GM soybeans could help prevent hair loss
Researchers incorporate an antihypertensive substance derived from egg whites into the soybean to achieve the goal.
05/05/05 A team of reserachers at Japan's Kyoto University used genetic engineering technology to incorporate an antihypertensive substance derived from egg whites into the soybean.
The Japanese news service claim the team identified an antihypertensive substance called ovokinin in an amino acid compound found in ovalbumin in egg whites.
In order to enhance ovokinin's antihypertensive property, the team created a substance – novokinin - by modifying some amino acids in ovokinin.
