Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Proteolytically digested γ-conglutin from lupin possesses anti-diabetic properties.•γ-conglutin peptides promote glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in human muscle cells.•γ-conglutin peptides activate AKT/mTOR/p70S6K signalling and promote protein synthesis.•γ-conglutin peptides inhibit the activity of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4). The glucose modulating properties of lupin have been attributed to its seed protein γ-conglutin. Here we explored the antidiabetic potential of γ-conglutin purified from lupin seeds in-vitro. To mimic the effects of an orally administered supplement, purified γ-conglutin was hydrolysed by gastrointestinal proteolytic enzymes and the resulting peptides evaluated for their antidiabetic effects in pancreatic β-cells and primary human skeletal muscle myotubes. γ-conglutin peptides did not promote insulin secretion in β-cells but elicited a potent insulin-mimetic action by activating insulin signalling pathways responsible for glycogen, protein synthesis, and glucose transport into myotubes. Additionally, the peptides potently suppressed the activity of DPP4 indicating their potential to increase the half-life of incretin hormones in circulation. These results substantiate the health benefits of consuming lupin seeds as part of a healthy diet and can drive the current market for lupins from primarily stockfeed, towards value-added lupin-based food products for human consumption.
