摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe oral composition superior in a cardiac dysfunction-ameliorating or cardiac function-maintaining action. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in an attempt to solve the aforementioned problems and found that use of, particularly, reduced coenzyme Q10 from among highly safe coenzyme Q affords a composition useful for amelioration of cardiac dysfunction and maintenance of cardiac function. Accordingly, the present invention provides a cardiac dysfunction-ameliorating agent or cardiac function-maintaining agent containing reduced coenzyme Q as an active ingredient, and a pharmaceutical product, a food, an animal drug, a feed and the like, which contain the agent.

A method of preventing or treating fatigue in a subject mammal comprises administering an effective amount of a composition comprising (a) reduced coenzyme Q represented by the following formula (1): wherein n is an integer of 1 to 12, and (b) lipoic acid or a derivative thereof, to the mammal.
摘要:
The present invention has its object to provide an agent for preventing and/or ameliorating life style-related diseases which contains, as an active ingredient, a substance derived from a safe food material having a long history of being eaten as a food and which is capable of being utilized as functional foods such as health foods or functional health foods (specific health foods, functional nutritive foods).The agent for preventing and/or ameliorating life style-related diseases according to the invention contains, as an active ingredient, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of ar-turmerone, α-turmerone, β-turmerone, curlone, bisacumol and β-sesquiphellandrene, or at least one compound selected from among the bisabolane type sesquiterpenoids derived from Curcuma longa L., and therefore is useful for preventing and/or ameliorating diabetes, visceral fat obesity, metabolic syndrome and obesity, among others.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of increasing the absorbability of oxidized coenzyme Q10 by preparing the oxidized coenzyme Q10 as a composition in the presence of a lysolecithin and an oil and fat. The composition of the present invention comprising oxidized coenzyme Q10, a lysolecithin and an oil and fat, wherein the weight ratio of the lysolecithin to the oxidized coenzyme Q10 is not less than 0.7, shows superior absorption of oxidized coenzyme Q10 and can be utilized for food, food with nutrient function, food for specified health uses, nutritional supplement, nutritional product, animal drug, beverage, feed, pet food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical product, therapeutic drug, preventive drug and the like.
摘要:
The present invention provides a particulate composition wherein an oil component containing reduced coenzyme Q10 is polydispersed forming a domain in a matrix containing a water-soluble excipient, which simultaneously shows high oxidative stability and high oral absorbability, a production method thereof, and a stabilizing method thereof. It also provides a food, food with nutrient function claims, food for specified health uses, dietary supplement, nutritional product, animal drug, drink, feed, pet food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical product, therapeutic drug, prophylactic drug and the like, which contain the composition.
摘要:
The present invention provides a cosmetic or food composition which is excellent in a skincare effect, particularly an effect of whitening the skin browned due to ultraviolet radiation or aging, and which can be safely used for many mammals. The present invention provides a whitening composition comprising reduced coenzyme Q represented by formula (1) as an effective component: wherein n represents an integer of 1 to 12. The present invention also provides a whitening composition further comprising oxidized coenzyme Q represented by formula (2) as an effective component: wherein n represents an integer of 1 to 12. The present invention also provides a method for whitening the skin of a mammal, the method comprising administering the mammal with the composition.
摘要:
The invention aims at a composition for preventing or ameliorating multiple risk factor syndrome involving visceral fat-type obesity, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipemia and hypertension, which comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a licorice hydrophobic extract, a turmeric extract, a clove extract, and a cinnamon extract.

A cognition enhancer comprising, as an effective ingredient, a bicyclic compound containing nitrogen atom having the general formula (I): ##STR1## or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof.
摘要:
By using a conductive layer including Cu as a long lead wiring, increase in wiring resistance is suppressed. Further, the conductive layer including Cu is provided in such a manner that it does not overlap with the oxide semiconductor layer in which a channel region of a TFT is formed, and is surrounded by insulating layers including silicon nitride, whereby diffusion of Cu can be prevented; thus, a highly reliable semiconductor device can be manufactured. Specifically, a display device which is one embodiment of a semiconductor device can have high display quality and operate stably even when the size or definition thereof is increased.
摘要:
In a channel protected thin film transistor in which a channel formation region is formed using an oxide semiconductor, an oxide semiconductor layer which is dehydrated or dehydrogenated by a heat treatment is used as an active layer, a crystal region including nanocrystals is included in a superficial portion in the channel formation region, and the rest portion is amorphous or is formed of a mixture of amorphousness/non-crystals and microcrystals, where an amorphous region is dotted with microcrystals. By using an oxide semiconductor layer having such a structure, a change to an n-type caused by entry of moisture or elimination of oxygen to or from the superficial portion and generation of a parasitic channel can be prevented and a contact resistance with a source and drain electrodes can be reduced.
