocytes are known to regulate normal brain function. Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), an enzyme highly expressed in astrocytes, metabolizes dopamine (DA) and induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. We have previously reported that β-lactolin, a whey-derived glycine–threonine–tryptophan–tyro...
