Abstract.: Trypsin-treated β-lactoglobulin significantly decreased the glucose level after an oral glucose tolerance test using mice. We performed the present study to identify the active peptide inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 from trypsin-treated β-lactoglobulin. Trypsin-treated β-lactoglobulin showed a concentration-dependent inhibition for dipeptidyl peptidase-4, with an IC50 value of 210 μM, although non-treated β-lactoglobulin showed no significant effect in the in vitro assay. The active peptide was isolated from trypsin-treated β-lactoglobulin and identified as the hexapeptide Val-Ala-Gly-Thr-Trp-Tyr (β-lactoglobulin f15-20). This hexapeptide also exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect and IC50 value was 174 μM, suggesting that this hexapeptide is almost totally responsible for the DPP-4 inhibitory activity of trypsin-treated β-lactoglobulin. Keywords:: DPP-4 inhibitor, β-lactoglobulin, Val-Ala-Gly-Thr-Trp-Tyr |
