Abstract:
The present invention relates to peptides isolated from a protein hydrolysate of Tenebrio molitor mealworm and a composition comprising same as an active ingredient for prevention or treatment of liver injury. According to the present invention, a protein hydrolysate of Tenebrio molitor mealworm contains biologically active peptides having a size of 1 kDa or less, reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species, and increases the expression and activity of antioxidative enzymes, thereby effectively protecting hepatocytes from oxidative stress. Thus, the peptide can be advantageously used in a composition for prevention or treatment of liver injury, a health food composition for prevention or alleviation of liver injury, a health food composition for protection of the liver, an anti-oxidative health food composition, and so on.
