Peptide fragments released from Phe-caseinomacropeptide in vivo in the rat
2002
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of bovine Phe-caseinomacropeptide (Phe-CMP) in the rat after oral administration. This polypeptide was monophosphorylated and mainly nonglycosylated: Phe-CMP-1P. During gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, Phe-CMP-1P was degraded. Intact Phe-CMP-1P and CMP-1P were rapidly released from the stomach. In contrast, partial hydrolysis by pancreatic enzymes was observed. In vitro hydrolysis by brush-border membrane vesicles also indicated that the peptide was degraded. In the blood, “CMP-immunoreactive material” appeared rapidly, reaching a maximum level of 5.5 μg/ml at 60 min.
