Abstract: A vehicle body front structure provided with left and right side frames (16, 17). The left front side frame (16) has a rectangular closed cross-sectional shape. The front side frame (16) is provided with a rectilinear section (front half frame section) (44) extending rectilinearly from the front end (58) to the center section (43), and also with a moment receiving section (rear half frame section) (45) continuing from the rectilinear section (44) and extending in a curved form toward the inner side in the widthwise direction of the vehicle. A first ridge line section (78) is a portion which forms a corner (78) among the corners (78) of the rectilinear section (45), said corner (78) being located on the inner side in the widthwise direction of the vehicle. A second ridge line section (84) is connected to the first ridge line section (78) at a position inside the moment receiving section (45). A stiffener (65) is connected to the rear end (66) of the front side frame (16).

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ameliorative or preventive agent for metabolic syndrome comprising a barley bran or an ?-amylase-treated product thereof as an active ingredient. The present invention also provides an ameliorative or preventive agent for metabolic syndrome comprising a water-insoluble component of an ?-amylase-treated product of a barley bran as an active ingredient. These are naturally derived ameliorative or preventive agents for metabolic syndrome which can inhibit the accumulation of visceral fat to ameliorate or prevent metabolic syndrome.
