Effects of a casein hydrolysate prepared from Aspergillus oryzae protease on adjuvant arthritis in rats.

چکیده
We evaluated the effects of a casein hydrolysate (CH) prepared from Aspergillus oryzae protease on rat adjuvant arthritis, a model of human rheumatoid arthritis. CH was administered orally once a day to the animals for 22 d after the adjuvant injection. CH suppressed swelling in the adjuvant-uninjected hind paws, and a higher dose of CH suppressed the increase in arthritic score and swelling of the adjuvant-injected hind paws. A histopathological examination revealed evidence that the higher dose of CH suppressed the articular changes in the rats. In addition, CH suppressed the production of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E(2) in the plasma of the rats. These results suggest that CH had a suppressive effect on adjuvant arthritis by inhibiting the acute and chronic inflammatory reactions.

Functional properties and antioxidative activity of a protein hydrolysate prepared from Acanthogobius hasta processing by-product protein during solid-state fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae were investigated. Overall, protease activity increased with the degree of hydrolysis (DH) decreased during solid-state fermentation. All the protein hydrolysate had excellent solubility, possessed inter...

Oyster extract was prepared by hydrolysis of oyster protein with proteases, Aloase (a protease from Bacillus subtilis), and Pancitase (a protease from Aspergillus oryzae). Rats were fed a diet containing 20% casein (the control diet) or 15% casein and 5% oyster extract (the oyster extract diet) as the protein source. The oyster extract diet exerted a significant reduction in serum cholesterol a...

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints as well as other organs in the body. Adjuvant-induced arthritis models in inbred rats serve as relevant models for RA, having many clinical similarities to this disease. Using honey bee venom as a treatment for Rheumatoid arthritis is an ancient therapy in various parts of the world. However scorpion ve...

We describe a clinical trial to study the efficacy of a casein hydrolysate, prepared using an Aspergillus oryzae protease, containing the major angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) in a single-blind, placebo-controlled study. A total of 131 volunteers with high-normal blood pressure and mild hypertension were randomly divided into four grou...

Honey bee sting is used in some societies as a treatment of inflammation in joint diseases such as arthritis. To investigate the effect of honey bee venom in reducing inflammation, we selected 30 male Wister rats which were divided in to 6 groups. Except group 1, all remaining groups received 0.5 ml of complete Freund’s adjuvant to induce arthritis. After 9 days, all animals that received adj...
