Abstract: [Object] In recent years, life style-related diseases, particularly circulatory system diseases caused by the tendency toward high caloric diet, the change in life style, lack of exercise, stress and so on increased and have became a serious social problem. These diseases are caused mainly by injures in blood vessels. To prevent injures in blood vessels, there has been required a vascular endothelial cell-protecting agent and a food having an effect of protecting vascular endothelial cells.

Abstract: An increase in body fat is one of main causes of life-style-related diseases such as hypertension, insulin tolerance and hyperlipemia. A composition for body fat reduction is provided which inhibits body fat from decreasing or decreasing which and which is effective in the treatment and prevention of adult diseases a cause of which is body fat. Also, provided are a medicine and a food each containing the composition. The composition for body fat reduction comprises (A) astaxanthin and (B) at least one of active ingredient, an adsorbent and a solubilizer, a composition comprises (A) Haetmatococcusalga extract containing astaxanthin and (B) at least one of active ingredient, an adsorbent and a solubilizer, and a medicine and food, each containing the composition are provided.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a gene expression regulating agent which includes astaxanthin and/or its ester as an effective ingredient; and a food and drink having an effect of regulating gene expression which includes astaxanthin and/or its ester. Abnormal gene expression due to, for example, oxidative stress can be treated, improved, and/or prevented, and diseases caused by the abnormal gene expression can be treated, improved, and/or prevented. A gene expression regulating agent which includes astaxanthin and/or its ester as an effective ingredient; and a food and drink having an effect of regulating gene expression which includes astaxanthin and/or its ester are provided and are useful for treating, improving, and/or preventing the symptom caused by the abnormal gene expression, that is, excessive expression or suppression of expression.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved reactor, which allows microwave-assisted processing of feedstocks or mixtures of hydrocarbons, and the operating system thereof, which operates under high temperatures and pressures of hydrogen or other gases, in continuous of batch mode.
