Enterostatin (VPDPR) and its peptide fragment DPR reduce serum cholesterol levels after oral administration in mice.

چکیده
We found that enterostatin (VPDPR), an anorexigenic peptide for a high-fat diet, significantly reduces serum cholesterol levels after oral administration of 100 mg/kg for 3 days in mice fed a high cholesterol-cholic acid diet. DPR, a peptide fragment of VPDPR, also had hypocholesterolemic activity at a dose of 50 mg/kg. Food intake was not suppressed under these dietary conditions. Fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acids was increased significantly by both VPDPR and DPR. Interestingly, DPR induced hypocholesterolemic effects just two hours after a single oral administration at a dose of 100 mg/kg.

Enterostatins [Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-Arg (VPDPR), Val-Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg (VPGPR), and Ala-Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg (APGPR)] are pentapeptides derived from the NH2-terminus of procolipase after tryptic cleavage and belong to the family of gut-brain peptides. Although enterostatin-like immunoreactivities exist in blood, brain, and gut, and exogenous enterostatins decrease fat appetite and insulin secretion in rats...
متن کاملEnterostatin deficiency increases serum cholesterol but does not influence growth and food intake in mice.
A pentapeptide released from procolipase, enterostatin, selectively attenuates dietary fat intake when administered peripherally or centrally. Enterostatin may act through the afferent vagus nerve and in the hypothalamus and amygdala, primarily in the central nucleus of the amygdala. To investigate the physiological role of endogenous enterostatin, we created an enterostatin-deficient, colipase...

Background & Objective: Dyslipidemia increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients. Lipoprotein a, as a cholesterol carrier and competitive inhibitor of plasminogen in the blood coagulation system is considered an atherogenic factor which increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis in diabetic individuals. Based on previous studies, Barberry is thought to lo...

Elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride is well established as a risk factor development of arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. A number of clinical studies have shown that reducing elevated levels of serum cholesterol and triglyceride, by drugs or dietary intervention, could lead to reduction in the incidence of coronary-related deaths. The search for new drug with the potential t...
