Why aren't we researching chicken egg peptides more?

I am interested in the properties of the peptides that are in chicken eggs. One study even showed them to be bioactive orally and reduces blood pressure! I am wondering why nobody has attempted to make a peptide extract of chicken egg yolk/whites, since Cerebroylsin seems to be popular and that is essential a pig brain extract. There just aren't enough studies done I guess, but I imagine it would have similar properties to Cerebroylsin because eggs have to support a developing embryo for an extended period of time.

Ohh damn, I was just thinking about vasodilators today, and how to improve them. Arg-Ala-Asp-His-Phe-Leu looks like it could be a promising sequence to investigate. It has asparigine in it. So it would be more at risk for hydrolysis. I'm sure some modifications could be made to address that. No need to extract if from eggs. Just do a solid phase peptide synth of the sequence that shows most promise.
