The peptide presented antioxidant activity with values of 0.313 ± 0.029 umol Trolox/umol peptide.
Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in zebrafish larvae
The peptide was found to efficiently inhibit lipid perosidation (61.0 % inhibition of lipid peroxidation).
Toxicity in the Zebrafish model (Danio rerio)
The peptide was not toxic in zebrafish eggs and larvae at concentrations lower than 50 ug/ml. Concentrations higher than 50 ug/ml was toxic for both zebrafish eggs and larvae.

In the zebrafish larvae test, this peptide does not present toxicity at a
concentration of 50 ug/ml for zebrafish eggs. However, concentration
higher than 50 ug/ml of peptide was cytotoxic to zebrafish egg after 24
hours of incubation.
