Group 1: Core Insights - The article emphasizes the significance of soybean sprouts as a versatile and nutritious food that aids in weight management and brain health [5][6][15]. - Recent research highlights the anti-obesity potential of soybean peptides (SSP), which can regulate metabolic pathways and gut microbiota, thus promoting weight loss and improving metabolic disorders [8][10][11][14]. Group 2: Research Findings - A study from Zhejiang University revealed that SSP significantly reduced body weight by 8.7% and abdominal fat by 84% in high-fat diet-induced obese mice [11][12]. - SSP was shown to improve lipid metabolism, lowering total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice [11][12]. - The mechanism of SSP's action involves the activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway and modulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which helps in correcting metabolic imbalances [13][14]. Group 3: Broader Implications - The findings suggest that soybean sprouts could be a promising functional food or health supplement for individuals seeking natural weight management solutions [15][19]. - The article also discusses the potential of soybean sprouts in addressing cognitive decline, particularly in relation to Alzheimer's disease, due to their content of natural compounds that inhibit harmful protein phosphorylation [15][19]. Group 4: National Health Strategy - The article references China's "Healthy China 2030" initiative, which aims to enhance public awareness and skills in weight management, targeting a 10% annual reduction in obesity rates by 2026 [21][28]. - The initiative emphasizes the importance of establishing supportive environments for weight management and promoting healthy lifestyles across the population [28].

撰文丨王聪 编辑丨王多鱼 排版丨水成文 最近，关于 牛磺酸 的研究接连登上三大顶刊 Science 、 Cell 和 Nature ，这些研究揭示了 牛磺酸的新功 能—— 抗衰老 【1】 、 提高癌症治疗效果 【2】 、 抗肥胖 【3】 ，当然，也不都是好消息，今年 5 月份发 表在 Nature 上的一项则显示， 肿瘤微环境中的牛磺酸会促进白血病 【4】 。 2025 年 6 月 5 日，牛磺酸研究再次登上顶刊 Science ，来自美国国立卫生研究院国家老龄化研究所的研 究团队 ，发表了题为： Is taurine an aging biomarker? （牛磺酸是衰老标志物吗？） ， 直接质疑了牛磺 酸作为衰老的生物标志物的观点 【5】 。 该研究显示：1）成年期循环牛磺酸浓度不会随年龄增长而下降；2）个体间循环牛磺酸浓度的差异通常大 于其一生中的纵向变化，这限制了其作为衰老生物标志物的实用性；3）循环牛磺酸浓度与健康状况的功能 指标之间的关联取决于具体情境 （年龄、物种或队列） ——。 研究团队进一步得出结论—— 牛磺酸浓度与衰老之间没有明显关联，循环牛磺酸浓度也就不太可能成为一 种良好的衰老生物标志 ...
