IRW
IRW is an orally active tripeptide produced from egg white with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory properties. IRW can prevent high-fat diet (HFD)-induced Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by modulating hepatic lipid metabolism and increasing mitochondrial content. IRW decreases hepatic triglyceride content and lipid droplet size. IRW increases the hepatic mitochondrial complexes and citrate synthase activity, phosphorylation of 5’-AMP-activated protein kinase and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein abundance. IRW increases phosphorylated acetyl CoA carboxylase and mitochondrial complexes, IRW can be used for the research of inflammation.
