Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for antiobesity, which contains a Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea or a Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea extract as an active ingredient. The composition of the present disclosure, which contains a Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea or a Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea extract as an active ingredient, is effective for preventing, alleviating or treating diabetes, obesity, muscle loss, etc. since it exhibits the efficacy of increasing AMPK activity, promoting beta oxidation, promoting glucose uptake, etc. In addition, since the composition of the present disclosure is derived from a natural product, it can be safely used as a drug, food, etc. without side effects.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lab-on-a-chip version of biosensor for an on-the-spot analysis whose analytical performances were remarkably improved, by incorporating commercial membranes, traditionally used for rapid diagnostics, into microfluidic channels engraved on the surface of a plastic chip, as follows: 1) reduction of sample size; 2) realization of variable functions for total analysis; and 3) transfer of medium by capillary action without the assistance of an external force.
