    The global burden of hypertension continues to rise, highlighting an urgent need for effective therapeutic strategies. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is central to blood pressure regulation, but commonly used synthetic ACE inhibitors often have adverse side effects, spurring the search for safer natural alternatives. The aim of this study was to investigate Yanbian cattle hemoglobin as a novel precursor for ACE inhibitory peptides. The 50 = 54.95 μM). Inhibition kinetics showed FHDYL acted as a mixed-type inhibitor, DLGHF and NFGYDL as competitive inhibitors and GFHLD as a non-competitive inhibitor. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the stable binding of these bovine blood-derived peptides to the ACE complex. HUVEC functional assays demonstrated that four peptides significantly increased angiotensin II-induced nitric oxide production and endothelin-1 levels, suggesting their potential antihypertensive activity. These findings suggested that bovine blood is a promising natural source of ACE-inhibitory peptides and holds potential for application as a functional component in functional foods targeting hypertension management.
