摘要:
Methods for lowering serum triglycerides use pharmaceutical agents and food products that have no side effects, are easy to ingest continuously, and have a serum triglyceride-lowering effect are provided. The pharmaceutical agents and food products are lipid metabolism-ameliorating agents and serum triglyceride-lowering agents, which include as an active ingredient a culture of a bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus. The bacterium belongs to the genus Bacillus is preferably Bacillus subtilis, and more preferably Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (FERM BP-1096). The lipid metabolism-ameliorating agent and the serum triglyceride-lowering agent are useful for treating and preventing diseases such as arteriosclerosis.

According to one embodiment, a medium holding apparatus includes an endless device configured to rotate at a predetermined circumferential speed, a charging member arranged to be opposed to the surface of the endless device and configured to apply a voltage to a medium and attract the medium to the endless device using electrostatic force, a charge removing member arranged to be opposed to the surface of the endless device and configured to discharge charges in the medium using an alternating voltage, and a controller configured to offset a reference voltage of the alternating voltage to a polarity opposite to the polarity of the voltage applied during the attraction.
摘要:
The present invention provides Lactobacillus bacteria which enhance the functional of Peyer's patch and promote IgA production and which have a characteristics of localizing on human intestine as well as an agent for promoting IgA production. The present invention is directed to an agent for promoting IgA production containing Lactobacillus amylovorus cells, especially Lactobacillus amylovorus CP1750 (FERM BP-10532) as an active ingredient,
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus including a cleaning device having a cleaning blade arranged so as to make contact with and separate from a cleaned surface, an occurrence of excessive cutting when the cleaning blade makes contact with the cleaned surface is prevented. The image forming apparatus includes the cleaning blade for making contact with and separating from the cleaned surface and scraping off toner adhered onto the cleaned surface and a regulation unit for regulating a movement of the cleaning blade in the direction of contact with the cleaned surface up to a position where a pressing force to the cleaned surface by the cleaning blade does not exceed a predetermined pressing force.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for preparing lactic acid bacteria having a high anti-allergic activity comprising culturing the lactic acid bacteria in a medium containing casein hydrolysate. The invention also provides an anti-allergic agent and a food/beverage product having anti-allergic activity comprising the lactic acid bacteria cultured in the method of the invention.
