Hypertension is a worldwide health problem that can even be life-threatening.
Antihypertensive
peptides (AHPs), a kind of food-derived short peptides, can lower blood pressure with almost no side effects
compared with the drugs.
Our team developed an antihypertensive probiotic food this year. We constructed AHP multimer,
which was expressed in fusion with food-derived protein and then transformed it into probiotics.
The recombinant probiotics can colonize in intestine, then express the fusion protein by the
regulation of gastrointestinal different pH. The expressed fusion protein can be hydrolyzed by intestinal enzymes to
release the AHPs, which can be absorbed to exert a sustainable and gentle blood pressure lowering effect.
The recombinant probiotic could be made into antihypertensive tablets, powder, capsules and
even
yogurt. These products are more acceptable to people ,and can be assistant treatment for hypertensive patients to
lower their blood pressure and also help those person with borderline blood pressure to prevent hypertension.
Hypertension is a worldwide health problem that
seriously
threatens human health! The
medication could effectively control the condition of hypertension.
However, the prevalence of hypertension has increased year by year.
WHY?
Medication is no longer the only option for patients
with hypertension. Based on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, a green blood pressure lowering method has
been developed.
REALLY?
Find out if our projects are responsible and
beneficial to the world. We listen to feedback from different groups of people to better meet the needs of
society.
Engineering concept is implemented ! Modeling to
predict the feasiblity of gene regulatory circuits. Give a visual representation of the gastrointestinal
simulation experiment.

As a responsible experimenter, it is not too much to pay attention to security issues. How do we do it with responsibility?
