- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine the contents of antler peptides in Cervus elaphus yarkandensis from different locations and harvest periods to evaluate their qualities. METHODS: The concentration of antler peptides of Cervus elaphus yarkandensis was measured by BCA protein assay kit. The protein contents between differen regions and harvest time were compared. RESULTS: A good linear relationship was achieved for the calibration curve of antler peptides in the range of 20-2 000 μg · mL-1 (r=0.997 9). The average recovery was 99.06% with RSD of 2.08% (n=6). The contents of antler peptides in Cervus elaphus Linnaeus from different locations were significantly different. There were also differences in the antler peptides content of the same origin samples collected in different periods. CONCLUSION: The established method is simple, accurate and reproducible, which can be adopted for determination of antler peptides in Cervus elaphus Linnaeus.
