Osteoporosis is a systemic, progressive bone disease that causes metabolic disorders. Previous study identified the preventive effects of hydrolyzed egg yolk peptide (YPEP) on osteoporosis. However, the underlying antiosteoporosis mechanism remains unclear. Herein, 30 female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 6), including the sham, OVX, E2 (25 μg/kg/d 17β-estradiol), LYPEP (10 mg/kg/d YPEP), and HYPEP (40 mg/kg/d YPEP) groups. YPEP treatment significantly changed bone turnover marker levels and prevented the deterioration of bone structure and strength caused by ovariectomy. YPEP supplementation significantly changed endogenous metabolites related to lipid metabolism in the serum of ovariectomized rats, identifying 46 metabolites closely linked to bone biomarkers. Additionally, YPEP reduced the expression of the lipid metabolism-related protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPARγ and increased the expression of bone formation proteins BMP2 and RUNX2. Collectively, these results elucidated that YPEP improves osteoporosis by inhibiting lipogenesis to promote bone formation. This study provides novel evidence for the use of YPEP in treating osteoporosis.

Objectives: Natural killer (NK) cells are important immune system effector cells providing innate defenses against intracellular infections, including viral infections, immune surveillance, and cancer immunoediting. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether modified ultra-filtrated colostrum (UC) and hydrolyzed whey (W) products or their combinations with other natural products with reported immunomodulatory properties will stimulate NK cell cytotoxic activity by activation of granzyme B and IFN-γ production.
Methods: The ability of study products to stimulate the cytotoxic activity of human-purified CD56 NK cells and the production of granzyme B and IFN-γ by activated NK cells was evaluated in the cytotoxic assay.

This study aims to clarify the difference between phospholipase A1 (PLA1) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in terms of hydrolyzing egg yolk (EY). The results indicated that the disintegration of the lipoprotein micelle structure after phospholipase hydrolysis induced an enhanced solubility of proteins. The solubility after PLA1 and PLA2 treatment (91.

Ready-to-drink protein beverages have gained attention in the functional beverage market. This study examined the possibility of using ovalbumin and its hydrolysates to develop functional protein beverages. Lyophilized ovalbumin (5%, w/v) was dissolved in distilled water (pH 10) with sugar, salt, and vanilla and pasteurized at 56.

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP) is a key membrane lipid regulating various ion channel activities. Currently, several molecular tools are used to modulate PIP levels, each of which has distinct advantages and drawbacks. In this study, we proposed a novel methodology using heterologous Xenopus oocytes to precisely manipulate PIP levels using phospholipase C (PLC)-ζ, which hydrolyzes PIP.
