Abstract
Inhibitory activity against angiotensin-converting enzyme (IAACE) by chicken skin collagen hydrolysate (CSCH) and their peptide fractions before and after in-vitro gastrointestinal digestion, were evaluated; as well as their ability to modulate lipid accumulation in 3 T3-L1 adipocytes. Before digestion, peptide fraction <1 kDa (F4) showed the highest IAACE (p < 0.05) followed by CSCH. After these samples were digested, F4 presented an IAACE with IC50 similar to its digest (DF4) (188.84 and 220.03 μg/mL, respectively), which was 2-fold lower (p < 0.05) than IC50 of fraction <1 kDa from post-digested hydrolysate (FDH) (388.57 μg/mL). Nine peptides were identified as the potential ACE inhibitors in F4 and DF4. Addition of DF4 (800 μg/mL) reduced(p < 0.05) lipid accumulation by 83% within preadipocytes. A 45–60% reduction of lipid accumulation within differentiated adipocytes was obtained by adding FDH and DF4 (regardless the concentration). These results, digested CSCH and F4 with IAACE may be considered as potential adjuvants for obesity treatment.
