A novel dipeptide from potato protein hydrolysate augments the effects of exercise training against high-fat diet-induced damages in senescence-accelerated mouse-prone 8 by boosting pAMPK / SIRT1/ PGC-1α/ pFOXO3 pathway

Abstract

The pathological effects of obesity are often severe in aging condition. Although exercise training is found to be advantageous, the intensity of exercise performed is limited in aging condition. Therefore in this study we assessed the effect of a combined treatment regimen with a short-peptide IF isolated from alcalase potato-protein hydrolysates and a moderate exercise training for 15 weeks in a 6 month old HFD induced obese senescenceaccelerated mouse-prone 8 (SAMP8) mice model. Animals were divided into 6 groups (n=6) (C:Control+BSA); (HF:HFD+BSA); (EX:Control+ BSA+Exercise); (HF+IF:HFD+ IF); (HF+EX:HFD+Exercise); (HF+EX+IF:HFD+Exercise+IF). A moderate incremental swimming exercise training was provided for 6 weeks and after 3 weeks of exercise, IF was orally administered (1 mg/kg body Weight). The results show that combined administration of IF and exercise provides a better protection to aging animals by reducing body weight and regulated tissue damage. IF intake and exercise training provided protection against cardiac hypertrophy and maintains the tissue homeostasis in the heart and liver sections. Interestingly, IF and exercise training showed an effective upregulation in pAMPK/ SIRT1/ PGC-1α/ pFOXO3 mechanism of cellular longevity. Therefore, exercise training with IF intake is a possible strategy for anti-obesity benefits and superior cardiac and hepatic protection in aging condition.

Exercise training modulates adipokine dysregulations in metabolic syndrome

“… 174 , 190 Furthermore, in an animal study, 15-week moderate AT has been shown to confront metabolic disorders by suppressing TNF-α signaling responses and also promoting muscle energy-sensing network proteins, including AMPK, Sirtuin-1, PPARγ Co-Activator 1α (PGC-1α). 191 …”

Physicochemical and Antioxidative Characteristics of Potato Protein Isolate Hydrolysate

“…Enzymatic hydrolysis is an attractive approach for utilizing proteins to achieve increased value [ 11 , 12 ]. Specifically, proteolysis is capable of breaking proteins into peptides with desired size, charge, and surface hydrophobic properties and further improving their antioxidative properties [ 13 ].…”

Targets identified from exercised heart: killing multiple birds with one stone

“…First, SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway activation can promote cell survival 69 . Exercise training upregulates SIRT1/PGC-1α/AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) and prolongs cell longevity 70 . Second, SIRT1 can attenuate ER stress-induced heart injury and cell apoptosis by interacting with eIF2α and inducing deacetylation of the lysine site (K141 and K143), which leads to protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/ eIF2α pathway inactivation 71 .…”
