Abstract: The present invention provides a food intake regulating agent which improves anorexia and overeating and is safe for ingestion for a long term. The present invention relates to a food intake regulating agent containing 3 kinds of amino acids: threonine, methionine and tryptophan, as active ingredients.

Abstract: An object is to provide a laminated polyimide substrate, and a method for the production thereof, in which various properties are ensured and/or provided by effectively controlling changes over time under stringent conditions, while ensuring sufficient adhesion between a polyimide film and metal layer. A laminated polyimide substrate comprises a polyimide layer, an alkali-treated layer derived from the polyimide layer, and a metal layer, arranged in that order, wherein the alkali-treated layer contains an anionic functional group, and is a laminated structure having a layer containing a metal catalyst arranged on the metal layer side and a layer containing a complex of the metal catalyst arranged on the polyimide layer side.

Abstract: Administering an agent containing isoleucine and threonine as active ingredients is effective for the prophylaxis or improvement of frailty in an elderly person and is safe even by ingestion for a long term. The agent for the prophylaxis or improvement of frailty may further contain tryptophan and/or methionine as an active ingredient.

Abstract: There are provided technologies for adsorbing a catalyst metal selectively to an anionic group such as a carboxyl group, thereby forming a metal film on a nonconductive resin selectively, including a palladium complex represented by the following formula (I): wherein L represents an alkylene group and R represents an amino group or a guanidyl group, or a structural isomer thereof, a processing solution for electroless plating catalyst application containing the complex as an active component, and a method for forming a metal plated film on a nonconductive resin, containing subjecting a nonconductive resin having a surface anionic group to a catalyst adsorbing treatment using the processing solution and then to a reduction treatment, electroless metal plating, and metal electroplating.
