2014). This finding was extended to skeletal muscle myocytes by Neidert et al. (2016), who showed that blocking the MMPs present in whey protein resulted in reduced DPP‐IV shedding from the myocyte membrane. This is significant because MMPs can increase with hypoxia (Rohrborn et al. 2014) and with hyperglycemia (Death et al. 2003; Chang and Vivian Yang 2013) and exercise (Schild et al. 2016), and may decline as women age (Nascimento Dda et al. 2016). This evidence concerns the gene DPP4 and Hyperglycemia.
