AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a testosterone enhancer that can be used in medicines, supplements, functional foods, and health foods. It can be in tablet or capsule form and can be directly added to common processed foods or taken orally. The enhancer can be administered through oral ingestion, dermal administration, liquid transport, or injection. The dosage and administration can be determined based on the patient's symptoms and weight. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a natural and safe way to enhance testosterone levels in the body.

Problems solved by technology

Memory becomes poor, and strength, micturition, and male sexual functions also deteriorate.
However, the injection causes a rapid increase in the blood testosterone level and may actually cause illness.
The rapid increase in hormone levels may cause adverse side effects affecting the prostrate, blood vessels, liver, lungs, and the like.

example 1

[0044]Blood testosterone enhancement effect of the testosterone enhancer of the present invention was studied using ordinary rats. An ordinary rat is a rat in which extreme vitamin K deficiency does not occur even when feed does not include vitamin K because the rat absorbs vitamin K produced by bacteria in its intestinal tract. The ordinary rat is a model extrapolating to a human living an ordinary life.

Materials and Methods

I Preparation of Model Animals

Breeding Experimental Animals

[0045]Experimental animals and breeding conditions are as follows:

Experimental animals: ordinary rats (Wistar / Std, eight-week-old males)

Breeding environment: bred in a breeding room set to a temperature of 23° C., humidity of 50±5%, and a 12-hour light / dark cycle in which lights were turned on at 8 AM and turned off at 8 PM.

[0046]As experimental dietary groups, the following three groups were provided.

[0047](1) Low K dietary group (no vitamin K was added)

[0048](2) Control dietary group (vitamin K1 of 0.7...

example 2

Materials and Methods

[0107]As in Example 1, the experimental animals and breeding conditions were ordinary rats (Wistar / Std, eight-week-old males) bred in a breeding room set to a temperature of 23° C., humidity of 50±5%, and a 12-hour light / dark cycle in which lights were turned on at 8 AM and turned off at 8 PM.

[0108]As experimental dietary groups, the following three groups were provided.

(1) Control dietary group (vitamin K1 of 0.75 mg / kg was added)

(2) Vitamin K1 added dietary group (vitamin K1 of 75 mg / kg was added)

(3) MK-4 added dietary group (menaquinone-4 of 75 mg / kg was added)

[0109]Vitamin K1 was purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. Menaquinone-4 from Nisshin Pharma Inc. was used. Vitamin K1 or menaquinone-4 was added to each experimental diet to achieve the composition proportions shown in Table 1 and evenly mixed.

[0110]The breeding period was 35 days. Blood was drawn from tail veins every week at 18 o'clock. Measurements of weight, diet intake, testis vitamin...

Abstract

Provided is a substance which is a safer and more commonly-consumed food ingredient that increase the testosterone level. The testosterone enhancer of the invention comprises vitamin K as an active ingredient. The vitamin is preferably menaquinone-4 and / or menaquinone-7. This enhancer is useful as pharmaceutical agents, supplements, health foods or functional foods for the prevention, amelioration and / or treatment of a condition or disease induced by the decreased testosterone level.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](1) Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a testosterone enhancer. In particular, the present invention relates to a composition that increases endogenous testosterone.[0003](2) Description of Related Art[0004]Testosterone, which is a type of androgenic hormone, widely contributes to muscle growth, cognitive functions, blood vessel flexibility, lipid metabolism, reproductive functions, and the like. Although testosterone secretion decreases with age, presence of endocrine disruptors also affects secretion. A recent DNA microarray analysis of germ-free rats in an extreme vitamin K deficient state suggests a possibility of menaquinone-4 contributing to testosterone biosynthesis (8th Vitamin K and Bone Meeting Records, pages 87 to 89, Dec. 10, 2005, Eisai Co., Ltd.; and Shirakawa, et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta Vitamin K deficiency reduces testosterone production in the testis through down-regulation of the Cyp11a a cholesterol si...
