Water-soluble protein from walleye pollock () suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation by attenuating TLR4-MyD88 expression in macrophages.

Water-soluble protein (WSP) from fish meat is abundant in the waste effluent generated via the surimi manufacturing process. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of fish WSP using primary macrophages (MΦ) and animal ingestion. MΦ were treated with digested-WSP (d-WSP, 500 µg/mL) with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.
