摘要:
Disclosed is a method for screening for a medicinal agent that can decrease a body weight, a medicinal agent that can reduce a visceral fat, a medicinal agent that can reduce a triglyceride in the liver, and a medicinal agent that can ameliorate obesity and fatty liver. The method involves a step of measuring the inhibitory activity of a candidate substance on a sphingomyelin synthase, wherein the candidate substance is determined to have at least one function selected from the group consisting of an anti-obesity agent, a visceral fat-reducing agent, a fatty liver-treating agent and an adiponectin expression enhancer when the candidate substance has an inhibitory activity on the sphingomyelin synthase.
摘要:
The problem of the present invention is to prove a medicament for decreasing body weigh, a medicament for decreasing visceral fat, a medicament for decreasing triglyceride in the liver, and a method for screening a medicament for ameliorating obesity and fatty liver. The problem is solved by a method comprising measuring an activity of a candidate material for inhibiting a sphingomyelin synthetase wherein if the candidate material has an activity for inhibiting a sphingomyelin synthetase, the candidate material is judged to have at least one function selected from the consisting of an anti-obesity drug, a drug for decreasing visceral fat, a drug for treating fatty liver and an agent for increasing adiponectin expression.

Provided is a semiconductor device in which a high concentration n type impurity region to be a conductive path and a drain electrode are disposed in an outer circumferential end of the chip to be an inactive region as a device region. Thereby, an up-drain structure is obtained without reducing the device region or without increasing the size of a semiconductor chip. The provided n type impurity region and drain electrode causes a depletion layer of a substrate to be terminated without needing an additional conventional annular region or shield metal. This is because the n type impurity region and the drain electrode also function as the annular region and the shield metal, respectively. With this configuration, a MOSFET with the up-drain structure having necessary components is obtained, while avoiding a reduction of the device region or an increase of the chip area.
