摘要:
A damper mounting structure is provided with a top buffer member and a bottom buffer member. The bottom buffer member has a protruding section that protrudes with an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom buffer member. The damper mounting structure mates with the protruding section and is anchored to a vehicle body panel, and is provided with a collar formed at substantially the same height as the height of the protruding section. The corner of an opening formed on the vehicle body panel, which comes into contact with the top buffer member, is chamfered.

The present invention provides an ameliorative or preventive agent for metabolic syndrome comprising a barley bran or an α-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 α-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.

A method of selecting a barley variety comprising: a heat treatment step of heat-treating a crude enzyme solution extracted from a seed of a barley (e.g., at 57.5° C. for 30 minutes); an activity-determining step of determining the enzyme activity of β-amylase in the crude enzyme solution heat-treated; and a selection step of selecting the barley variety containing a β-amylase having a residual activity of from 85 to 90% as a result of the activity determination.
摘要:
In barley, the formation of D-hordein constituting gel protein is to be reduced. This reduction in the formation of D-hordein causes a reduction of gel protein because D-hordein fraction decreases in the gel protein; and in addition, it brings about the transformation (reduction) of proteins other than D-hordein which constitute the gel protein from the gel protein. Therefore, by introducing into barley D-hordein expression suppressing vector 1 capable of suppressing the D-hordein formation and transforming the barley therewith, it is possible to attain the reduction of gel protein based on the reduction in the D-hordein formation.

The present invention relates to compositions containing human interleukin-6 with sugar chains, a process for preparing human interleukin-6 by culturing cells in a medium containing ascorbic acid or any of its derivatives, and a process for purifying a crude raw human interleukin-6 solution by chromatography using a carrier with heparin bound. The present invention has allowed the production of high quality human interleukin-6 compositions with sugar chains, and their application to medicines. Furthermore, it has established a process for massproducing human interleukin-6.

A structure for a front portion of a vehicle is provided with a windshield lower member. The windshield lower member includes a windshield lower member main body, and an extended portion formed so as to extend frontward from a front end portion of the windshield lower member main body. The extended portion includes a base portion formed so as to continue from a front end portion of the windshield lower member main body, a weight portion extending in an obliquely front-upward direction from a front end portion of the base portion, and a weak portion that extends in a vehicle width direction at a boundary between the base portion and the weight portion, and that has lower rigidity than the base portion.

A structure for a vehicle body front portion, provided with a cross-member (24) which is provided to a dashboard lower panel (19) on the engine room (13) side thereof and is extended between left and right front side frames (16, 16). The cross-member (24) is divided into left and right cross-members (65, 66). A cup-shaped joint cover (22) is sandwiched between the left and right cross-members (65, 66).
摘要:
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 β-glucan has the highest content. Particularly effective as the water-soluble β-glucan is water-soluble β-glucan having a β-1,3 glycoside bond and β-1,4 glycoside bond in the same molecule.
