The Lacto-Tetrapeptide Gly–Thr–Trp–Tyr, β-Lactolin, Improves Spatial Memory Functions via Dopamine Release and D1 Receptor Activation in the Hippocampus

Scope: Peptides containing tryptophan–tyrosine sequences, including the lacto-tetrapeptide glycine–threonine–tryptophan–tyrosine (GTWY) and β-lactolin, from β-lactoglobulin in whey enzymatic digestion, enhance hippocampus-dependent memory functions, which are blocked by the systemic administration o...

description Scope: Peptides containing tryptophan–tyrosine sequences, including the lacto-tetrapeptide glycine–threonine–tryptophan–tyrosine (GTWY) and β-lactolin, from β-lactoglobulin in whey enzymatic digestion, enhance hippocampus-dependent memory functions, which are blocked by the systemic administration of dopamine D1-like antagonist. In this study, we investigated the role of the hippocampal dopaminergic system in the memory-enhancing effect of β-lactolin. Methods and Results: The results of in vivo microdialysis revealed that oral administration of β-lactolin increased the extracellular concentration of dopamine in the hippocampus and enhanced both spatial working memory, as measured in the Y-maze test, and spatial reference memory, as measured in the novel object location test. These memory-enhancing effects of β-lactolin, but not the baseline memory functions, were impaired by the knockdown of the dopamine D1 receptor subtype in the hippocampus. β-Lactolin also enhanced object memory, as measured by the novel object recognition test. However, D1 knockdown in the hippocampus spared this memory function either with or without the administration of β-lactolin. Conclusions: The present results indicate that oral administration of β-lactolin increases dopamine release and D1 receptor signaling in the hippocampus, thereby enhancing spatial memory, but it may improve object memory via a separate mechanism.
