Egg proteins are recognized as excellent sources of bioactive peptides, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEi) peptides. Oral administration of a thermolysin-digested egg white hydrolysate (T-EWH) caused a significant blood pressure reduction in spontaneously hypertensive rats; a further ACEi assay implied that its ACEi activity was enhanced after in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion. These results indicated that T-EWH contained ACEi peptides resisting GI digestion and/or being further released during GI digestion. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify these responsible ACEi peptides from T-EWH. The conventionally activity-guided fractionation was applied, coupled with a synchronized GI digestion throughout, during which both peptide yield and ACEi activity before and after the GI digestion were measured. Finally, six ACEi peptides (LAPYK, LKISQ, LKYAT, INKVVR, LFLIKH, and LGHWVY) with good GI resistance were identified with IC values <20 μM, especially LKYAT (0.09 μM). The structure-activity relationship of these peptides was discussed. The discovery of GI-resistant ACEi peptides could further support the application of egg white proteins as functional food ingredients.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

Background: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be far greater than that in the general population. Adropin regulates endothelial function and may play a role in the pathogenesis of CVD. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) treatment was reported to have a protective effect on both renal and cardiovascular function.

The hypertension patient population has doubled since 1990, affecting 1.3 billion globally and >75% live in low-and middle-income countries. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) are the most prescribed drugs (>160 million times in the US), but mortality increased >30% since 1990s globally.

Methods And Results: This was a pre-specified analysis of Prospective comparison of ARNI with ARB Given following stabiLization In DEcompensated HFpEF (PARAGLIDE-HF), a double-blind, randomized controlled trial of Sac/Val versus valsartan, categorizing patients according to baseline ACEi/ARB status. The primary endpoint was time-averaged proportional change in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) from baseline through weeks 4 and 8.

Soybean peptide (SP) exhibits significant angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEI) activity, however, its strong bitterness restricts its use in food industry. This study aimed to reduce the bitterness of SP by natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES)-driven Maillard reaction (MR). Results showed that both the mixtures of Glucose-NADES and the Glucose-Xylose-NADES formed the hydrogen bonds and shown good thermal stability analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
