ABSTRACT:   Glycerol galactoside (GG; floridoside + isofloridoside) and porphyra-334 (P-334) are contained in nori (Susabinori Porphyra yezoensis and Asakusanori Porphyra tenera ). Glycerol galactoside has been found to have bifidogenic growth stimulator activity and P-334 is known to have ultraviolet-absorbing activity in the UVA region of sunlight. These substances have, respectively, potential for application to pre-biotic foods and in cosmetics as a sunscreen. In the present study, to investigate the relationships between GG and P-334 contents and the quality of nori, we measured the GG and P-334 contents with other components (total protein, chlorophyll-a, β-carotene and phycobillins) that are related to the quality of nori samples produced from different production areas and with different qualities. We found that the GG content was closely negatively correlated with the contents of other components, whereas P-334 was positively correlated with the other components. From these results, it is suggested that low-quality nori is a potential source of GG, and as a source for P-334, scraps of nori produced during nori processing should be suitable.  相似文献

Trypsin from the viscera of Bogue (Boops boops) was purified to homogeneity by precipitation with ammonium sulphate, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and Mono Q-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography, with an 8.5-fold increase in specific activity and 36% recovery. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 23 kDa by SDS–PAGE and size exclusion chromatography. The purified trypsin appeared as a single band on native-PAGE and zymography staining. The purified enzyme showed esterase-specific activity on N-α-benzoyl-l-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) and amidase activity on N-α-benzoyl-dl-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA). The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity, after 10 min incubation, were pH 9.0 and 55°C, respectively, using BAPNA as a substrate. The trypsin kinetic constants K m and k cat on BAPNA were 0.13 mM and 1.56 s−1, respectively, while the catalytic efficiency k cat /K m was 12 s−1 mM−1. Biochemical characterisation of B. boops trypsin showed that this enzyme can be used as a possible biotechnological tool in the fish processing and food industries.  相似文献

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of dietary α-tocopherol with that of dl-α-tocopheryl acetate, both either alone or in combination with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), on the growth performance, survival, and stress resistance of angelfish, Pterophylum scalare, juveniles. Juveniles were fed ad libitum for four weeks with Artemia enriched with no vitamins (control), vitamin C (Tc), α-tocopherol (Tα), dl-α-tocopheryl acetate (T dl ), α-tocopherol and vitamin C (Tα+C), and dl-α-tocopheryl acetate and vitamin C (T dl+C). After four weeks, an osmotic stress test was performed using seawater (25 g/L) to evaluate juvenile’s resistance to stress. Whole-body glucose and cortisol were used as stress indicators. At the end of the feeding trial, growth performance and survival of the juveniles fed vitamin-enriched Artemia were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than for the control fish. Best performance was recorded for the Tα+C group. Survival, however, was not significantly (P > 0.05) different between the vitamin-fed groups. Osmotic stress significantly elevated the stress indicators, whole-body cortisol and glucose levels (P < 0.05), highest and lowest values being observed in control and Tα+C groups, respectively. Survival after osmotic stress of juveniles fed the Tα+c diet was significantly higher (by 46.2%, P < 0.001) than for controls. Results suggested that α-tocopherol has greater efficacy than dl-α-tocopheryl acetate and enriching Artemia with α-tocopherol and vitamin C together improves growth performance, survival, and stress resistance of angelfish juveniles.  相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) has recently been identified as co-gonadotropin regulating fish reproduction, hitherto, no effort has been made to see its effect on oocyte maturation in fishes, though some reports demonstrate the role of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in oocyte maturation in teleosts. Hence, effect of GH on oocyte maturation in post-vitellogenic H. fossilis has been worked out in the present study. Post-vitellogenic follicles in the ovarian tissue were challenged in vitro with H. fossilis pituitary homogenate (fPH), Clarias batrachus GH and GtH, barramundi IGF-I (IGF-I), 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) and testosterone alone, or in combination with IGF-I for 18 h at 26±1°C. Incubation of ovarian tissue with GH in the presence of actinomycin d or cycloheximide or barramundi IGF-I antiserum was also made separately. In general, oocyte maturation was induced by fPH, barramundi IGF-I, GtH, GH and DHP, which was augmented further by addition of barramundi IGF-I. Testosterone had no effect on GVBD. Actinomycin d, cycloheximide and anti barramundi IGF-I abolished the GH induced oocyte maturation. Present study suggests for the first time that GH has a role in egg maturation in fish.  相似文献

Trypsin from the pyloric ceca of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) cultured in fresh water was purified by a series of chromatographies including Sephacryl S-200, Sephadex G-50 and diethylaminoethyl cellulose to obtain a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and native PAGE. The molecular mass of the purified trypsin was estimated to be approximately 24,000 Da by SDS–PAGE. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, soybean trypsin inhibitor, and N α -p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone. Masu salmon trypsin was stabilized by calcium ion. The optimum pH of the masu salmon trypsin was around pH 8.5, and the trypsin was unstable below pH 5.0. The optimum temperature of the masu salmon trypsin was around 60°C, and the trypsin was stable below 50°C, like temperate-zone and tropical-zone fish trypsins. The N-terminal 20 amino acid sequence of the masu salmon trypsin was IVGGYECKAYSQPHQVSLNS, and its charged amino acid content was lower than those of trypsins from frigid-zone fish and similar to those of trypsins from temperate-zone and tropical-zone fish. In the phylogenetic tree, the masu salmon trypsin was classified into the group of the temperate-zone fish trypsin.  相似文献

We investigated the effects of open- and closed-system temperature changes on the O2 affinity of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) blood using in vitro methods essentially identical to those previously employed on tropical tuna species. Bluefin tuna blood has a general O2 affinity (P 50 = 2.6–3.1 kPa or 19–23 mm Hg at 0.5% CO2) similar to that of skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna, and kawakawa blood (P 50 = 2.8–3.1 kPa at 0.5% CO2) but significantly above that of bigeye tuna blood (P 50 = 1.6–2.0 kPa at 0.5% CO2). We therefore hypothesize that bluefin tuna are less tolerant of hypoxia than bigeye tuna. Further, we found the P 50 of bluefin tuna blood to be slightly reduced by a 10°C open-system temperature increase (e.g., from 4.83 kPa at 15°C to 3.95 kPa at 25°C) and to be completely unaffected by a 10°C closed-system temperature change. Bluefin tuna blood, therefore, had a significantly reduced Bohr effect when subjected to the inevitable changes in P CO 2 and plasma pH that accompany closed-system temperature shifts (0.04–0.09 Δlog P50ΔpH−1) compared with the effects of changes in plasma pH accomplished by changing P CO 2 alone (0.81–0.94 Δlog P50 Δ pH−1). This response is similar to that of skipjack tuna blood, but different from yellowfin or bigeye tuna blood. During closed-system temperature changes at oxygen levels above P 50, however, bluefin tuna blood showed a reversed temperature effect (i.e., P O 2 decreased in response to an increase in temperature). Unlike in other tuna species, temperature effects on O2 affinity of bluefin tuna whole blood were similar to those previously reported for hemoglobin solutions, suggesting that red cell-mediated ligand changes are not involved.  相似文献

Specific binding of [3H]17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17α,20β-DP) to plasma membranes prepared from defolliculated oocytes of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) was identified and characterized. Binding was rapid and reached equilibrium in 30 min. 17α,20β-DP strongly inhibited [3H] 17α,20β-DP binding in a competitive manner. Scatchard analysis revealed two different binding sites: a high affinity binding site with a Kd of 18 nM and a Bmax of 0.2 pmoles/mg protein; and a low affinity binding site with a Kd of 0.5 μM and a Bmax of 1 pmoles/mg protein. This binding activity was successfully solubilized with n-heptyl-β-D-thioglucoside. [3H]17α,20β-DP binding to solubilized preparations reached equilibrium in 1h, and was competitively inhibited with 17α,20β-DP and 17α,20β,21-trihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one. However, Scatchard analysis showed a single binding site with a Kd of 0.3 μM. The reason for the disappearance of the high affinity binding site in solubilized preparations remains unclear. These results demonstrate that a specific binding site for 17α,20β-DP exists in the plasma membrane of rainbow trout oocytes.
Résumé Une liaison spécifique de le [3H]17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17α,20β-DP), avec des membranes plasmiques d'ovocytes défollicularisés de truite arc-en-ciel (Onchorhynchus mykiss), a été identifiée et caractérisée. Sa cinétique est rapide et atteint son équilibre en 30 minutes. Le 17α,20β-DP inhibe fortement, et de manière compétitive, la liaison de la [3H] 17α,20β-DP. Une étude de Scatchard a mis en évidence deux sites diffŕents de liaison: un site de forte affinité, de Kd 18 nM et de Bmax 0,2 pmoles/mg de protéine; et un site de faible affinité, de Kd 0,5 μM et de Bmax 1 pmoles/mg de protéine. L'activité de liaison a été solubilisée, avec succés, par le n-heptyl-β-D-thioglucoside. Dans la fraction soluble, la liaison de le [3H]17α,20β-DP atteint un équilibre en 1h.; et elle est complétement inhibiée par la 17α,20β-DP et le 17α,20β,21-trihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one. Cependant, une étude de Scatchard ne permet de déceler qu'un seul site de liaison, de Kd 0,3 μM. La disparition du site de liaison de forte affinité dans la fraction soluble reste inexpliquée. Ces résultats démontrent l'existence d'un site spécifique de liaison du 17α,20β-DP dans les membranes plasmiques des ovocytes de truite arc-en-ciel.

Koji is commonly used in manufacturing Japanese fermented products and promotes enzymatic degradation. In recent years, a seaweed koji has been developed by culturing Aspergillus oryzae on nori Pyropia yezoensis. In the present study, we prepared nori koji by culturing A. oryzae on high- and low-quality noris and then mixing this preparation with additional dried nori. Suitable fermentation conditions for increasing the taste-active components of the nori mixed with nori koji were investigated. The mixture of nori and koji prepared from high-quality nori, with added water, cultured for 120 days at 10 °C, provided the greatest increase (7 times) in free amino acids. The changes in taste after culturing the nori and koji mixture were evaluated using a taste-sensing system. The sourness score of the nori and koji mixture increased significantly, but the scores for other attributes such as bitterness and umami richness did not increase after culture. The present study has demonstrated a clear increase in the free amino acid content of nori and a modification in the taste score by aging the culture with nori koji. These results will encourage the development of ‘aged seaweed,’ a novel value-added product with nutritional and taste elements modified using seaweed koji.

Tambaqui Colossoma macropomum is the most important Amazonian native species in South American aquaculture. Innate immunity at least partially depends on the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns by receptor-recognizing pathogens (PRRs). Some PRRs have been characterized in fishes, and several studies have focused on the role of lectins in the immune system of various fishes. Lectins are proteins that specifically recognize carbohydrates and which have important biological functions. Tambaqui serum lectin (ComaSeL), which was identified on the basis of its hemagglutinating activity, was pre-purified, biochemically characterized, and used in assays of antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria in freshwater fishes. A study of the seasonality of this lectin was performed. Comasel activity was stable at a pH between 4.0 and 9.0 and lost 100?% of its activity at 70?°C. It recognized the carbohydrates d-galactose, 1-O-methyl-d-galactopyranoside, and d-fucose, showing antibacterial activity for Gram-negative bacteria. Its activity showed significant differences between the summer and winter (p?<?0.05, Tukey test), thereby corroborating observations that tambaqui becomes more susceptible to mortality from diseases caused by bacteria and fungi during the winter. With this information, new tools may be developed for gaining a better understanding of the role of these proteins in the immune system of the tambaqui, ultimately resulting in the improved management of this fish by pisciculturists.  相似文献

A 60-days feeding trial was conducted to delineate the effect of both gelatinized and non-gelatinized corn with or without supplementation with exogenous α-amylase at two dietary protein levels (35% and 28%) on dry matter digestibility, digestive enzymes and tissue glycogen content of Labeo rohita juveniles. Three hundred and sixty juveniles (average weight 10±0.15 g] were randomly distributed into 12 treatment groups with each of two replicates. Twelve semi-purified diets containing either 35% or 28% crude protein were prepared by including gelatinized (G) or non-gelatinized (NG) corn as carbohydrate source with different level of microbial α-amylase (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg kg−1). The dry matter digestibility of G corn fed groups was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the NG corn fed groups. Hepatosomatic index (HSI), liver glycogen and intestinal amylase activity of G starch fed groups were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of the NG corn fed groups. However, the reverse trend was found for gastrosomatic index (GSI), muscle glycogen and intestinal protease activity. Addition of 50 mg α-amylase kg−1 feed improved the dry matter digestibility of NG starch fed groups, which was similar to that of the G corn fed groups or NG corn supplemented with 100/150 mg α-amylase kg−1 feed. HSI, liver glycogen and intestinal amylase activity were significantly increased (P < 0.05) at minimum level of α-amylase in the feed (50 mg kg−1) and did not increase due to further inclusion of amylase in the diet. Supplementation with α-amylase at 50 mg kg−1 increased the intestinal amylase activity beyond which no significant changes were observed. Protease activity of liver and intestine was highest (P < 0.05) in higher crude protein (CP) fed groups, but protease activity of the intestine was significantly higher in the α-amylase supplemented groups. Hence, it was concluded that feed with 28% CP containing either G corn without α-amylase or NG corn with 50 mg α-amylase kg−1 may be used as the alternative carbohydrate source for L. rohita juveniles.  相似文献

We report herein the presence of a lectin in the scleractinian coral Ctenactis (Fungia) echinata. The lectin bound preferentially to lactose, melibiose, and d-galactose. The purified lectin CecL was composed of several isolectins, and it was found to have a molecular mass of 67.4 kDa via gel filtration. Glycopeptidase F-treated CecL showed a single band at 32.5 kDa. The mass/charge ratios of the reduced CecL peaks were equivalent to half those of the native peaks. These results suggest that CecL is composed of two glycosylated polypeptides linked by interchain disulfide bonds. In a biological activity test using a zooxanthellal culture (Dinoflagellate Symbiodinium) clonally isolated from Fungia cf. fungites, CecL transformed the flagellated motile form of Symbiodinium into the nonmotile coccoid form, a form equivalent to the symbiotic stage. The activity of CecL on Symbiodinium cells was concentration dependent, and 100 μg/ml CecL arrested Symbiodinium cells in the coccoid form for 5 days. CecL also suppressed the growth of Symbiodinium cells, unlike the octocoral lectin derived from Sinularia lochmodes, which arrests Symbiodinium cells in the coccoid form but does not affect the growth of the coccoid. This result provides further evidence that coral lectins play a role in symbiont engagement and maintenance in zooxanthellae–coral symbiosis.  相似文献

Fatty-acid esters of dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) in scallops Patinopecten yessoensis, mussels Mytilus coruscus, and toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis species, collected from Japanese seawater, were analyzed by liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry (LC–MS). Precursor ion monitoring, multiple reaction monitoring for 18 fatty-acid esters of DTX1, and full-scan MS/MS spectra obtained with a hybrid triple–quadrupole linear-ion-trap mass spectrometer showed that 14:0, 16:0, and 16:1 esters were the most abundant 7-O-acyl-DTX1 analogues in bivalves. Fatty-acids esters formed by conjugations at hydroxyl positions other than the 7-position of DTX1 were not detected in the bivalves. DTX1 and okadaic acid-16:0 fatty-acid esters have been reported as the most abundant ester in bivalves in several previous studies; however, we found that 7-O-16:1-DTX1 was the most abundant ester in some mussels in which 16:1 was more dominant than 16:0 in the free fatty-acid profile. Comparison between 7-O-acyl-DTX1 and free fatty-acid profiles in the same bivalve samples suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids are selectively excluded in enzymatic acylation of DTX1. No 7-O-acyl-DTX1 was detected in any single-cell isolates of D. fortii, D. acuminata, D. mitra, D. norvegica, D. tripos, D. infundibulus, and D. rotundata.  相似文献

Olfaction is a crucial function in most fish species, but little is known about biotransformation enzymes in the olfactory organ. This study demonstrates that biotransformation enzymes usually found in the rainbow trout liver, are present in the olfactory organ as well. While microsomal cytochrome P450 reductase, p-nitrophenol hydroxylase and cytosolic glutathioneS-transferase presented similar levels in both the olfactory organ and the liver, microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufinO-deethylase (EROD), 7-ethoxycoumarinO-deethylase, and 7-pentoxyresorufinO-deethylase were much lower in the olfactory organ (77-, 35-, 200-times respectively). Furthermore, microsomes from the olfactory organ were able to perform testosterone hydroxylation only in the 16α-position while testosterone was hydroxylated in the 16β-position by liver microsomes. Using polyclonal antibodies raised against perch cytochrome P4501A1, the immunoreactive protein was shown to be strongly expressed in various cellular types forming the nonsensory epithelium. Some immunostaining was also reported in the nonsensory cellular elements constituting the sensory epithelium, while olfactory receptor cells failed to show cytochrome P4501A1-immunoreactivity. Finally, the exposure of rainbow trout to waterborne β-naphthoflavone (0.1 μg ml−1) for 2 or 4 days resulted in a higher induction of EROD activity in the olfactory organ compared to the liver. The presence of biotransformation enzymes in the olfactory organ of rainbow trout addresses the question of their involvement in the detoxication/toxication of pollutants as well as in the olfactory function.  相似文献

In a search for new antitumor drugs, we collected 334 species of marine algae from the Japanese coastline and screened these for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production-promoting activity in an in vitro assay with the mouse macrophage-derived cell line RAW264.7. A phosphate-buffered saline extract from the marine brown alga Chordaria flagelliformis was found to strongly promote TNF-α activity. Further purification of this alga by precipitation with ethanol and two-step chromatography yielded an approximately 3,000-kDa polysaccharide as the active substance, which we designated MC25. MC25 exhibited TNF-α production-promoting activity in RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and we established its temperature and pH stabilities and non-cytotoxic character. Its molecular structure is similar to that of a fucoidan in terms of composition, including glucose, fucose, xylose, and uronic acid. The molecule hydrolyzed to a size of 180–370 kDa still retained strong TNF-α production-promoting activity, suggesting that MC25 might be a promising candidate in the development of novel antitumor agents.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of a dairy‐yeast prebiotic (Grobiotic®‐A) on growth performance, body composition, antioxidant capacity and immune functions of juvenile starry flounder, Platichtahys stellatus. Three triplicates of starry flounder (average initial weight of 15.05 ± 0.04 g) were fed one of six diets formulated to supplement dairy‐yeast prebiotic at 0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6% or 2.0% respectively. Results showed that weight gain, daily feed intake, protein efficiency rate and condition factor increased significantly (P < 0.05) whereas feed conversion ratio decreased significantly with the increasing level of the dairy‐yeast prebiotic supplement. Crude lipid content in dorsal muscle and liver decreased significantly (P < 0.05). No significant differences occurred in moisture and crude protein content of dorsal muscle and liver with the increasing level of the dairy‐yeast prebiotic supplement. Compared with fish feed the basal diet, the activity of catalase and total antioxidant capability in serum and liver, as well as total superoxide dismutase in serum all significantly increased with high level of the prebiotic, while the malondialdehyde content in serum and liver decreased significantly. In serum, the activity of alkaline phosphatase, lysozyme, complement and the content of nitric oxide were significantly increased at higher level of prebiotic supplementation while no significant differences were found in total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin to globulin ratio, haemoglobin, acid phosphatase and myeloperoxidase. Based on weight gain response using the quadratic regression, combine the antioxidant and immune indices, the optimum dietary dairy‐yeast prebiotic level for juvenile starry flounder was estimated to be 1.33% under these experimental conditions.  相似文献

Vermiculated sailfin catfish (Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus, Weber, 1991), a member of the Loricariidae family and an invasive species of several inland waters around the world, possess an enormous digestive tract representing about 10% of fish weight. Thus, the aim of this study was to partially characterize proteases from their digestive tracts. Azocasein digestion of the crude extract of intestine at different pH values and temperatures revealed the presence of alkaline proteases with optimum activities at pH 9.0 and 50°C. Incubation assays of the crude extract with inhibitors such as phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride, N-α-p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone, N-tosyl-phenyalanine chloromethyl ketone, benzamidine, pepstatin A and ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid showed that trypsin and chymotrypsin are the main alkaline proteinases present. Zymography showed that the crude extract of Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus viscera contained proteases with molecular masses ranging from 21.5 to 116 kDa. Trypsin and chymotrypsin were inhibited by the following ions in decreasing order: Hg2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, Li+, Mg2+, K+, while Mn2+, and Ca2+ had no effect. Activities decreased continuously as the NaCl concentration increased from 0 to 30%. These results constitute important background information for future studies and for the potential biotechnological use of the crude digestive extract from this invasive species.  相似文献

To investigate the regulatory mechanism for the proteasome in the meiotic cell cycle, we purified the 26S proteasome from immature (in G2-phase) and mature (in M-phase) oocytes, and compared its subunits by immunoblotting. A monoclonal antibody, GC3β (anti-goldfish 20S proteasome component 3β) cross-reacted with two bands in the 26S proteasome from immature oocytes, however the upper band was absent in the 26S proteasome from mature oocytes. cDNAs which encode the α4 subunit of goldfish 20S proteasome (α4 ca ) were isolated by an immuno-screening method using GC3β. Phosphatase treatment of the 26S proteasome revealed that a part of α4 ca phosphorylated in G2-phase and dephosphorylated in M-phase. By the assay using recombinant α4 ca as a substrate, a kinase was purified by column chromatographs. Amino acid sequence analysis was performed for resulting partial purified fraction. A protein band, which well corresponded to the kinase activity, was identified as Casein kinase-1α (CK-1α). The result suggests that CK-1α phosphorylate α4 subunit of the 26S proteasome in immature oocyte of goldfish. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

The insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) cDNA (GenBank Accession No. AY247412) of triangular bream (Megalobrama terminalis) was expressed for the first time in Escherichia coli. To construct the expression plasmid, the IGF-I cDNA was subcloned into prokaryotic-expressing vector pGEX-4T-1. The E.coli JM109 was transformed with the recombinant plasmid pGEX-4T-1-IGF-I, and the transgene expression was observed after being induced with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). The results of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting indicated that the recombinant fusion protein had immune activity and the molecular weight was about 47 kDa. The results of SDS-PAGE and thin layer scanning showed that the yield of fusion protein had been enlarged with prolonging time. When the time of induced expression was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 h, the expression amount was approximately 1.4, 4.3, 8.1, 11.3, 16.3 and 18.8% of total bacterial protein respectively.  相似文献

Narezushi extract was separated into peptide and nonpeptide fractions by ion-exchange column chromatography. The narezushi extract and fractions were administered to rats in a diet enriched with lipid and cholesterol for 30 days. In the narezushi extract and nonpeptide fraction groups, increases in triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels in the plasma and accumulation of total lipids and triglyceride in the liver were suppressed, while both lipid and cholesterol fecal excretion were increased. In the peptide fraction group, these effects were also observed, except for the suppressing effect on liver lipid accumulation. Narezushi extract administration tended to increase fecal bile acids and promoted the activity of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of bile acid from cholesterol in the liver. However, the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the cholesterol synthesis system in the liver, decreased due to regulation by the feedback of lipid transportation from diet to the liver. These results suggest that both the increase in cholesterol and bile acid fecal excretion and the promotion of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase activities are related to the hypocholesterolemic effects of narezushi extract. Amino acids and organic acids, which are abundantly contained in the nonpeptide fraction, seemed to have more intensive hypocholesterolemic effects than peptides existing in the peptide fraction.  相似文献
