By the way, if a functional peptide shorter than a conventionally known peptide is obtained, it is considered that it is unlikely to be degraded in a living body, and there are advantages that the peptide can be easily synthesized. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to obtain a functional peptide having a cholesterol-lowering effect with a sequence as short as about 3 amino acids.

ro-Ile-Gln-Tyr-Val-Leu-Se
The effect of the r-Arg) fragment peptide on serum cholesterol was examined. Casoxin C binds to the C3a receptor and has ileal contraction activity, as well as immunostimulatory effects and central effects such as anti-analgesic and anti-amnesia. Tyr-V, a fragment peptide of Casoxin C
al-Leu-Ser-Arg is the smallest unit that binds to the C3a receptor like Casoxin C. As a result of examining the physiological activity of a shorter peptide, it was found that a peptide having a structure of Leu-Ser-Arg has an effect of lowering serum cholesterol. The second amino acid is Ala or P
Leu-Ala-Arg, a peptide changed to ro
And Leu-Pro-Arg also had a serum cholesterol lowering effect. Thus, there is no precedent that the tripeptide exhibits a cholesterol lowering effect, which is the most remarkable effect of the present invention.

(X is Ser, Ala or Pro) and is a novel peptide. These peptides are useful for lowering serum cholesterol. Therefore, a cholesterol-lowering agent containing one or two of these peptides can be prepared. The peptide of the present invention has 3
Although it is a tripeptide consisting of amino acids, there has never been a precedent in which tripeptide exhibits a cholesterol-lowering effect as in the present invention. As described above, the short sequence of the functional peptide makes it difficult to decompose and facilitates the synthesis. Therefore, the advantage of the tripeptide having a cholesterol-lowering effect is great. Leu mentioned above is leucine, Arg is arginine, Ser is serine, Ala is alanine, and Pro is proline. All such amino acids are in the L-form.

The reduction rate (%) of total cholesterol and heparin precipitated (HPL) cholesterol by administration of eu-Pro-Arg (LPR) was examined by comparison with a control group. Table 2 shows the results. As shown in Table 2, all three peptides of the present invention exhibited a cholesterol lowering rate of 24% or more (n = 8).

ある。From the above results, it was found that the peptide of the present invention was administered to mice administered with a high cholesterol diet at 50 to 100 mg / k.
Oral administration at a dose of g results in a 20-30% serum cholesterol lowering effect. The peptide of the present invention is a safe cholesterol-lowering substance by lowering serum cholesterol in mice administered with a high cholesterol diet by oral administration but not in normal mice.

LSR promoted phagocytosis even though u-Ser-Arg did not show phagocytosis promoting activity. From the above, it is considered that the cholesterol-lowering effect of LSR is due to regulation through the immune system. LSR did not increase the amount of bile acids in feces. From these results, it is considered that the cholesterol lowering effect of LSR is not due to inhibition of bile acid reabsorption.
