  • Publication number: 20240123015
    Abstract: A composition for strengthening, developing, differentiating, or regenerating muscle, or preventing, ameliorating, or treating muscle loss or muscle fatigue includes a Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component. The Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component has the effects of restoring the viability of muscle cells, increasing the endurance time on the rotarod performance test, i.e., the holding time without falling off from the rod, compared to the control group, reducing the content of LDH, AST, and ALT in blood, increasing the grip strength, enhancing the expression amount of energy metabolism-related genes in muscle tissues, increasing the density of muscle fibers in muscle tissues, inducing a change in the fibroblast arrangement to have a well-organized structure, and reducing the expression of MuRF1 in muscle tissues, as compared to the control group.

  • Patent number: 9724361
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating liver diseases, containing a narirutin extract of citrus peel extract or narirutin as an active ingredient. The extract or narirutin decreases cholesterol levels and fat levels in liver tissue, and thus can be utilized as a composition or food for preventing and treating liver diseases. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for extracting narirutin from citrus peel, and a method for preparing citrus fermented milk using the same.
