76results about How to "Inhibit fat accumulation" patented technology

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods used to modulate a NH₂-terminal Jun Kinase activity. These compositions and methods can be employed to regulate metabolic disorders associated with, for example, insulin such as diabetes. The reduction in NH₂-terminal Jun Kinase activity can lead to the reduction in weight and improve insulin sensitivity.

The present invention relates to a muscular strength enhancing agent produced from fruits, and provides a strength enhancing agent or a body-fat regulating agent, derived from natural products, that may enhance muscle strength, decrease body fat or suppress body-fat accumulation without decreasing the amount of skeletal muscle or the weight of viscus; more specifically, a polyphenol produced from fruits is used to provide muscular strength enhancing agents or body-fat regulating agents, foods/beverages and pharmaceuticals that may enhance muscular strength, decrease body fat or suppress body-fat accumulation. Strength enhancing agents or body-fat regulating agents effective to enhance muscular strength, of which active component being a polyphenol derived from fruits, and foods/beverages and pharmaceuticals containing them.

Methods, pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and nutraceutical compositions, and compounds for reducing body weight, modulating body lipid metabolism, and reducing food intake in mammals are provided. The compounds of the invention include fatty acid ethanolamide compounds, homologues and analogs of which the prototype is the endogenous fatty acid ethanolamide, oleoylethanolamide.

A method for performing a medical procedure in an intestine of a patient is provided. The method comprises providing a system comprising: a catheter for insertion into the intestine, the catheter comprising: an elongate shaft comprising a distal portion; and a functional assembly positioned on the shaft distal portion and comprising at least one treatment element. The catheter is introduced into the patient, and target tissue is treated with the at least one treatment element. The target tissue comprises mucosal tissue of the small intestine, and the medical procedure can be configured to treat one or more diseases or disorders based on a measured physiologic parameter of the patient.

A novel, new, and highly effective agent for promoting fat degradation that contains astaxanthin and/or an ester thereof as active ingredient is provided. The agent for promoting fat degradation of the present invention has an effect of reducing fat by lipolysis of fat in either a subject who is in a condition in which fat has already accumulated or a subject who is in a condition in which fat has not yet been accumulated. Accordingly, the agent for promoting fat degradation of the present invention can restore hypertrophied adipocytes to a normal size.

The invention provides a spinach salty biscuit. The spinach salty biscuit is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60 to 66 parts of whole wheat flour, 20 to 25 parts of radix pueraria, 5 to 10 parts of adlay seed powder, 5 to 6 parts of folium mori, 5 to 8 parts of radix salviae miltiorrhizae, 25 to 33 parts of spinach, 10 to 14 parts of eggs, 2 to 3 parts of corn oil, 3 to 5 parts of tomato juice, 1 to 2 parts of dried yeast, 2 to 4 parts of buckwheat pollen, 1.5 to 2.2 parts of corn oligopeptides powder and 0.3 to 0.6 part of steviol glycosides. According to the spinach salty biscuit provided by the invention, spinach juice and the folium mori powder are added in the spinach salty biscuit, so that the appearance is light green, and the flavor is unique; the nutritional value of the spinach salty biscuit is ensured by a unique preparing technology, and the spinach salty biscuit is low in sugar and fat content and has an auxiliary effect after being eaten by patients suffering from diabetes and obesity; the spinach salty biscuit is comprehensive in nutrition and has a very good healthcare effect.

The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation and processing of tea leaves, and particularly relates to health-preserving bagged tea capable of reducing weight and reducing blood pressure and a preparation method of the health-preserving bagged tea. The health-preserving bagged tea capable of reducing weight and reducing blood pressure is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 6-18 parts of lotus leaves, 5-15 parts of semen cassiae, 2-8 parts of haws, 1-7 parts of coix seeds, 3-10 parts of orange peel, 15-30 parts of jasmine flowers, 10-25 parts of serrate rabdosia herbs, 15-30 parts of abrus cantoniensis, 4-10 parts of rose flowers, 1-7 parts of pseudo-ginseng, 3-8 parts of black beans, 3-8 parts of bitter citrus immature flowers and 5-12 parts of parts of cortex eucommiae leaves. According to the health-preserving bagged tea capable of reducing weight and reducing blood pressure, the components are matched with each other and promote, components beneficial for human bodies and efficacies are greatly improved, and the effect of the bagged tea disclosed by the invention is obviously better than the effect of tea including single components; besides, the bagged tea is delicately-fragrant in taste, and fresh, sweet, smooth and moisturizing in mouth feel. Overweight people can often drink the health-preserving bagged tea, the bagged tea is favorable for absorption of human bodies, and side effects cannot be generated after the bagged tea is drunk for a long term.
