Protective Effects of an Octapeptide Identified from Riceberry™ () Protein Hydrolysate on Oxidative and Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress in L929 Cells.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in oxidative stress and cellular damage, underscoring the importance of identifying potent antioxidants. This research focuses on the antioxidant capabilities of Riceberry™-derived peptides and their protective effects against oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in L929 cells. By simulating human digestion, Riceberry™ protein hydrolysate was generated, from which antioxidant peptides were isolated using OFFGEL electrophoresis and LC-MS/MS.

Solanum melongena L. Extract Promotes Intestinal Tight Junction Re-Assembly via SIRT-1-Dependent Mechanisms.

Tight junction disruption can lead to pathogenesis of various diseases without therapeutic strategy to recover intestinal barrier integrity. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the effect of Solanum melongena L. extract (SMLE) on intestinal tight junction recovery and its underlying mechanism.
