摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel agent for adjusting hardness of a lens of an eye which can be taken easily, conveniently, and safely for a long-term, can effectively adjust the hardness of the lens, and is capable of preventing, alleviating and improving poor focus and decreased near visual acuity, such as presbyopia, caused by aging and various diseases. The present invention solves the above object by providing an agent for adjusting hardness of a lens of an eye comprising a glycosyl hesperetin as an active ingredient.

An object of the present invention is to provide a composition having an effective GLP-1 secretion-promoting effect. The present invention attains this object by providing a composition for promoting GLP-1 secretion, comprising component (A) and component (B) as active ingredients, wherein said component (A) is a glycosyl naringenin and said component (B) is one or more selected from a group consisting of α-pinene, β-pinene, sabinene, camphene, valencene, β-caryophyllene, β-ionone, methyl anthranilate, methyl N-methylanthranilate, thymol, and nootkatone.
摘要:
The present invention aims to provide means capable of improving the intestinal flora and the productivity of livestock and/or poultry, especially means for improving the weight gain, the feed conversion ratio, and the uniformity of livestock and/or poultry. The object is achieved by providing a method of improving the productivity of livestock and/or poultry, and a method of improving the intestinal flora of livestock and/or poultry, by feeding the livestock and/or poultry with a feed containing trehalose and probiotics, and providing a feed for livestock and/or poultry containing trehalose and probiotics.
摘要:
A staining method includes staining a biological sample with a coumarin fluorescent dye to provide a fluorescent-stained sample, and bringing the fluorescent-stained sample into contact with osmium tetroxide, further embedding the sample in an epoxy resin, and subsequently slicing the sample to provide a section sample including the fluorescent-stained sample.

To reduce cost for the method for separating semiconducting carbon nanotube from a mixture of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The separation method includes preparing a dispersion by mixing a first substance, a second substance, SDS, SC, and a mixture of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes with a solvent, wherein the dispersion into two layers, which are a first layer mainly containing the first substance and a second layer mainly containing the second substance, whereby the semiconducting carbon nanotube is transferred into the first layer, and the metallic carbon nanotube is transferred into the second layer, wherein the first substance is an α-glucan which is composed of glucose linked via α-glucosidic linkage and which has a weight average molecular weight Mw of 4,000 to 7,000 and has a ratio in amount of α-1, 6 linked glucose residues to the entire glucose residues of 40 to 70%.
摘要:
The invention provides a process for enabling the production of a particulate composition containing anhydrous crystalline ascorbic acid 2-glucoside that does not significantly cake even when the production yield of ascorbic acid 2-glucoside does not reach 35% by weight. The process for producing a particulate composition containing anhydrous crystalline ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, which comprises allowing a CGTase to act on a solution containing either liquefied starch or dextrin and L-ascorbic acid and then allowing a glucoamylase to act on the resulting solution to obtain a solution with an ascorbic acid 2-glucoside production yield of at least 27%, purifying the obtained solution to increase the ascorbic acid 2-glucoside content to a level of over 86% by weight, precipitating anhydrous crystalline ascorbic acid 2-glucoside by a controlled cooling method or pseudo-controlled cooling method, collecting the precipitated anhydrous crystalline ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, and ageing and drying the collected anhydrous crystalline ascorbic acid 2-glucoside.

The present invention has objects to provide a novel human T-cell population having both cytotoxic and immunosuppressive activities, and to a method for preparing the same. The above objects are attained by providing a human T-cell population which is obtainable by coculturing mononuclear cells, collected from human blood, with stroma cells and which has the following features: (1) being positive for CD3, CD25, CD28 and T-cell antigen receptor αβ; (2) essentially consisting of three groups of a CD4 positive and CD8 positive (CD4+CD8+) T-cell group, a CD4 positive and CD8 dimly positive (CD4+CD8dim) T-cell group, and a CD4 negative and CD8 positive (CD4−CD8+) T-cell group; (3) exerting a cytotoxic activity against the cocultured stroma cells; and (4) exerting an immunosuppressive activity against activated T cells.
摘要:
The present invention has objects to provide a functional powdery product prepared by allowing carriers to support one or more members selected from vitamin glycosides, and to provide external dermatological agents having satisfactory usability, which contain the above functional powdery products and effectively exert the functions of vitamins. These objects are solved by providing a functional powdery product prepared by allowing carriers such as saccharides to support one or more members selected from vitamin glycosides, and by providing external dermatological agents incorporated with the functional powdery products.
