- Binding energy shifts between free and solid state atoms for K 2p and Rb 3d photolines have been determined by measuring the vapor and solid state spectra simultaneously in similar experimental conditions applying synchrotron radiation excited photoelectron spectroscopy. This method has the important benefit that the work function is not needed to correct for different reference energy levels, therefore much more accurate values for binding energy shifts are obtained.

- The effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition by an antihypertensive drug, captopril, and milk casein-derived ACE-inhibiting bioactive tripeptide isoleucine-proline-proline (Ile-Pro-Pro), on local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and glucocorticoid production in the intestine were studied in the dextran sodium sulfate induced colitis in mice. Mice received water or 3% dextran sodium sulfate with or without either 15.7 mg/l captopril or 833 mg/l Ile-Pro-Pro for 7 days. Captopril and Ile-Pro-Pro were found to have distinct effects on local renin-angiotensin system and mRNA expression of glucocorticoid synthesis components in colon in vitro. Captopril reduced intestinal mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensinogen and Cyp11b1, whereas Ile-Pro-Pro reduced angiotensin-converting enzyme protein shedding from colon. Neither captopril nor Ile-Pro-Pro changed the expression of glucocorticoid-synthesis driving transcription factor Lrh-1 expression or intestinal glucocorticoid production. Contrary to previous studies, captopril did not alleviate DSS-induced colitis. Furthermore, Ile-Pro-Pro was mildly pro-inflammatory as exhibited by increased pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels in colon. The nutritional component Ile-Pro-Pro had different effect on intestinal RAS and glucocorticoid (GC) synthesis pathway than ACE inhibitor captopril, which suggests that the bioactivity of Ile-Pro-Pro is not limited to inhibition of ACE.
