<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a peptide characterized as comprising desmosine and isodesmosine which are amino acids contained only in elastin at a high concentration and definitely discriminated from collagen peptide. <P>SOLUTION: The peptide obtained by degrading a tissue composed of elastic fibers of fishes with a high elastin content, especially an aortic bulb with an enzyme, an acid or an alkali or its aqueous solution is provided. Furthermore, a method for producing the peptide comprising degrading the tissue composed of the elastic fibers of the fishes with the high elastin content with the enzyme, acid or alkali. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
