Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment (CI) is a significant public health concern, and bioactive peptides have shown potential as therapeutic agents. However, information about their synergistic effects on cognitive function is still limited. Here, we investigated the synergistic effects of tilapia head protein hydrolysate (THPH) and walnut protein hydrolysate (WPH) in mitigating CI induced by scopolamine in mice. RESULTS The results showed that the combined supplementation of THPH and WPH (mass ratio, 1:1) was superior to either individual supplement in enhancing spatial memory and object recognition abilities in CI mice, and significantly lessened brain injury in CI mice by alleviating neuronal damage, reducing oxidative stress and stabilizing the cholinergic system. In addition, the combined supplementation was found to be more conducive to remodeling the gut microbiota structure in CI mice by not only remarkably reducing the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidota, but also specifically enriching the genus Roseburia. On the other hand, the combined supplementation regulated the disorders of sphingolipid and amino acid metabolism in CI mice, particularly upregulating glutathione and histidine metabolism, and displayed a stronger ability to increase the expression of genes and proteins related to the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/TrkB/CrEB signaling pathway in the brain. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that tilapia head and walnut-derived protein hydrolysates exerted synergistic effects in ameliorating CI, which was achieved through modulation of gut microbiota, serum metabolic pathways and BDNF signaling pathways. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Wu D, Cheng M, Yi X, Xia G, Liu Z, Shi H, Shen X. Effects of Mactra chinenesis Peptides on Alcohol-Induced Acute Liver Injury and Intestinal Flora in Mice. Foods 2024; 13:1431. [PMID: 38790731 PMCID: PMC11119424 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Food-borne bioactive peptides have shown promise in preventing and mitigating alcohol-induced liver injury. This study was the first to assess the novel properties of Mactra chinenesis peptides (MCPs) in mitigating acute alcoholic liver injury in mice, and further elucidated the underlying mechanisms associated with this effect. The results showed that MCPs can improve lipid metabolism by modulating the AMPK signaling pathway, decreasing fatty acid synthase activity, and increasing carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a activity. Meanwhile, MCPs ameliorate inflammation by inhibiting the NF-κB activation, leading to reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β). Additionally, a 16S rDNA sequencing analysis revealed that MCPs can restore the balance of gut microbiota and increase the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria. These findings suggest that supplementation of MCPs could attenuate alcohol intake-induced acute liver injury, and, thus, may be utilized as a functional dietary supplement for the successful treatment and prevention of acute liver injury.

Abstract
We fabricated a mussel-inspired hemocompatible polycarbonate membrane (PC) modified by the cross-linking of chondroitin sulfate and caffeic acid polymer using CA-CS via a Schiff base and Michael addition reaction and named it CA-CS-PC. The as-fabricated CA-CS-PC membrane shows excellent hydrophilicity with a water contact angle of 0° and a negative surface charge with a zeta potential of -32 mV. The antiadhesion property of the CA-CS-modified PC membrane was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using human plasma protein fibrinogen adsorption studies, and proved to have excellent antiadhesion properties, because of the lower fibrinogen adsorption. In addition, the CA-CS-PC membrane also shows enhanced hemocompatibility. Finally, blood cell attachment tests of the CA-CS-PC membrane were observed by CLSM and SEM, and the obtained results proved that CA-CS-PC effectively resisted cell adhesion, such as platelets and leucocytes. Therefore, this work disclosed a new way to design a simple and versatile modification of the membrane surface by caffeic acid and chondroitin sulfate and apply it for cell adhesion.

Novel Biomarker Establishment for Evaluation of Excessive Fructose Consumption Using a Rat Model. In Vivo 2023; 37:173-181. [PMID: 36593010 PMCID: PMC9843779 DOI: 10.21873/invivo.13066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The habitual consumption of excessive fructose is associated with the onset and progression of lifestyle-related diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we investigated the physiological changes observed when consuming a diet containing excessive fructose on the viewpoints of hepatotoxicity biological markers using a rat model and explored the biomarker candidates that could detect the effects of excessive fructose intake at an early stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male rats were fed 63% high fructose diet (HFrD) ad libitum and their blood samples were collected before and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after allocation. The plasma biochemical parameters, hepatotoxic enzyme activities including alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isozymes were analyzed. RESULTS HFrD consumption for 4-weeks created NAFLD-like symptoms, including elevated plasma lipid parameters and hepatotoxicity markers, as well as fat accumulation in the liver compared with rats consuming a control diet. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) were increased from the 3rd and 2nd weeks, respectively, but no changes were observed on ALP activity. However, the daily consumption of the HFrD increased the plasma activities of liver-type ALP isozyme, and decreased plasma small intestinal-type ALP isozyme soon after the start of feeding. CONCLUSION ALP isozyme analysis in combination with GLDH and ALT activities in the plasma samples could be a useful tool to detect the physiological changes induced by excessive fructose intake at an early stage of the development of NAFLD.
