In this study, the whey protein of fresh mare's milk was used as raw material. The antioxidant peptide liquid XMNDT was extracted from fresh mare's milk solution and purified. The peptide had a molecular weight of 1594.89 kDa and was mainly composed of VAPFPQPVVPYPQR. Antioxidant peptide XMNDT could inhibit the proliferation of A549 lung cancer cells in the G1 phase, accelerate cell apoptosis, increase the activity of SOD and the amount of GSH, and reduce the secretion of MDA. It also exhibited certain antioxidant capacity and free radical scavenging. These data can provide a basis for research on new antioxidant properties by reducing the inflammation caused by aging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
