Abstract

The search for an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor agent as a safe and inexpensive alternative treatment for hypercholesterolemia has been carried out using soy protein hydrolysates as one of the bioactive peptide sources. This study was conducted to explore the potency of soy protein hydrolysates as an anti hypercholesterolemia agent by an in vitro assay, through the inhibition capacity of the HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase enzyme as a key component of cholesterol biosynthesis. Sample preparation started with soy protein isolation through acid precipitation and separated by centrifugation. The samples were analyzed the proximate content and hydrolyzed by papain enzyme at concentration 0.2% (w/v), for 0-6 hours and at 37, 50, and 55 oC. The protein hydrolysates were subsequently evaluated for hydrolysis degree (% DH), hydrolysates profile with SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis), and anti-cholesterol assay through HMG-CoA reductase inhibition tests. The sample with the highest inhibition activity was fractionated using gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-10) and the molecular weight of fractions was characterized by LCMS QTOF (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Quadrupole Time-of-Flight) for molecular weight determination. The results indicated the optimum hydrolysis conditions of soy protein isolates were obtained at 3 hours incubation, at 50 °C with DH 33.39% and the inhibition value was 95.65% (protein concentration 39.21 μg / mL). LCMS data showed the molecular weight of fractionated peptides were 1514 and 2029 Da. We assumed that both peptides have the same affinity as previous peptides in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.

Abstract

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient that can limit primary productivity in waters. Phosphorus has significant impact on the biogeochemical cycle in marine ecosystems. Surface sediments play an important role in the nutrient dynamics. Riverine input is sources of P to the ocean and sediment plays an important role as a source or sink of P in the coloumn of water. Phosphorous (P) availability is regarded as the most important factor for determining the water quality in coastal waters. However, not all of the P fractions can be released from the sediment. This study was conducted to identify the distribution of phosphorus (P) fractionation in the sediment surface of Jobokuto Bay. Samples were collected from ten locations. Percentage of sedimentary parameters such as sand, silt, clay, and organic carbon were analyzed to find out their relation with various P fractions. The sediment found was mostly sand at the station near to the coast and mud (silt and clay) at offshore stations. The results showed that Ca-P dominant (56.03%) and percentages of Fe-P, OP, and Ads-P were  23.43, 17.41, and 3.2% respectively. Terrestrial inputs and biological deposits cause Ca-P dominant. The bioavailability of P fractions were ranged from 34.45 to 56.1% of the total P (TP) content. The high concentrations of the Ads-P was found in the mud fraction and located at offshore stations. The order of abundance of the major forms of P in the surface sediments of Jobokuto bay is as follows: Ca-P > Fe-P > OP > Ads-P
