Milk casein is regarded as source to release potential sleep-enhancing peptides. Although various casein hydrolysates exhibited sleep-enhancing activity, the underlying reason remains unclear. This study firstly revealed the structural features of potential sleep-enhancing peptides from casein hydrolysates analyzed through peptidomics and multivariate analysis. Additionally, a random forest model and a potential Tyr-based peptide library were established, and then those peptides were quantified to facilitate rapidly-screening. Our findings indicated that YP-, YI/L, and YQ-type peptides with 4-10 amino acids contributed more to higher sleep-enhancing activity of casein hydrolysates, due to their crucial structural features and abundant numbers. Furthermore, three novel strong sleep-enhancing peptides, YQKFPQY, YPFPGPIPN, and YIPIQY were screened, and their activities were validated in vivo. Molecular docking results elucidated the importance of the YP/I/L/Q- structure at the N-terminus of casein peptides in forming crucial hydrogen bond and π-alkyl interactions with His-102 and Asn-60, respectively in the GABA receptor for activation.

Background: -secreted delta sleep inducing peptide and crossing the blood-brain barrier peptides (DSIP-CBBBP) fusion peptides holds significant promise for its potential sleep-enhancing and neurotransmitter balancing effects. This study investigates these properties using a p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) -induced insomnia model in mice, an approach akin to traditional methods evaluating sleep-promoting activities in fusion peptides.
Aim Of The Study: The research aims to elucidate the sleep-promoting mechanism of DSIP-CBBBP, exploring its impact on neurotransmitter levels and sleep regulation, and to analyze its composition and structure.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the sleep-promoting effects of black truffle protein, specifically truffle albumin (TA) and its hydrolysate (TAH), in insomnia-prone fruit flies (Drosophila).
- The research discovered that both TA and TAH significantly increased sleep duration and quality, and identified two peptides, YLDLAPL and YLRPEGDW, that enhance sleep.
- Additionally, transcriptomics analysis revealed potential mechanisms for these sleep-enhancing effects, including improved neuronal function, regulation of neurotransmitter production, and protection against oxidative stress in nerve cells.

Chronic stress is a major inducer of anxiety and insomnia. Milk casein has been studied for its stress-relieving effects. We previously prepared a casein hydrolysate (CP) rich in the sleep-enhancing peptide YPVEPF, and this study aims to systemically investigate the different protective effects of CP and casein on dysfunction and anxiety/insomnia behavior and its underlying mechanisms in chronically stressed mice.
