Problems solved by technology

[0036] This shows that these medicines are useful for the prevention and treatment of various diseases related to mast cells, such as allergic diseases. On the other hand, there are actually problems with their safety or use methods.
When using steroid external preparations, side effects such as red tides during use, skin atrophy, and rebound phenomenon that aggravates skin inflammation after discontinuation of administration may occur; The site of application and the barrier function of the skin greatly affect the efficacy of the drug (Journal of the Japanese Society of Dermatology, Furue Yoshitaka, 2004, 114, p.135~)

Embodiment 1

[0130] As described above, since the ingestion of DGLA is expected to be useful for the prevention or treatment of atopic dermatitis, SUNTGD, a triglyceride of DGLA oil, was used in experimental animals to study its usefulness. Triglyceride SUNTGD is prepared according to the method described in Japanese Patent No. 3354581, and contains DGLA as a main constituent fatty acid. This time, NC / Nga mice were used as an animal model of atopic dermatitis. This animal model was confirmed as one of the most useful animal models of atopic dermatitis at present, and it was proved that it is actually in the clinical field of atopic treatment. The steroid topical agents and immunosuppressants used are also effective in this animal model, so they are widely used in screening tests for drugs for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

[0131] Under the usual breeding environment, the animal naturally develops dermatitis around 8 weeks after birth, and its inflammatory condition becomes more seve...

Embodiment 2

[0156] In order to find out the relationship between the amount of DGLA taken orally and the level of DGLA in the body, the oral intake of DGLA was analyzed by surveying diet, and the amount of DGLA in serum phospholipids was measured after blood collection. The subjects were 11 healthy men aged 60 to 70, who made a daily record of their meal content and food raw materials for a week, and calculated the intake of meat, eggs, fish and shellfish food raw materials known to contain DGLA based on the records. According to the "Four Sets Japanese Food Standard Composition Table, Japanese Food Fat-soluble Component Table (1990)", the DGLA content of each food raw material can be calculated, and the daily DGLA intake per person can be calculated using this content. Calculate the average daily DGLA intake per person based on the DGLA intake within one week.

[0157]On the other hand, blood was drawn on the day after the last day recorded in the diary, and the obtained serum phospholip...

Embodiment 3

[0161] We know that the skin is damaged by sunlight in skin diseases, especially ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 290nm to 320nm classified as UV-B are considered to cause acute skin inflammation (sunburn), pigmentation, and sun exposure. (suntan), one of the biggest causes of skin cancer etc. This time, in order to further study the possibility of the effect of DGLA on skin function, guinea pigs with acute skin inflammation induced by UV-B were used as animal models to evaluate the effect of DGLA on acute skin inflammation. This animal model is one of the most useful animal models for drug efficacy screening in the development of pharmaceuticals expected to have anti-inflammatory effects.

[0162] In this test, male Hartley guinea pigs were prepared, divided into a control diet group and a DGLA diet group, and allowed to ingest each diet continuously from the age of 5 weeks to the age of 7 weeks at the end of the experiment. The composition of the DGLA diet used this ti...
