Abstract: A serum resistin level reducing agent that comprises a cell wall disrupted product of a Chlorella pyrenoidos, and that reduces a serum resistin level, as an agent for oral administration. A food or beverage composition for reducing a serum resistin level that comprises a cell wall disrupted product of a Chlorella pyrenoidos, and that reduces a serum resistin level. A method of reducing a serum resistin level by applying a cell wall disrupted product of a chlorella for oral administration. A use of a cell wall disrupted product of a chlorella for oral administration for reducing a serum resistin level.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting angiogenesis by applying a kind of protein polysaccharide of a (1?6)-?-D-glucan obtained from a residue of extraction of crushed dried fruiting body of Agaricus blazei Murill (himematsutake) with 80% ethanol aqueous solution and hot water at 100 degrees C.

Abstract: A chlorella extract-containing product of excellent safety and storage stability is provided without using a benzoate, which is a common preservative. A chlorella extract-containing product containing a capsicum extract at 0.020-1.63% by weight on a dry weight basis relative to a chlorella extract in an aqueous liquid for drinking having the chlorella extract as an principal ingredient. This chlorella extract-containing product is to be used as a chlorella-containing beverage or a chlorella-containing food additive. A method for improving the storage stability of a chlorella extract-containing product, comprising adding a capsicum extract to a chlorella extract at 0.020-1.63% by weight on a dry weight basis in an aqueous liquid for drinking having the chlorella extract as an principal ingredient.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting angiogenesis by applying a protein polysaccharide of a (1?6)-?-D-glucan with a glucan:protein ratio of 55:43 [w/w], obtained by extracting with a 5 w % aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide a residue of extraction and removal of water-soluble polysaccharides from the Agaricus blazei Murill (himematsutake) fruiting body, and a food/beverage composition for angiogenesis inhibition containing the protein polysaccharide of (1?6)-?-D-glucan.
