The present invention provides triglyceride-lowering drugs for lowering in vivo triglyceride, body weight gain-suppressing drugs for suppressing body weight gain, excretion-increasing drugs for increasing excretion, foods and drinks, feed and pharmaceuticals, which contain calcium alginate as an active ingr...
Thus, in addition to functioning as a plasma cholesterol-lowering neutraceutical ingredient in prepared foods, phytosterols can actually protect fats against oxidation during cooking and storage. These two different and compatible functionalities each support the novel introduction of phytosterols into fat-...
Plant sterols (PS) and stanols, their saturated counterparts, are well known for their total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering effect. To date, several meta-analyses have summarised and quantified the LDL-C-lowering effect of PS/stanol-enriched foods and their dose–respon...
Currently, lipid- lowering therapy for patients with diabetes primarily fo- cuses on the reduction in LDL-c through the use of sta- tins, while treatment aimed at lowering TG levels is relatively inadequate [3, 4]. Insulin resistance and impaired islet beta cell function are two major ...
As shown in Examples described below, the agent for lowering blood triglyceride level after meal ingestion of the present invention can lower blood triglyceride level after meal ingestion (after ingesting foods, beverages and the like, which contain general carbohydrates, fat, proteins etc). In the...
Surprisingly, the phytosterols recrystallized in fat that has been incorporated into such foods are very effective, i.e., bioavailable, in reducing plasma and liver cholesterol levels. It is believed that this cholesterol-lowering efficacy compares favorably with that of fully solubilized phytosterol ...
Rhizoma Alismatis (A) was shown to have in vitro anti- diabetic effect [37] and it is involved in an herbal formu- lation for lowering plasma glucose [38]. These findings, together with our data in stimulating ApoA-IV promoter, were in agreement with the traditional prescription of those...

Our aim was to evaluate the triglyceride-lowering effects of Q metabolites in mature and pre-adipocytes, and to compare them to those induced by Q. 3T3-L1 mature and pre-adipocytes were treated with 0.1, 1 and 10 µM of Q, tamarixetin (TAM), isorhamnetin (ISO), quercetin-3-O-...
