Identification and target of action of cholecystokinin-releasing peptides from simulated digestion hydrolysate of wheat protein.

Background: Wheat protein intake leads to improved appetite control. However, the active components causing appetite in wheat have not been fully clarified. Gut cholecystokinin (CCK) plays a vital role in appetite control.

gastrointestinal digestion of buckwheat ( Moench) protein: release and structural characteristics of novel bioactive peptides stimulating gut cholecystokinin secretion.

Satiety hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) plays a vital role in appetite inhibition. Its secretion is regulated by dietary components. The search for bioactive compounds that stimulate CCK secretion is currently an active area of research.

Shape controlled synthesis and photoluminescence properties of Eu3+-doped REVO4 nanophosphors.

Eu3+-doped REVO4 nanphosphors were controllably synthesized by an EDTA-mediated hydrothermal method at 180 degrees C using RE(NO3)3 and Na3VO4 as precursors. The obtained products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The XRD results showed that the products were pure tetragonal structure and no other impurity phase appeared.
