Oxidative stress is an automatic mechanism responsible for the commencement and continuance of liver injury. In this study, an antioxidative peptide Val-Thr-Ala-Leu (VTAL) was purified from simulated gastrointestinal digestion of protein hydrolysates of the triploid oyster Magallana gigas. Significant antioxidant activity was identified, as well as a protective effect against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced human liver cancer (HepG2) cells. The results suggested that the antioxidant activity improved in a dose-dependent manner. The highest cell viability (88.105?±?3.62%) was observed in 15 mM APAP-induced cells when treated with 25 μg/mL M. gigas peptide [M.g (pep)]. The peptide sequences include hydrophobic amino acids, which could be responsible for its chemoprotective and antioxidant activities. Treatment with M.g (pep) significantly promoted the proliferation of HepG2 cells, thus protecting them against APAP and imbuing them with significant antioxidant capacity. M.g (pep) could be beneficial for treating drug-induced oxidative stress and liver damage. Additionally, M.g (pep) could serve as an alternative to synthetic antioxidant drugs.

We evaluated the effects of diets incorporating the red algae Pyropia yezoensis, prepared by several different extraction methods, on the growth of juvenile Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. We assessed growth performance, as well as the levels of amino acids, fatty acids, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and interleukins (ILs). Four experimental diets were developed based on different methods of processing P. yezoensis. A commercial feed, laver powder (P), high-pressure heat extraction of laver (HPHE) and acid hydrolysis extraction of laver were used as the experimental diets. Three experimental replicates were established for each diet (40 fish/group, body weight 123.7 ± 1.1 g), and the fish were fed for 6 weeks. We found no significant differences in weight gain, specific growth rate or feeding efficiency among the groups (P > 0.05); however, the fish fed HPHE had the greatest growth performance. Fish fed the laver extracts exhibited the highest protein efficiency ratio compared with the control and P groups. The experimental groups fed P. yezoensis extracts had significantly higher levels of IGF-I (P < 0.05) than those of the control group. High levels of IL-2 were found in the P and HPHE groups, IL-12 in the HPHE group, and IL-6 in all experimental groups. Therefore, these results suggest that a P. yezoensis extract improved the growth performance and immunity of Japanese flounder. In particular, the high-pressure heating process was a useful extraction method for preparing a P. yezoensis extract, which had beneficial effects as a dietary supplement in Japanese flounder. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the protective effects of porphyra-334 against UVA-irradiated cellular damage and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. Porphyra-334 prevented UVA-induced cell death and exhibited scavenging activities against intracellular oxidative stress induced by UVA irradiation in skin fibroblasts. We found that porphyra-334 significantly reduced the secretion and expression of IL-6 and TNF-α, reduced nuclear expression of Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and sustained NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation. Further mechanism research revealed that porphyra-334 promoted the Nrf2 signaling pathway in UVA-irradiated skin fibroblasts. Our results show that the antioxidant effect of porphyra-334 is due to the direct scavenging of oxidative stress and its inhibitory effects on NF-κB-dependent inflammatory genes, such as IL-6 and TNF-κ. Therefore, we hypothesize that boosting the Nrf2- NF-κB-dependent response to counteract environmental stress is a promising strategy for the prevention of UVA-related damage. 相似文献
