Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the mechanism of novel antihypertensive peptides identified from fermented buckwheat sprouts with excellent blood pressure lowering effect in vivo, by the novel ex vivo ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitory activity measuring system using living tissue. As a result, it was demonstrated that WTFR, one of the food-derived peptides, accumulated in the tissue to a concentration near the IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration), newly generated ACE inhibitory fragment peptides (WTF,TFR,WT,FR and TF), and exerted synergistic effects with combination of the peptides, to inhibit tissue ACE effectively.
