Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a serious health threat. Soybean meal peptide (SMP) supplementation may protect against this damage; however, the potential mechanism underlying the specific sequence of SMPs is unclear. Protein-protein interaction and proteomic analyses are effective methods for studying functional ingredients in diseases.

This study aimed was to explore the hepatoprotective potential of soybean meal peptides (SPs) against alcohol-induced liver injury and investigate the underlying mechanisms through transcriptome analysis. The chemical antioxidant analysis of SPs exhibited potent ABTS radical scavenging capacity (11.94 ± 0.

Egg white peptides (EWPs) can be effectively used to alleviate and treat inflammatory diseases due to their anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and microbiota regulation capabilities. A dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model was used to clarify the regulatory effects of EWPs on colitis. Forty-three peptide sequences were identified from EWPs using LC-MS/MS.

Background: There are few studies on the autophagy and inflammatory effects of soy peptides on the inflammatory cell model. Further insight into the underlying relationship of soybean peptides and autophagy needs to be addressed. Therefore, it is worthwhile investigating the possible mechanisms of soybean peptides, especially autophagy and the inflammatory effects.
