Anti-diarrhea effects and Identification of Musca domestica larvae Low Molecular Weight Peptides (LMWP)

But there is no report on anti-diarrhea effects and identification of the LWMP. The purposes of this study were clarifying the anti-diarrhea effects by regulating intestinal microecology and identification of LMWP. In anti-diarrhea test, diarrhea mice were administered LMWP by oral gavage. Then rectal stool indicator bacteria were counted also the identification of rectal stool bacteria were determined by PCR-DGGE. In LMWP identification test, GFC and RP-HPLC were used to separate the peptide. Then the single polypeptide was tested by MALDI TOF and N-terminal sequence analysis. The results of anti-diarrhea showed that LMWP was effective in the inhibition diarrhea in mice. And microbial diversity indices showed that LMWP treatment group exhibited a higher number of bands. The identification test showed that LMWP had four main components (10-30KD, S1, S2, S3), and there were 5, 7 and 4 peaks in S1, S2 and S3, respectively. The the molecular weight of S2-5, S3-2 and S3-3 was 877.053D, 877.0631D and 1069.4391D, respectively. And S3-3 was determined as Chain A, Carboxypeptidase G2. So the hypothesis that intestinal microbiological regul...
