Fat Accumulation Inhibitor
To provide a fat accumulation inhibitor and a food or drink for inhibiting fat accumulation, a visceral fat accumulation inhibitor and a food or drink for inhibiting visceral fat accumulation, or an agent for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood and a food or drink for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood. A fat accumulation inhibitor for a fat cell, which comprises a milk-derived phospholipid as an active ingredient, and a food or drink for inhibiting fat accumulation in a fat cell, which comprises a milk-derived phospholipid. A visceral fat accumulation inhibitor comprising a sphingosine-containing phospholipid or a derivative thereof as an active ingredient, and a food or drink for inhibiting visceral fat accumulation. An agent for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood, which comprises a sphingosine-containing phospholipid or a derivative thereof as an active ingredient, and a food or drink for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood.
1 . A fat accumulation inhibitor for a fat cell, which comprises a milk-derived phospholipid as an active ingredient.
2 . The fat accumulation inhibitor according to claim 1 , wherein a milk-derived phospholipid-containing composition is used as the milk-derived phospholipid, in which the milk-derived phospholipid-containing composition is prepared from a milk material and comprises a lipid in an amount of from 20 to 90% by mass based on the total solid and a phospholipid in an of from 40 to 55% by mass based on the total lipid.
3 . The fat accumulation inhibitor according to claim 2 , wherein the milk-derived phospholipid-containing composition is obtained by treating a milk or milk material with a microfiltration (MF) membrane having a pore size of from 0.1 to 2.0 μm or with an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane having a fractionating molecular weight of from 5 to 500 kDa.
4 . The fat accumulation inhibitor according to claim 2 , wherein the milk-derived phospholipid-containing composition is obtained by adjusting a milk or milk material to pH of 4.0 to 5.0 by adding an acid, thereby removing a casein protein as a precipitate, and then treating with an MF membrane having a pore size of from 0.1 to 2.0 μm or with a UF membrane having a fractionating molecular weight of from 5 to 500 kDa.
5 . The fat accumulation inhibitor according to any one of claims 2 to 4 , wherein the milk or milk material is a butter serum or a butter milk.
6 . A visceral fat accumulation inhibitor, which comprises a sphingosine-containing phospholipid and/or a derivative thereof as an active ingredient.
7 . The visceral fat accumulation inhibitor according to claim 6 , wherein the sphingosine-containing phospholipid is sphingomyelin.
8 . An agent for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood, which comprises a sphingosine-containing phospholipid and/or a derivative thereof as an active ingredient.
9 . The agent for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood according to claim 8 , wherein the sphingosine-containing phospholipid is sphingomyelin.
10 . A food or drink for inhibition of fat accumulation in a fat cell, which comprises a milk-derived phospholipid.
11 . A food or drink for inhibition of visceral fat accumulation, which comprises a sphingosine-containing phospholipid and/or a derivative thereof.
12 . The food or drink for inhibition of visceral fat accumulation according to claim 11 , wherein the sphingosine-containing phospholipid is sphingomyelin.
13 . A food or drink for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood, which comprises a sphingosine-containing phospholipid and/or a derivative thereof.
14 . The food or drink for accelerating increase and/or inhibiting decrease of an adiponectin concentration in blood according to claim 13 , wherein the sphingosine-containing phospholipid is sphingomyelin.
