“Even the completely digested products of casein with trypsin or chymotrypsin showed inhibitory activities against the two proteases.”
“It was suggested that not only the intact casein but also the products digested with trypsin or chymotrypsin contribute to the inhibitory effect of casein on the proteases in the intestinal lumen.”
“Feeding 70% casein significantly stimulated increases of 32, 87, 74, 216, and 1,450% in pancreatic DNA, RNA, wet weight, protein content, and chymotrypsin content, respectively.”

“A specific induction of increased level of chymotrypsin in the pancreas of adult snakes was achieved by feeding with casein (12-fold that of the fasting level).”
“In newborn snakes, fed for the first time, casein induced a dramatic increase in the level of chymotrypsin in the pancreas (58 times the fasting level); feeding with starch induced an approximate 2-fold increase of chymotrypsin.”

“Results: Among the three different enzyme hydrolysates, casein treated with chymotrypsin shows the highest antidiabetic activity among other enzymes.”
