Hypertension is now a major problem threatening people health in the world. Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important physiological role in regulation of blood pressure via conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of ACE may have an antihypertensive effect as a consequence of a decrease in blood pressure. A number of terrestrial-derived peptides have been reviewed about their in vitro and in vivo ACE-inhibitory activities. Marine organisms are potentially an untapped source of drugs and value-added food production. The aim of this review is to discuss the marine-derived ACE-inhibitory peptides from sources, production, structure aspects, and their future prospects as functional food or novel therapeutic drug candidates.
高血压现已成为威胁全球人类健康的主要问题。血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)在调节血压方面发挥着重要的生理作用,它可以将血管紧张素 I 转化为血管紧张素 II。ACE 的抑制作用可能会降低血压,从而产生降压效果。已有大量陆生来源的肽类物质的研究报告了它们的体外和体内 ACE 抑制活性。海洋生物是一种有待开发的药物和增值食品的潜在来源。本综述旨在从来源、生产、结构等方面讨论海洋来源的 ACE 抑制肽,并探讨其作为功能性食品或新型治疗药物候选物的未来前景。
