[0148] In yet other embodiments, the method for reducing the inflammatory response includes providing a nutritional composition ซึ่งประกอบรวมด้วย a peptide component from
Table 1, โดยที่ the peptide component is derived from a casein ไฮโดรไลเซต having a molar mass distribution of greater than 500 Daltons. In some embodiments, the molar mass distribution of the casein ไฮโดรไลเซต is in a range of 500 to 2000 Daltons. In
other embodiments, the method for reducing the inflammatory response includes
providing a nutritional composition ซึ่งประกอบรวมด้วย the peptide component described herein,
โดยที่ the peptide component is derived from a casein ไฮโดรไลเซต that does not
include peptides having a molar mass distribution of less than 200 Daltons.
[0150] In embodiments when the nutritional composition is an infant forrnula, the
composition may advantageously reduce a การตอบสนอง แบบส่งเสริมการอักเสบ in the infant, and thereby reduce the incidence of inflammatory disease. Moreover, the reduction in
inflammatory disease may last throughout childhood and into adulthood. Similarly,
when the nutritional composition is a growing-up milk, a child who ingests the growing-
up milk may experience a reduction in the incidence of inflammatory disease in
adulthood, as well as during childhood.
