Publication number: 20100093658Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a novel therapeutic agent that can reduce visceral fat accumulation to prevent or treat metabolic syndrome. In order to achieve this object, the invention provides a therapeutic agent for metabolic syndrome that comprises, as an active ingredient, dietary fiber aggregation in which water-soluble ?-glucan has the highest content. Particularly effective as the water-soluble ?-glucan is water-soluble ?-glucan having a ?-1,3 glycoside bond and ?-1,4 glycoside bond in the same molecule.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2006Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: SAPPORO BREWERIES LIMITEDInventors: Makoto Kihara, Shigeki Araki, Chikako Shimizu, Yoshiyuki Nakamura, Kazutoshi Ito, Sachie Ikegami, Seiichiro Aoe

Publication number: 20020183261Abstract: The present invention is to provide a novel medicine, drink, food or feed having an action of strengthening bone. More specifically, the present invention is to provide a medicine, drink, food or feed combined with collagen, fraction containing collagen or degradation product thereof. Fraction containing collagen was prepared by mincing skin corium layer into pieces, defatting it and lyophylization or by pulverizing bone, decalcifying it and lyophylization. Oral administration of these can stimulate proliferation of osteoblast, inhibit bone resorption and strengthen bone. They can be useful for improvement of osteoporosis, bone fracture, bone pain, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2002Publication date: December 5, 2002Inventors: Yukihiro Takada, Seiichiro Aoe, Ken Kato, Yasuhiro Toba, Junichi Yamamura

Patent number: 5976597Abstract: The present invention provides a basic protein and a basic peptide composition which can be administered orally and has the ability to stimulate osteoblast proliferation, strengthen bone and inhibit bone resorption. Said basic protein has the following properties: (1) a molecular weight distribution of is 2,000-24,000; (2) an isoelectric point distribution of is 7.5-11; and (3) it is comprised of more than 10% of basic amino acids. Said composition can be obtained by the following steps: After milk, or raw material derived from milk, is loaded onto a cation exchange resin column, a fraction is obtained by eluting with an eluent of 0.1-1.0M salt concentration, precipitate removed by (i) heating to over 75.degree. C., (ii) by adding alcohol so that the final concentration thereof is 10-50% or (iii) by adding salts so that the final concentration thereof will be more than 0.2M; and the supernatant thereof containing the basic protein fraction recovered.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Fujino Patent AttorneyInventors: Yukihiro Takada, Seiichiro Aoe, Hiroaki Matsuyama, Ken Kato, Junichi Yamamura

Patent number: 5932259Abstract: A bone reinforcing agent comprising a basic protein fraction or a basic peptide fraction derived from milk as an effective component is described. The basic protein fraction is obtained by passing milk or a raw material derived from milk over a cation exchange resin and eluting the adhered fraction. The basic peptide fraction is obtained by hydrolyzing the basic protein fraction with a protease. The basic protein fraction and basic peptide fraction of the present invention promote the growth of osteoclasts and suppress the resorption of osteoclasts, and thereby strengthening bone when administered orally. The invention is useful for treating or preventing bone diseases such as osteoporosis.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1995Date of Patent: August 3, 1999Inventors: Ken Kato, Hiroaki Matsuyama, Yukihiro Takada, Toshiaki Uchida, Seiichiro Aoe

Patent number: 5514406Abstract: An oil and fat composition having decreased digestive and absorptive properties comprising an oil and fat composition containing 50% or more tristearin is disclosed. In addition, the oil and fat composition is preferably powdered to have a particle size of 100 .mu.m or less. When beverages and foods containing oil and fat are made, nutritive efficiency may be decreased by using the oil and fat composition of the present invention in place of normally ingested oils and fats. Therefore, the oil and fat composition of the present invention is useful as a material for designer's and pharmaceutical foods.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1994Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seiichiro Aoe, Sachiko Yahagi, Masatoshi Yahiro, Toshimitsu Yoshioka, Hiroaki Konishi, Mototake Murakami, Masami Kawanari
