Peptides: The Wave of the Future

Abstract

Coeliac disease (CD) or gluten sensitive enteropathy is an autoimmune disease mainly affecting the proximal small intestine [1]. It is caused in susceptible persons by the ingestion of certain cereal proteins, i.e. gliadins and glutenins from wheat. The intestinal mucosa shows characteristic lesions resulting in malabsorption of nutrients.
