Composition for enhancing NAMPT gene expression
View Patent ↗An object of the present disclosure is at least to provide a technique for enhancing expression of a NAMPT gene. The object is achieved by a composition for enhancing NAMPT gene expression, the composition containing an equol compound as an active ingredient.
1 . A method for enhancing NAMPT gene expression in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering an effective amount of an equol compound to the subject, wherein the equol compound is represented by formula (1) or a mixture of equol compounds represented by formula (1):
where R 1 to R 7 each represent a hydroxyl group or a hydrogen atom.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the equol compound is comprised in a composition.
3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the composition is a food or beverage product.
4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical product.
5 . A method for preventing or ameliorating sarcopenia, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or a viral infection in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering an effective amount of an equol compound to the subject, wherein the equol compound is represented by formula (1) or a mixture of equol compounds represented by formula (1):
where R 1 to R 7 each represent a hydroxyl group or a hydrogen atom.
6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the equol compound is comprised in a composition.
7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the composition is a food or beverage product.
8 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical product.
9 . A method for anti-aging in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering an effective amount of an equol compound to the subject, wherein the equol compound is represented by formula (1) or a mixture of equol compounds represented by formula (1):
where R 1 to R 7 each represent a hydroxyl group or a hydrogen atom.
10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the equol compound is comprised in a composition.
11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the composition is a food or beverage product.
12 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical product.
13 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the equol compound comprises at least an equol compound represented by formula (2)
14 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the equol compound comprises at least an equol compound represented by formula (2)
15 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the equol compound comprises at least an equol compound represented by formula (2)
