Benefits of technology

[0136] According to the present invention, body fat can be safely and effectively reduced by ingesting the diet food, so as to effectively prevent or improve an adult disease disposition such as obesity, diabetes or hyperlipidemia.

Problems solved by technology

However, recent problems in daily eating habits are excessive food ingestion and shortage in energy consumption, and there are demands for health care to prevent or improve obesity and arterial sclerosis, and hence, a variety of diet foods, supplements and alimentary therapies are now being earnestly studied.

embodiment 1

[0143] The diet food of this invention includes a mixture of an ω-3 PUFA and at least one of L-arginine, L-ornithine, an L-arginine precursor and an L-ornithine precursor.

[0144] The ω-3 PUFA of this embodiment may be in a form of free acid or a form suitable for physiological supply of the ω-3 PUFA such as a form of triglyceride. Particularly preferable examples of the ω-3 PUFA of this embodiment are eicosapentaenoic acid (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “EPA”) and docosahexaenoic acid (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “DHA”). Such an ω-3 PUFA is included in a comparatively high ratio in linseed oil or fish oil such as menhaden oil, salmon oil, mackerel oil, cod liver oil or anchovy oil.

[0145] The L-arginine precursor or the L-ornithine precursor of this embodiment includes small peptide rich in L-arginine or L-ornithine, respectively. Also, the L-arginine or the L-ornithine may be in a free form or a salt together with, for example, phosphoric acid, citric acid, tartaric...

embodiment 2

[0161] A diet food of this embodiment includes a mixture of ω-6 PUFA and at least one of L-arginine, L-ornithine, an L-arginine precursor and an L-ornithine precursor.

[0162] The ω-6 PUFA of this embodiment may be in a form of free acid or in a form of triglyceride suitable for physiological supply of the ω-6 PUFA.

[0163] Particularly preferable examples of the ω-6 PUFA of this embodiment are linolenic acid and arachidonic acid, and linolenic acid is the most preferred. The preferable ω-6 PUFA is included in a comparatively high ratio in vegetable oil such as safflower oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, cotton seed oil or corn oil.

[0164] Also the diet food of this embodiment is administered to a taker in the form of a supplement or in the form where it is added to general food as in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0165] With respect to an intake per day of the diet food of this embodiment, the amount of the ω-6 PUFA generally supplied to an adult over a treatment period is preferably...

embodiment 3

[0177] A diet food of this embodiment includes a mixture of at least one of diacylglycerol, middle or short chain fatty acid and phytosterol and at least one of L-arginine, L-ornithine, an L-arginine precursor and an L-ornithine precursor.

[0178] In this embodiment, the diacylglycrol is two molecules of fatty acid bonded to one molecule of glycerin and has a property that it is minimally re-synthesized into fat after being absorbed into a body.

[0179] Among medium or short chain fatty acids, those having a carbon number of 8 through 10 or not more than 8 have a higher water-soluble property than a general long chain fatty acid and are easily combusted.

[0180] The phytosterol has a property to dissolve in bile acid and has a function to reduce the absorption of general cholesterol.

[0181] The actions and effects of the L-arginine, the L-ornithine, the L-arginine precursor and the L-ornithine precursor of this embodiment are the same as those described in each of the above-described e...

Abstract

The diet food of this invention having effects to reduce body weight and prevent / improve obesity and atherosclerotic or metabolic disorders includes an ω-3 PUFA or an ω-6 PUFA, and at least one of L-arginine, L-ornithine, an L-arginine precursor and an L-ornithine precursor, and further includes diacylglycerol, a middle or short chain fatty acid, a phytosterol, a nucleo-base, a nucleoside, a nucleic acid, dextrin, various vitamins, various minerals or a probiotics material.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a diet food having effects to reduce body weight and prevent / improve obesity and adult diseases, i.e., cardiovascular disorders, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, namely DIET. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Recently, there are increasing cases where diatheses of obesity, hyperlipemia, diabetes and hypertension are factors to affect or aggravate various diseases arising from a variety of circulatory or metabolic disorders. Specifically, although the human race originally has a genetic mechanism for coping with starvation (thrifty genes), the mechanism for coping with excessive food ingestion is merely a hypoglycemic action of insulin. However, recent problems in daily eating habits are excessive food ingestion and shortage in energy consumption, and there are demands for health care to prevent or improve obesity and arterial sclerosis, and hence, a variety of diet foods, supplements and alimentary therapies are now being earnestly studied.
