Protective effects of peptides from skate (Okamejei kenojei) skin gelatin against endothelial dysfunction

Seafood processing by-product, skate (Okamejei kenojei) skin, was utilized to isolate active peptides with antihypertensive effect. Two peptides (MVGSAPGVL, 829 Da and LGPLGHQ, 720 Da) were purified from skate skin gelatin. In human endothelial cells, nitric oxide (NO) synthesis was found to be incr...
