Mu myaka iheze, n’iterambere ry’ubumenyi bw’ubuzima kw’isi yose, abaguzi barafise ugushaka kwinshi ku bijanye n’imiti myiza kandi idatekanye yo gucungera uburemere. Nk’ikintu gitera ubuzima, peptides zigenda zikura zagaragaje ubushobozi buhambaye mu bijanye no gucunga uburemere kandi zacitse ikintu nyamukuru co kwitwararika mu bijanye n’ingaburo n’ubuzima.
Ivyimburwa vy’umubiri ni umugwi w’ibice vy’umubiri bigufi vy’ibara ry’agahama (peptides peptides). Uburyo bwavyo bwo gukora burimwo gutuma habaho ugutuma habaho ugukura kw’imitsi y’umubiri, kwihutisha ukubora kw’ibinure, no kugabanya ubushobozi bwo kubika bw’ingingo z’ibinure. Ugereranije n’imiti ya kera yo gutera, peptides zo guteranya zifise ubushobozi bwo gukorana n’ibinyabuzima n’ingaruka mbi z’ingaruka mbi, ni co gituma zikundwa cane mw’isoko ry’ibifungurwa bikora n’ivyo kurya vy’ibifungurwa.
Ivyigwa vya siyansi vyerekanye ko amapeptide amwe amwe y’ugutembagazwa ashobora gukora ku kibanza c’amategeko c’imboga c’imbere y’igihe c’amaraso y’umubiri ({0}}bora y’ubwonko, gutyo bikagabanya ivyo kurya. Muri ico gihe nyene, barashobora kandi gukoresha inzira z’ibimenyetso mu bihimba vy’umubiri bita adipocytes, bigatuma habaho lipolyse, no kwihutisha gusha. Ikindi, amapeptide amwe amwe y’umubiri afise ubushobozi bwo guhangana n’indwara y’umururumba n’imiti igabanya ububabare, ivyo bikaba bifasha gutuma umubiri ugira amagara meza no kugabanya ingorane z’umuvyibuho ukabije.
Uvuye ku isoko, ugukomeza kw’ibiciro vy’umuvyibuho w’isi yose vyatumye habaho iterambere ry’ugusaba ibintu vyo gucunga uburemere. Amapeptide y’ugushushanya yaracitse buhoro buhoro ibirungo nyamukuru vy’ibifungurwa vy’agaciro kanini na -and ibifungurwa bikora n’ibintu vy’ingaburo y’imikino bitewe n’inkomoko yavyo n’ubushobozi bwavyo. Amasoko y’i Buraya, Amerika n’aya Aziya, kandi abaguzi barakunda guhitamwo inyishu z’ubuzima zifise ibirungo bitomoye n’umutekano mwinshi.
Mu gihe kizoza, n’iterambere ry’ubuhinga bwa none n’uburyo bwo gukura, igiciro c’uguhingura c’amapeptide y’ubuhinga bwa none citezwe ko kizogabanuka kandi urugero rw’ugukoresha ruzorushiriza kwaguka. Yaba ari co kintu nyamukuru c’ivyo kurya vy’inyongera canke bishizwe mu binyobwa bikora kandi biteguye -kurya- ivyokurya bifise akamaro, peptides zo guteranya zishobora kuba imwe mu buhinga nyamukuru bwo gucunga uburemere. Ku baguzi n’amashirahamwe yibanda ku guhingura ibintu bishasha mu vy’ubuzima, uwo muce ukwiye kubandanya kwitwararika.
