Epidemiological surveys and preliminary intervention studies have shown that postprandial hyperglycemia is a direct and independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes (1–4). Moreover, it has been reported that postprandial spikes in blood glucose concentration are even more relevant to the onset of cardiovascular complications than merely elevated fasti...

Protein hydrolysate-containing parenteral solutions have been reported to be hepatotoxic. Ten infants who were treated with a 20 percent glucose solution containing either 2.5 percent or 3.25 percent protein hydrolysate are reviewed. Their gestational ages were 30 to 40 weeks and births weights 1000 to 35000 g. Serum glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GP...

Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases in humans. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in regulating blood pressure and hypertension. An evaluation was done on the effect of Alcalase hydrolysis of defatted Jatropha curcas kernel meal on ACE inhibitory activity in the resulting hydrolysate and its purified fractions. Alcalase exhibited broad specificit...

Synthetic angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE-I) inhibitors can have undesirable side effects, while natural inhibitors have no side effects and are potential nutraceuticals. A protein-rich fraction from chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed was hydrolyzed with an Alcalase-Flavourzyme sequential system and the hydrolysate ultrafiltered through four molecular weight cut-off membranes (1 kDa, 3 kDa, 5...

Biobased sprayable mulch (BSM) films are a potential alternative to herbicides, polyethylene plastic film, and hand weeding for specialty crops. We developed series of BSM using locally available biomaterials [including corn ( Zea mays ) starch, glycerol, keratin hydrolysate, gluten meal, zein, eggshells, isolated soy Glycine max protein] tested their effects on weeds crop yield during total se...

Abstract Mackerel (Rastrelliger sp.) is a widely distributed epipelagic species in South East Asia. has high amount nutrient such as protein (20.83 %) and fat (1.03 %). The of low will allow it to be used material produce good hydrolysate. aim this study determine the optimal enzymatic hydrolysis conditions (time, temperature, pH) using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Protein Hydrolysate (M...

A specific protein (antigen) given orally is a known method of introducing tolerance of immunological response to this antigen. This method has recently been reviewed by some authors as a possible tool in the treatment of autoaggressive diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. The experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) respected animal model for MS was used for the study. The aim of the stu...

A 10-day-old male neonate was admitted with bilious vomiting and gross hematochezia. Peripheral eosinophilia, delayed positive skin prick test to artificial milk, and elevated eosinophil cationic protein levels suggested cow's milk allergy. Fluid infusion with prohibition of oral intake improved the digestive symptoms. Breast-feeding was resumed on hospital day 3 and only casein hydrolysate for...

We compare the effects of a moderate hypocaloric, high-protein diet and resistance training, using two different protein supplements, versus hypocaloric diet alone on body compositional changes in overweight police officers. A randomized, prospective 12-week study was performed comparing the changes in body composition produced by three different treatment modalities in three study groups. One ...

We have previously reported that acetone solutions containing certain organic acids form systems composed of amino acid-acetone-sulfonic acid (or alkyl acid phosphate) (1, 2), and have shown that by means of such systems amino acid mixtures may be fractionated in a non-aqueous medium. We here describe a method for the preparation of lysine monohydrochloride from an acid hydrolysate of casein, b...
