Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising adiponectin-derived peptide fragments and, more specifically, to a cosmetic composition and pharmaceutical composition for promoting hair growth comprising, as an active ingredient, one or more adiponectin-derived peptides selected from the group consisting of amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 21. The adiponectin-derived peptides activate the cell division of dermal papilla cells and outer root sheath cells of hair follicles, promote hair growth in the hair follicles, and also increase the expression of hair growth factors in the dermal papilla cells, and thus a composition of the present invention comprising the adiponectin-derived peptides can be effectively used to promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis, comprising 8-OHdG or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a method for preventing or treating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis using the same, and a food composition for ameliorating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis, comprising 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. As use of the pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis can reduce levels of various markers whose expression level increases due to induced liver fibrosis, the pharmaceutical composition can be widely used in the effective prevention or treatment of liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis induced thereby.
