In this study, we investigated the protective effects of low-molecular-weight fish collagen from tilapia against melanogenesis in melanocytes, ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated Hs27 skin fibroblasts, and hairless mice. We observed collagen production-related pathways in UVB-irradiated Hs27 skin fibroblasts and hairless mice, and the melanogenesis-related pathways in melanocyte and UVB-irradiated hairless mice. The collagen production-related pathways were activated in the UVB-irradiated Hs27 skin fibroblasts and hairless mice. In addition, UVB exposure stimulated the melanogenesis-related pathways in melanocytes and hairless mice. However, treatment with low-molecular-weight fish collagen significantly increased the messenger RNA expressions of collagen production-related factors and significantly decreased the production of cytokines. Furthermore, treatment with low-molecular-weight fish collagen suppressed melanogenesis by inhibiting glutathione synthesis and downregulating melanocyte-inducing transcription factor expression through the suppression of cyclic AMP/protein kinase A/cAMP-responsive binding protein signaling and nitric oxide production. Low-molecular-weight fish collagen exerts protective effects against UVB-induced photoaging, through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-melanogenesis activities and could be used for developing effective natural anti-photoaging products.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution and high suspended sediment (SS) contents are significant anthropogenic and natural stressors that threaten aquatic biodiversity. However, the characteristics of multitrophic biological communities and their co-occurrence patterns in response to PAHs in sediment-laden rivers remain unclear. This study investigated the spatial distribution of species across three trophic levels, including algae, metazoan, and fish, in the Beiluo River on the Loess Plateau, China, using environmental DNA metabarcoding.

Collagen peptides play a crucial role in promoting skin elasticity and enhancing joint health, with potential functions to be explored. Enzyme hydrolysis is crucial for the molecular weight and sequence of peptides, influencing the bio-activity. In this study, the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and fibroblast proliferation activity of differentially molecular weight peptides derived from dual- or triple-enzyme hydrolysis were compared.

Article Synopsis
- Chitosan and alginate are safe, biodegradable materials that stabilize biotherapeutics by encapsulating them in nanocarriers.
- The study focused on a peptide from stone fish that showed 94.43% ACE-inhibitory activity, which was successfully loaded into nanoparticles made from alginate and chitosan.
- The optimized nanoparticles demonstrated effective size, stability, and a significant blood pressure-lowering effect in hypertensive rats, indicating their potential for use in pharmaceuticals and food industries.

Two potent antioxidants, selenoneine and ergothioneine, have been determined simultaneously for the first time in the muscle of highly consumed fish and in fish-derived products. The extraction methods were optimized, and their subsequent analysis was performed by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Best extraction efficiency (106 ± 3 and 104 ± 5%) was attained by performing a simple aqueous extraction containing 100 mmol L ammonium acetate or ammonium formate as extractants.
