Description

Antihypertensive functional food

Technical field

The present invention relates to the egg protein hydrolysate (hydrolysate) of biologically active, the functional food and the food supplement that prepare the method for activated protein hydrolysate and comprise these activated protein hydrolysates of appropriate amount.These functional foods, food supplement and activated protein hydrolysate as functional component all are particularly suitable for bringing high blood pressure down, and can by prophylactically with therapeutic eat.In addition, hydrolysate can be used to treatment or prevent one or more metabolic disease and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, for example metabolic syndrome with the composition that comprises these hydrolysates.

Background technology

The angiocardiopathy of global range has tremendous influence to overall health status, also affects resident's economic conditions and macroeconomy.In EU member country (European heart alliance), all there are every year 1500000 people to die from angiocardiopathy (CVD).In addition, the CVD life loss that causes of disabling is nearly 1,400,000 years, and surpassing half (more than 700,000 years) all is because apoplexy.Very strong association is arranged between the danger of blood pressure level and apoplexy and coronary heart disease, and the European of significant proportion has (slight) hypertension, special old age group even higher danger is arranged.

Hypertension coexists with a large amount of hazards usually.Angiotensins-I invertase (ACE) inhibitor not only can bring high blood pressure down, and can also forward ground influences many other the aspects in the atherogenicity background.Now verified ACE inhibitor is reducing myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure patient's cardiovascular mortality and the benefit aspect the incidence of disease.Even the slight decline of blood pressure also can influence the death rate and the incidence of disease in forward ground.Recently the dangerous analysis of essence of CVD is shown that diet should be than receiving bigger concern (European heart alliance position paper, 1998) in the past as basic, potential hazards.In this position paper, suggestion need be providing health diet to bring up to the core of CVD prevention action.

ACE goes out the terminal His-Leu of C through cracking from the angiotensin I of non-activity and has generated the Angiotensin II with blood vessel pressurization active (comprising vessel retraction).Known function through inhibition ACE can be treated hypertension.Exist a large amount of chemicalses, for example moexipril, quinapril, enalapril, lisinopril, Perindopril, Ramipril, Trandolapril and benazepil with ACE inhibitor activity in the body.These medicines usually have side effect, and the danger of excessive use is arranged.In addition, they are not suitable for preventative use usually.Therefore, need substituting, natural ACE mortifier, when the not high object of blood pressure (prophylactically) was taken in these mortifiers, they also were harmless, but they can reduce the blood pressure of the object of (slightly) blood pressure rising effectively.Preferably, take in these products as food supplement (for example form such as tablet, wafer) or as functional food (for example beverage, semisolid or solid food form).Use these food supplements or functional food to estimate to cause the number of the trouble CVD among minimizing of the cost of health care aspect (CVD expense 2%) and the EU to reduce 5% regularly.As if the average anosis life-span also can prolong at least 3 years.In addition, compare with chemicals, the production process of these products is that littler and producing cost is also still less to the influence of environment.

A large amount of antihypertensive compositions that is derived from natural origin has been described.EP1228708 has described has the newborn derived protein that reduces hypertensive activity and the purposes of peptide level branch.EP0583074 has also described has active peptide that comprises the Val-Pro-Pro that breast is derived of ACE inhibition and its fermented food.The raw material that WO01/32905 has described through lactic acid bacteria fermentation casein containing protein prepare antihypertensive peptide.US6,514,941 relate to the casein hydrolysate that is rich in the Amid.WO01/85984 has described has the purposes that ACE suppresses the lactalbumin hydrolysate of active and antihypertensive active.EP1094071 relates to the peptide as drug for hypertension that from the flesh of fish, obtains.

The purpose of this invention is to provide and have new composition and the function ingredients that ACE suppresses active and antihypertensive active in vivo.

The detailed description of invention

Be surprised to find, egg protein hydrolysate particularly ovalbumin hydrolysate has significant ACE inhibition activity in vitro detection, and in the mouse body, shows significant antihypertensive active.

Analyze (utilizing the special-purpose Homebrew (proprietary in house software) that albumen is carried out quantitative integration and classification) with silicon chip (in silico) at first and identify the target protein in the egg; It comprises that having ACE suppresses active peptide, and therefore very possible anti-hypertension in vivo.Selection strategy is to calculate the integration that surpasses the reference protein beta-casein that contains known ace inhibitory peptide.According to total quantitative integration and classification; Identify 5 kinds of target proteins; It all comprises ace inhibitory peptide, and when carrying out enzyme hydrolysis, it can give play to antihypertensive active in vivo; And after enzyme hydrolysis randomly enrichment active peptide: lipovitellin (seeing for example SEQ ID NO:1,2,7 and 8), a kind of albumen of in yolk, finding; Ovomucin (seeing for example SEQ ID NO:6 and 9), lysozyme (seeing for example SEQ ID NO:4), ovalbumin (seeing for example SEQ ID NO:8) and ovotransferrins (seeing for example SEQ ID NO:5) (all four kinds all is the albumen of in egg white, finding).

Whether and how can be used to produce hydrolysate in order to analyze egg white and/or livetin, carry out a large amount of experiments as further describing in an embodiment with remarkable ACE inhibition activity.

An embodiment of the invention have provided to be used to generate has the egg protein hydrolysate that ACE suppresses active and antihypertensive active.Method comprises step:

1. liquid solution is provided, the aqueous solution preferably, it comprises one or more target protein;

Randomly with solution be heated to about 90 ℃ about 5 to 20 minutes, preferably 15 minutes so that with albuminous degeneration and/or deactivation (possibly exist) protease inhibitors;

3. the pH value is adjusted to the pH value that the hydrolase that makes institute to use has activity, the preferably optimal pH of used hydrolase;

4. when composition has reached the hydrolysis temperature (the preferably optimum temperature of hydrolysing activity) that is suitable for used hydrolase, add the hydrolase of appropriate amount, preferably add about 2% the hydrolase (w/w) that is equivalent to that total target protein level divides;

5. incubation solution stirred at least about 3 hours simultaneously;

6. randomly add the enzyme (2%w/w) of additional amount and about 2 to 3 hours of incubation solution again, stir simultaneously;

7. randomly use for example heat treatment (for example handling 15 minutes down for 90 ℃) inactivator.

The hydrolysate that obtains with top method also is provided, and the composition that comprises this hydrolysate of appropriate amount, preferably food or food supplement composition.

Solution can be concentrated or freeze-drying (for example lyophilized) and room temperature under stored, be used for further purposes (for example external ACE suppresses to detect), be used for peptide enrichment (as follows) or further peptide purification or be used to produce the food supplement or the food of the hydrolysate that comprises effective dose.

Compare with the activity of all-hydrolytic thing, find that can cause the ACE of soluble fraction to suppress active with centrifugal removal solid constituent sometimes increases by 1.5 to 2 times.Randomly, can separate and use soluble fraction.4, centrifugal about 15 minutes perhaps equivalent conditions can be removed solid fraction under the 500g through for example.Also can be through filtering or other isolation technics removal solid fraction.For other target protein, the removal of solid fraction can cause the ACE of soluble fraction to suppress active reduction, and this is disadvantageous.For these target proteins, solid fraction is preferably remained in or adds to again in the product or be used as active food or food supplement composition (a part).

Understand that some steps in the method for hydrolysis can be modified, and do not change the character of formed hydrolysate.For example, use-case according to appointment 4 to 5 or 5 to 6 hours single enzyme incubation step can replace incubation step 5 and 6.The one skilled in the art can adopt top hydrolysis scheme to be optimized application easily.Preferably in water rather than in buffer solution, be hydrolyzed, particularly for the large-scale production that is used for people and/or animal consumption, because a large amount of salt is unwelcome.For hydrolysis, need to optimize amount, pH value, temperature and the incubation time of used enzyme usually.The instance of suitable hydrolysis scheme is provided in an embodiment.

The protein component of the liquid solution in the step 1 can be selected from one or more following albumen: the holoprotein composition of the purifying basically of the albumen of (fresh) whole egg, separation, the yolk of separation, ovum powder, egg white powder, yolk powder, ovalbumin, lysozyme, ovotransferrins, ovomucin and/or lipovitellin.The instance in suitable target protein source is that obtainable protein composition of commercialization or egg-development stage are divided for example egg white powder of composition.For example can obtain (100% pure protein) lysozyme from Belovo; Can obtain ovotransferrins from Sigma-Aldrich (81.3% pure protein) or from Belovo (89.5% albumen); Can obtain ovomucin from Belovo; Can obtain ovalbumin from Worthington (75.7% albumen) or from Interchema (70.8% albumen), can obtain yolk and can obtain egg white from NIVE (31.6% albumen) from NIVE (79.7% albumen).It is obvious that, can use other commercialization source or can from ovum or egg-development stage branch, be purified into one or more target protein with known purification process.Utilize like recombinant DNA technology known in the art and also can generate albumen for example lipovitellin, lysozyme, ovotransferrins, ovomucin and ovalbumin.For example, utilize chemical synthesis can original position synthetic or can in recombinant host cell, clone and express protein fragments or the full-length proteins of arbitrary SEQ ID NO:1-10 (or its variant).Therefore, can predict through the for example suitable edible animal or even can be with the whole egg, yolk or the egg white that are rich in one or more albumen in lipovitellin, lysozyme, ovotransferrins, ovomucin and the ovum target protein (or the variant of these albumen or its fragment) as raw material of laying eggs through transgenic animals.

" variant " of the target protein of SEQ ID NO:1-10 comprises the similar basically albumen of those albumen with SEQ ID NO:1-10, for example has to comprise the amino acid whose albumen that at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99% or 100% sequence homogeny is arranged with arbitrary sequence of SEQ ID NO:1-10.Can original position synthesize, from natural origin, separate or clone perhaps identifying these variants at silicon chip.

In an embodiment of the invention, be stale as the ovum of dietary protein origin, can store the longer time down or with form of powder room temperature for example, 4 ℃.Find that non-fresh ovum source can not influence to negativity ACE and suppress active.This is good for the hydrolysate generative process, because for example before using, do not need freezing ovum.At room temperature or to store under the temperature between about 4 ℃ and the room temperature that ovum or egg-development stage divided at least 6 weeks and do not lose activity be possible.

Perhaps, can from ovum, extract target protein, subsequently with its purifying.For example, utilize known method can isolate egg white level branch, utilize cation and anion exchange chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, affinity chromatography and additive method known in the art can be purified into special target protein.For example can be purified into ovotransferrins, and can use the heparin affinity chromatography method to separate glycoprotein with the metal chelate chromatography method.Lysozyme concentration in the egg white is than the lysozyme in other sources higher (3-4%).The method that routine is used for the lysozyme purifying is a cation exchange chromatography.Lysozyme is to combine with cation-exchanger in 9 o'clock in the pH value, and this can carry out at stirred-tank reactor or in chromatographic column.After going out adsorption particle with eluting salt, lysozyme is enough pure for food applications.In order to obtain to be applicable to the highly purified lysozyme of medicinal application, need the anion-exchange chromatography under the pH4 to carry out further purifying.The advantage of this purification process is not change raw material (egg white), and the easy large-scale application of this method for food applications, only needs an absorption process and kept biologically active.Therefore, in one embodiment, use the cation exchange chromatography Purification of Lysozyme.For being further purified of arbitrary target protein, can adopt the step of for example film ultrafiltration and diafiltration.

The enzyme that is applicable to hydrolysis can be the protease of arbitrary food-grade or the proteinase mixture in various sources in theory, and said source for example is plant, animal or microorganism for example fungi or bacterium.For example, Newlase F comprises the acid protease that is derived from snow-white head mold (Rhizopus niveus), and Promod184P comprises the protease of pineapple, and Promod258P comprises the protease (papain) of papaya and the protease and the peptase of Eurotium.Pepsin 389P comprises the animal acid protease from the pig gastric mucosa, and Alcalase comprises bacillus licheniformis (Bacillus licheniformi) proteinase mixture, and wherein main enzyme is an endoproteinase.

Find that differential protein-protease combination has discharged biologically active peptide, generated to have the hydrolysate that ACE suppresses activity.Table 1 provides the preferred enzyme that is used to prepare protolysate, and the optimum condition of said enzyme application.

In these enzymes of testing, the food-grade albumen enzyme (or proteinase mixture) below finding is specially suitable: Newlase F, Promod258P, Alcalase, PEM (protein cleavage enzymatic mixture), PTN (Pancreatic Trypsin Novo) and Protex6L.Understand can use other interior-with outer-protease (or mixture).The one skilled in the art can determine applicability through preparing described hydrolysate and being used in other local described vitro detection method test ACE inhibition activity.

Have no intention to limit scope of the present invention; But think because the enzyme that the exoproteinase activity discharges quite a high proportion of single amino acids is not too suitable, and the enzyme that discharges quite a high proportion of dipeptides and/or tripeptides (because interior-with outer-proteinase activity or only be endoprotease activity) is only.Enzyme suitably discharges and is less than about 10% free amino acid, preferably is less than about 8%, 7%, 6% or 5%.Preferably, used enzyme discharges quite a high proportion of dipeptides and/or tripeptides, for example surpasses 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% or more at least.

Therefore protolysate of the present invention preferably includes the dipeptides and/or the tripeptides of a high proportion of target protein, preferably includes at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or more.In one embodiment, therefore more long-chain and the peptide of HMW more for example have 4,5,6,7,8 or more a plurality of amino acid whose peptide preferably have only quite little amount (preferably less than 10% total target protein level branch) perhaps not exist.

Therefore the dipeptides of deriving through target protein in one embodiment, and/or the molecular weight distribution of tripeptides (and the distribution in protein fractions of peptide chain length) and/or target peptide can characterize out hydrolysate of the present invention.For example, hydrolysate can comprise at least 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99% or 100% the target peptide less than 0.5kD.Embodiment 13 has shown the correlation between molecular weight distribution, hydrolysis degree and the hydrolysate activity of target protein hydrolysate.Preferred molecular weight distribution therefore shown in embodiment 13, and comprise for example about 70:10:20,45:21:34,70:16:14,98:1:1,99:1:0,85:10:5,90:1:9,92:4:4 and 53:17:30 (expression have molecular weight the fragment of 0.5kD: 0.5 and 1.0kD between fragment: the percentage of the fragment of 1kD).Less than the fragment of 0.5kD corresponding to less than 4 to 5 amino acid whose fragments, and the fragment of about 0.5-1.0kD corresponding to 4 to 9 amino acid and the fragment that surpasses 1kD corresponding to surpassing 9 amino acid whose fragments of peptides.Therefore, arbitrary target protein for example comprises that albumen or its variant of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1-10 can be hydrolyzed the peptide that generation comprises these continuous amino acid chains.Preferably, the hydrolysis degree of target protein is about 15%, 20% at least, more preferably is 30% or higher at least.Therefore, in one embodiment, the present invention comprises the composition that comprises multiple fragment, and said fragment is selected from one or more of 2 arbitrary in SEQ ID NO:1-10 or its variant continuous amino acids, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 continuous amino acids.

Therefore the molecular weight distribution of hydrolysate can comprise that 40-70% for example is less than the peptide between 0.5 and the 1kD of the target peptide of 0.5kD and 30-50% etc.For example SDS-PAGE analyzes, HPLC analyzes, MALDI-TOF is (like Kaufmann with methods known in the art; J.Biotechn1995; 41:155-175 and Soeryapranata et al.2002; The mastrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrography that the described matrix of J.Food Sci.67:534-538 is auxiliary), HP-GPC is (like Terheggen-Lagro et al.BMC Pediatrics2002; The described high phase gel permeation chromatography of 2:10) and Edman degraded (Siemensma et al.Trends Food Sci Technology1993; The molecular weight distribution, peptide chain length that 4:16-21) can determine hydrolysate distribute and maximum peptide molecular weight, also are shown in embodiment 13.The maximum molecular peptide amount of target protein is preferably less than 10kD, more preferably less than 5kD, more preferably less than 4kD, 3kD, 2kD, 1kD, 0.5kD or less than about 0.3kD.

In a concrete embodiment, the small peptide for example ratio of dipeptides and tripeptides is able to enrichment, and the ACE of formed hydrolysate suppresses activity has in view of the above increased at least 1.5 times, 2 times, preferably increased by 3 times or more.Hydrolysate through comprising the target protein derived peptide filters the enrichment that can realize biologically active peptide through one or more molecular filters (for example ultrafiltration or nanofiltration filter); Preferably used to have molecular weight threshold, more preferably used the molecular filter from 2kD to 5kD as 0.3kD, 0.5kD, 1kD, 2kD, 3kD, 4kD, 5kD molecular filter to 10kD.This enrichment is provided amino acid length be about 2,3,4 and/or 5 weak point, low-molecular-weight peptide and ACE with reinforcement suppress active target protein hydrolysate.Preferably using dimension threshold is 2 to the enrichment of 3kD.For example, after the enrichment small peptide, the ACE that demonstrates the hydrolysate that has increased the hydrolysate that comprises the ovotransferrins peptide and comprised the lysozyme peptide suppresses active (seeing embodiment).The hydrolysate of these enrichments preferably includes antihypertensive active in the body that has improved.In addition, littler amount all is effectively for using every day, and this makes can prepare the more food supplement or the food of small size.

Also can remove the unwanted impurity that possibly exist in the hydrolysate and possibly influence the peptide activity with membrane filtration.

The present invention also relates to produce bioactive protolysate, randomly for example dipeptides and/or tripeptides of enrichment low molecular weight peptide subsequently through combination (mixture) with target protein and/or enzyme.

Perhaps, utilize chemical synthesis process can regenerate similar protolysate product combination thing of the present invention.Particularly, can generate dipeptides and three peptide libraries, form all possible combination of dipeptides and tripeptides in view of the above through combinatorial chemistry.From this combination or dipeptides and three peptide libraries, can generate and have and the mixture of said hydrolyzed thing the active substantially the same activity of blood pressure.

Below the target protein-enzyme combination ACE inhibiting value that generated the 0.5mg/ml hydrolysate be about 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 80% or higher hydrolysate (detailed content is seen embodiment).

From top table, be clearly shown that the high-caliber repeatability of the IC50 value of particular sample, the operation that the hydrolysis scheme is described, the further processed of hydrolyzation sample and ACE is suppressed to detect all is standardized and accurately.

8.2SHR body build-in test and result

In order to study the effect of hydrolysate, carried out SHR research to blood pressure.Studied the elementary effect of blood pressure and the secondary action that organ injury is taken place.SHR has the mean arterial blood pressure (MAPB) of about 190mmHg, and it exceeds normal arterial pressure far away.

Through the drinking water oral SHR mouse nursing hydrolysate of giving every day.52 mouse of hydrolysate treatment with per kilogram of body weight 1000mg every day.Tested four kinds of hydrolysates:

Hydrolysate A: lysozyme-alcalase

Hydrolysate B: ovotransferrins-newlase F

Hydrolysate C: ovomucin-alcalase

Hydrolysate D: ovalbumin-alcalase

Measure blood pressures with two kinds of methods, promptly the cuff method (measure systolic blood pressure down in anesthesia down or in anesthesia, SBP) and the remote sensing determination method, blood pressure determination value of sensoring acquisition in per 5 minutes through implantation wherein.The contrast mouse is accepted placebo.Radio remote sensing determination techniques makes arterial pressure, heart rate and physical exertion and their rhythm of the heart and them of the unrestricted animal of long-time continuous ground monitoring become possibility to replying of treatment.

8.2.1 cuff method result

The SBP of the anesthesia mouse of feeding through hydrolysate A has been reduced to 183.8mmHg at the 65th day from 201.7, blood pressure drops about 10%.Therefore, this explains that hydrolysate A is effective in vivo at least.For other three kinds of hydrolysates, test also well afoot.For the ACE inhibitory action, the ACE that has also measured in the tissue (non-blood plasma) is active.

8.2.2 remote sensing determination method

Lysozyme-alcalase and ovomucin-alcalase hydrolysate has all demonstrated significant blood pressure reduction effect in vivo.

The remote sensing of clear-headed unrestricted animal is measured

At first, SBP every day of all TM mouse is all along with the time increases to some extent, with desired the same in not treating the SHR mouse.But, 5 whens week behind begin treatment, accept hydrolysate A the TM mouse every day SBP single pattern begin to demonstrate lasting decline.Accept that the decline of SBP of TM mouse of hydrolysate A is the longest to have lasted till 7 weeks behind the begin treatment that it becomes stable afterwards.After 8 weeks of treatment, the SBP of the remote sensing mouse of treating through hydrolysate A continues to have reduced nearly 10%.

8.2.3 the acute treatment effect of lysozyme/alcalase in anesthesia SHR

This research is used to set up blood pressure and the Plasma ACE active effect of lysozyme/alcalase acute oral treatment to the anesthesia mouse.

Method

Rat: SHR mouse (382-440g) is through Harlan, and Horst, The Netherlands be available from Harlan, Oxon, United Kingdom.

Stable breeding: mouse by stable breeding in groups in the center Animal Lab. (UMCG Groningen), and allows that it conformed for 1 week.

Operation: testing the same day, with mouse anesthesia, row arteria carotis is put pipe so that measure blood pressure.In addition, going jugular vein puts pipe so that allow that getting blood carries out that Plasma ACE is active to be detected.

Scheme: when time point t=0, utilize the mode of stomach tube administered through oral nasal feeding to give the mouse study drug-administration.Before the t=0 nasal feeding at once and after t=0.5, t=1, t=2, t=3, t=4, t=5 and t=6 the time blood sampling.All note blood pressure (per 10 minutes mean value) in whole 6 hours research phase.

Research medicine: use lysozyme/alcalase or lysozyme (be 1000mg/kg all, be dissolved in the 1ml drinking water) or application of water only to mouse at random.

The result:

Blood pressure: the research medicine is calculated as the baseline blood pressure percentage change in the single mouse body to the effect of blood pressure.Lysozyme/the alcalase of Orally administered single dosage (hydrolysate A) has caused the significant and temporary transient decline of systolic blood pressure (SBP).The maximum of SBP descends and has reached nearly 35%, and it reached after using lysozyme/alcalase in 1.5-2 hour, and kept blood pressure again and reduced nearly 2 hours.Afterwards, after beginning nearly t=4 hour, SBP began to raise once more, when terminal point t=6 hour of research phase, has reached 20% decline.Using lysozyme (contrast) afterwards, seen closely similar pattern, but the maximum of SBP descends littler (nearly 15%).We have also studied the effect of application of water in these experiments, and after application of water, SBP also descends to some extent, only use lysozyme (promptly reply and be positioned between the two) but maximum descends less than lysozyme/alcalase and slightly is higher than.But the SBP changing pattern that application of water obtained obviously is different from the above two, and is more of short duration specifically, and after 3 hours, SBP has returned to baseline values (promptly 100%) fully in application of water 2.Maybe the better contrast of lysozyme/alcalase than water only with lysozyme.

Plasma ACE is active: the pattern that lysozyme/alcalase (hydrolysate A) and lysozyme (contrast) the Plasma ACE activity pattern afterwards of using is in close proximity in SBP to be seen.Promptly when using t=2 behind lysozyme/alcalase to t=3, it is nearly 30% that the active maximum of Plasma ACE has reduced, and it begins to raise once more afterwards, in the time of t=6 hour, has reached nearly 95% of baseline value.On the contrary, the active largest inhibition of using behind the lysozyme of Plasma ACE is approximately 10%.

Top discovery has clearly confirmed the ability of lysozyme/alcalase to the acute blood pressure reduction of anesthesia SHR mouse; The active synchronous reduction of Plasma ACE explains that this blood pressure reduction effect is because of the inhibition to RAS.Because the number of the mouse that this research institute comprises is quite few, and we hope preferably this effect of checking in clear-headed animal, and we utilize the TM determination method to design the 3rd experimental study (therefore, the TM method can not resemble the very anxiety of clear-headed animal that makes of TC).

8.2.4 the acute treatment effect of lysozyme/alcalase in clear-headed SHR

Carry out this research and treat blood pressure and the active effect of Plasma ACE clear-headed SHR to set up with the acute oral of lysozyme/alcalase.

Method

Rat: SHR mouse (388-515g) is through Harlan, and Horst, The Netherlands be available from Harlan, Oxon, United Kingdom, and be housed in groups the center Animal Lab. (UMCG, Groningen).

Radio remote sensing determination method: the SHR mouse (8) undergo surgery, with the pre ure tra ducer device (TM) of settling remote sensing mensuration and the permanent catheter that is used to get blood.TM is implanted in the arteria coeliaca, and far-end arrives the left side arteria renalis.Permanent catheter is implanted in the jugular vein, and its other end arrives the head of mouse through hypodermic tunnel, and is fixed in wherein.Then, single stable breeding mouse, and allow and recovered for 2 weeks, begin to collect radio remote sensing determination data afterwards, and last till the whole research phase.

Scheme: mouse is assigned with acceptance treatment plan at random then: the lysozyme/alcalase (LHA) of the single dose of three different times of 3 different tests days, lysozyme (L) or water (H2O), during at interval (flushing/contrast) in 2 to 3 days.Lysozyme/alcalase and lysozyme (every kind all is 1000mg/kg) are dissolved in the water, and through stomach tube Orally administered (cumulative volume is nearly 1ml solution); Use 1ml water only for the contrast mouse.All between 9 o'clock to the 10 o'clock morning of testing day, carry out nasal feeding always.

Get blood: on the same day of oral medication, before the nasal feeding nearly 0.5 to 1.0 hours, permanent catheter is connected with extension tube attached, get blood to allow, and handle mouse no longer further.(t=0) at once before nasal feeding and the t=0.5 after it, take out blood sample 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 hour the time.Subsequently, with blood sample at 4 ℃, under the 1600g centrifugal 10 minutes, with its quick-frozen and be stored under-80 ℃ up to detection.

Plasma ACE is active: the ACE with the Hip-His-Leu method is determined in the blood plasma tissue is active, foregoing that kind.Briefly, with plasma sample and ACE substrate Hippury-His-Leu (12.5nM) incubation 10 minutes just in time under 37 ℃.Through adding the conversion of 280mM NaOH termination substrate.After this, the His-Leu that adds 100 μ l phtaldialdehyde marked frees.Respectively excitation wavelength and emission wavelength be 364 with the condition of 486nm under, determine the amount of the His-Leu fluorescence of institute's mark.Comprise control sample, wherein before adding substrate Hippuryl-His-Leu, added NaOH to stop the conversion of substrate.

Analysis to blood pressure data: the relevant time period is generally thought to test the nasal feeding of day and was arrived afterwards 10 hours in preceding 1 hour, promptly from 8 o'clock to 19 o'clock.Every mouse has all obtained these time periods of 3 tests day, utilizes the data computation of all mouse to go out the mean value of certain specific therapy then.Every mouse also obtained before the test day and between the data of identical time period of 6 non-tests (contrast) days, draw the mean value of all mouse then.

The result

Compare with H2O, in 1 hour, just observed LHA and reduced the phenomenon of SBP, and kept this reduction at least 4 hours.Also observed the phenomenon of L reduction SBP, although this has postponed 1 hour than LHA.This possibly be the result to the natural digestion process of L, and the quite high dosage of this requirement, but the LHA of this illustrative less amount is the same with it effective.

8.2.4.1 ovomucin/alcalase is to the acute treatment effect of clear-headed SHR

Method

Rat: the mouse that the remote sensing above using among the 8.2.4 is measured, except natural death during the mouse.In test day, with or without ovomucin/alcalase hydrolysate (1000mg/kg) treatment mouse (n=7), said hydrolysate mixes with 3ml G/W (10%), and (nearly 10 points) are it with flat disc and pass mouse (30 minutes) in the morning; In contrast day, treatment includes only G/W, and between contrast treatment and the active treatment is 2 days at interval.

The analysis of blood pressure data: the relevant time period is generally thought to test the nasal feeding of day and was arrived afterwards 8 hours in preceding 1 hour, promptly from 8 o'clock to 17 o'clock.Every mouse has all obtained these time periods of 2 test days, utilizes the data computation of all mouse to go out the mean value of ovomucin treatment or contrast treatment then.Every mouse also obtained before the test day and between the data of identical time period of 4 non-tests (contrast) days, draw the mean value of all mouse then.

The result

The blood pressure data that a SHR mouse is arranged is extremely low, in further analyzing, has got rid of these data.In test day, most mouse have all eaten the 3ml G/W in 10 minutes.Drink all increasing of G/W with systolic blood pressure; Be this with research in the above in the viewed similar phenomena through stomach tube picked-up back, although the degree (being similar to 25mmHg) that the degree that the SBP after glucose is taken in increases (approximate 10mmHg) increases than the SBP after the oral absorption of stomach tube is lower.To this, when not treating, Japan and China do not observe this effect in contrast.Compare with the contrast treatment that only gives G/W, the active treatment that contains the G/W of ovomucin/alcalase hydrolysate has caused descending faster and more significantly of SBP.Ovomucin/alcalase hydrolysate obtained maximum decline (near 15mmHg) in back 1 hour in absorption, therefore, this with research in the above in clear-headed mouse in the viewed time period closely similar.

Embodiment 9: through membrane filtration enrichment hydrolysate

Whether can realize the enrichment of little peptide and the ACE that this caused are suppressed active increase in order to study, with the ovalbumin (ovotransferrins and lysozyme) of membrane filtration (utilizing the Polyethersulfon milipore filter of bore) two kinds of hydrolysis of classification for 2kD and 10kD.

In the Amicon determination unit, the polyethersulfon milipore filter is used as flat film.Volume is that the 5% protolysate solution of 15ml has been condensed to 5ml (15%), and adds 5ml water.Once more solution concentration is become 5ml (washing step).Repeated washing step 2 time again.Merge the penetrating fluid of inceptive filtering and the penetrating fluid of washing step, and freeze-drying.The penetrating fluid of freeze-drying is stored in 4 ℃, and tests its ACE and suppress active.

Following this test of setting:

-two kinds of hydrolysate: ovotransferrins/promod258 and lysozyme/alcalase

-two kinds of films: a kind of bore is 2kD, and alternative bore is 10kD

-after classification, need not or with the various samples of external digestion simulation process (raw material, penetrating fluid and residue), wherein with the time varying length of pepsin incubation (simulated gastric in hydrolysis), between 0 to 120 minute.

-carry out the pepsin incubation for 2,37 ℃ in the pH value.

-6.5,37 ℃ of pH values down with the incubation of trypsase/α chymotrypsin 2.5 hours.

After the freeze-drying sample, determine IC50 (mg/ml) value of branches at different levels:

Divide relatively with the raw material level, the ACE that the penetrating fluid level is divided suppresses active maximum has increased by 2 times.For ovotransferrins, observed this increase with the 10kD film, and be to use the 2kD film for lysozyme.

This embodiment shows can use membrane filtration enriched biological active peptide, and increases the ACE inhibition activity of hydrolysate.Can through enrichment be reduced to the realization effect essential rule (for example every day) use the amount of the material of consumption, and be integrated into easily in food supplement and the functional food because the minimizing of volume makes.

Embodiment 10: the storage time of ovum and temperature suppress active effect to ACE

For 3% lysozyme (100ml) solution, need approximate 500 μ l1M NaOH solution that the pH value was set at for 8 (the 3g lysozyme needs 500 μ l1M NaOH=0.02g NaOH).After adding enzyme, still need add NaOH is 8 to keep the pH value, therefore in end-product, can have minor N aOH.

The human research

Obtained the final permission of the METc (the Medical Ethics committee) of University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) to the research of functional food in human body.

Volunteer (n=5) has accepted to contain the lysozyme/alcalase of single dose or the beverage of suitable placebo two different test days.Before absorption, measured blood pressure at once and afterwards the latest by 6 hours.In addition, before absorption at once and the specific time point after absorption get blood, carry out the ACE activity analysis.

Drink formula:

-20g hydrolysate

-40g Karvan Cevitan " red grape fruit "

-60g water

90 ℃ of following Bath Teng methods were sterilized 20 minutes.

Siliker (Ede) microbiologic analysis is OK.

The composition of the red grape fruit of Karvan Cevitan: 60% undyed fruit; The vitamin of 4 kinds of interpolations; 60% concentration of juices agent (red grape fruit, elder berry, cynarrhodion), wherein 54% is red grape fruit; Other component comprises sugar, glucose-fructose juice, food acid (citric acid), spices, vitamin, anticorrisive agent (potassium sorbate).

Control beverage: the same, but do not have hydrolysate.

The result

Test comprises 5 people that accept hydrolysate.After 2 weeks, 3 conducts in 5 contrast.With the mean blood pressure of having examined in 6 hours time periods.Compare with contrast, it is about 5 to 6% that blood pressure on average descends, and demonstrated the obvious effect of hydrolysate.Within 1 hour behind the edible hydrolysate, also observe effect, and after 1.5 hours, reached maximum effect.Decline when the mean blood pressure when 3h and 6h (last time point of being measured) descends with 1.5h is suitable.Reach the peak value reduction in 1 hour that active research is presented at behind the edible hydrolysate to the average blood plasma ACE of hydrolysate, and after 3 hours, returned to base level.

The human research is still underway.
