The application discloses application of recombinant trichinella
thioredoxin peroxidase 2 in preparation of medicines for improving and / or preventing
obesity, and relates to the technical field of biological medicines.The application first discovers that recombinant trichinella
thioredoxin peroxidase 2 (rTsTPX2) has a remarkable effect of improving
obesity and related metabolic disorders.Compared with the prior art, the application expands the application range of rTsTPX2 from the known anti-parasitic vaccine use to the field of
obesity and
metabolic disease prevention and treatment, and provides a brand-new candidate molecule for obesity treatment.rTsTPX2 can effectively improve
adipose tissue and systemic chronic low-grade
inflammation by inhibiting the polarization of macrophages to pro-inflammatory M1 type and promoting M2 type polarization, thereby improving
glycolipid metabolic disorders from a
pathological root, and reducing the obesity
phenotype, which is different from the action mode of traditional
weight loss medicines that only inhibit
appetite or reduce
lipid absorption.
