Overview

Pigout Versus Stay in Shape

This year, iGEM team of NTU-LIHPAO-Taiwan take note of the problem that the obesity condition in Taiwan has deteriorated. Moreover, the market is flooded with those unverified slimming drugs that harm the public health simultaneously. Therefore, we hope to initiate our project from the key peptide “Peptide YY (PYY)” which can control appetite, and take advantage of the probiotic characteristic of Lactobacillus casei, with cell penetrating peptides which contain large developmental potential in oral peptide drugs. We hope that we can make Lactobacillus casei secret CPP-PYY complex which can be another newly created oral peptide drugs.
