Winged bean (WB), Psophocarpus tetragonolobus, is a tropical legume, the potential of which is not yet been understood. We found that a 5 week-oral administration of WB seed extract inhibited wrinkle formation induced by repeated tape stripping (TS), which is a model of lichenification in human chro...

We have previously showed that whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) causes a greater increase in muscle protein synthesis than an identical composition of amino acids mixture does. The present study was conducted to investigate a comparative effect of WPH on gene expression. Male Sprague-Dawley rats subje...

Dietary collagen hydrolysate has been conjectured to improve skin barrier function. To investigate the effect of long-term collagen hydrolysate administration on the skin, we evaluated stratum corneum water content and skin elasticity in intrinsic aged mice. Female 9-week-old hairless mice were fed ...

The mechanism by which phosphorus levels are maintained in the body was investigated by analyzing changes in gene expression in the rat kidney following administration of a high-phosphorus diet. Male Wistar rats were fed a high phosphorous (HP) diet containing 1.2% phosphorous, or 0.3% HP as a contr...

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki L. f.) is a most popular fruit in Asian countries but its peels are totally wasted despite of containing a plenty of antioxidants such as carotenoids and polyphenols. We prepared a fat-soluble extract from a persimmon peel (PP) fraction and fed type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizak...

In previous in vitro study, we reported potential mechanism of cholesterol-lowering effect of Lactobacillus brevis119-2 (119-2) isolated from turnip M-bM-^@M-^\Tsuda kabuM-bM-^@M-^] is due to incorporation of cholesterol into 119-2 cell. In this study, we analyzed serum cholesterol and hepatic gene ...

Lactic acid bacteria confer a variety of health benefits. Here we investigate the mechanisms by which Lactobacillus brevis KB290 enhances cell-mediated cytotoxic activity. We fed a diet containing KB290 (3 M-CM-^W 10^9 colony-forming units/g) , or potato starch, to 9-week-old female BALB/c mice for ...

A high phosphorus (HP) diet causes disorders of renal function, bone metabolism, and vascular function. We previously demonstrated that DNA microarray analysis is an appropriate method to comprehensively evaluate the effects of a HP diet on kidney dysfunction such as calcification, fibrillization, a...

Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) contents of grain-filling stage are keys item that determined the growth of rice, and also the quality of seed. Therefore, to elucidating the mechanism of C/N signaling in a seed is an important problem for crops whose seed is used as food like rice. The DNA microarray an...

Renin-angiotensin system regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and tissue remodeling in skin. Previouly, we reported that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) expression and angiotensin II level were enhanced by repeated UVB-irradiation of hairless mice skin, and ACE inhibitor enal...
