Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that the F-2 fractions of protein hydrolysate displayed significant hypolipidemic activity, particularly the peptides from the salt immersion stress method (SISM) that effectively inhibited cholesterol micelle solubility.
- * Five novel peptides were identified with strong in vitro and in vivo hypolipidemic effects, suggesting that P. brevitarsis has potential for development as a functional food ingredient to manage lipid levels.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares two methods for emptying the intestines of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae to extract bioactive compounds.
- It finds that the traditional static method (TSM) with a water-ethanol solvent yields higher total flavonoids and better antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities than the salt immersion stress method (SISM).
- The research suggests that using specific pretreatment methods can enhance the extraction of valuable bioactive compounds, making them more useful for potential applications.
Polymorphisms of the ICAM-1 exon 6 (E469K) are associated with differentiation of colorectal cancer.

Background: Genetic factors are thought to play a role in development for colorectal carcinogenesis. ICAM-1 is a polymorphic gene, thus, the present study investigated the relationship between the polymorphisms of ICAM-1 and the susceptibility and phenotypical characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: The polymorphisms at ICAM-1 exon 4 (G241R) and exon 6 (E469K) were detected by PCR with sequence-specific primers.
