Egg-Derived Peptide IRW Inhibits TNF-α-Induced Inflammatory Response and Oxidative Stress in Endothelial Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Oxidative stress and vascular inflammatory response are key mediators of endothelial dysfunction that leads to cardiovascular diseases. A novel peptide, IRW, was previously characterized from egg protein with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of IRW on regulating inflammatory response in endothelial cells. The results showed that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) significantly increased the protein levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), whereas pretreatment with IRW inhibited TNF-α-induced increases of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MCP-1 production in a concentration-dependent manner. IRW also reduced the levels of superoxide ions in the presence and absence of TNF-α. These results indicate the potential role of IRW in preventing cardiovascular disease as a functional food ingredient or nutraceutical.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
