Alkaline protease also plays a significant role in waste management. In this study, to construct a stable and high-yield alkaline protease producer, we investigated a combined strategy of gamma radiation as an enhancement factor and alkaline protease PGEM-T easy construct . The present study was focused on the isolation of the sprA gene-producing alkaline protease from Streptomyces flavogriseus ADEM7 (AB723783.1). Optimum growth media, fermentation conditions, and proteolytic activity assay were evaluated. The result showed that the free cells preparation produced alkaline protease with a specific activity of 550 U/mg after being exposed to gamma radiation at 10 KGy. The sprA gene was detected using polymerase chain reaction followed by cloning in PGEM-T easy vector, transformation in E. coli JM109, and direct construct sequencing. The s prA gene encoding streptogrisin a (alkaline protease-like activity) was isolated in this study and recorded in the gene bank with accession number AB827411.1. The extracellular protease enzyme was tested for antioxidant and anticancer activities. In future work, we will extract this alkaline protease from the same strain on a larger scale using a fermenter and will characterize its antioxidant activity under in vivo conditions.","PeriodicalId":16096,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Nutrition Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47861437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients were randomized to take Glicoset® in addition to a standardized diet, or to follow a standardized diet alone for 12 months. Glicoset® was self-administered once a day, 1 tablet during the breakfast. After 12 months, 31.9 % of patients retuned to a normal glycemic status in the group treated with nutraceutical + diet vs 3.3 % of patients in diet alone group (p < 0.05). At the end of the study 43.6% were classified as IFG in the group treated with nutraceutical + diet group vs 37% in diet alone group (p < 0.05). In the group treated with nutraceutical + diet, 24.5% were classified as IGT at the end of the study vs 51.1% in diet alone group (p < 0.01). In diet alone group, 8.7% developed type 2 diabetes mellitus vs 0 patients in diet + nutraceutical group (p < 0.05). Total cholesterol, LDL-C, and Tg were lower in the group treated with the nutraceutical combination.
