Abstract:
Antioxidants are crucial for balancing free radicals, activating the body's defense system, and reducing oxidative stress. Food-derived antioxidant peptides have broad applications in food and biomedical industries, yet understanding their complex composition and molecular mechanisms remains incomplete. Our previous studies have indicated that bass fish (Lateolabrax japonicus) hydrolysates (LPH) possess antioxidant properties. This study aimed to identify and analyze novel antioxidant peptides from LPH using biochemical and computer-based studies. Five novel peptides were discovered, including AGFAGDDAPR, DDWENWAK, DWENWAK, EWDNFAK, and WGEDGYIR, with DDWENWAK showing remarkable antioxidant effects. DDWENWAK protected Caco-2 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative damage and improved mitochondrial energy metabolism via Nrf2 and AMPK pathways. Molecular docking affirmed the relationship between antioxidant properties and peptide structure, highlighting key hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions mediating peptide-receptor binding. These findings provide better insight into the antioxidant peptides' action mechanisms, aiding in the development of novel peptides for antioxidant-functional foods or pharmaceuticals. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
