METHOD FOR INHIBITING ACCUMULATION OF VISCERAL FAT
Disclosed is: a visceral fat accumulation inhibitor or a food or drink for inhibiting the accumulation of a visceral fat, which composes a fat globule membrane component as an active ingredient; or a agent or food or drink for promoting the increase in the blood adiponection level and/or inhibiting the decrease in the blood adiponection level, which composes a fat globule membrane component as an active ingredient. A fat globule membrane component can inhibit the accumulation of a visceral fat, and/or can promote the increase in or inhibit the decrease in the blood adiponection level.
1 . A method of inhibiting visceral fat accumulation in a subject, comprising administering an effective amount of a fat globule membrane component to the subject.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the fat globule membrane component is in the form of a food or drink.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the fat globule membrane component is a milk fat globule membrane component.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of a fat globule membrane component is 0.1 mg to 5000 mg per day.
5 . A method of increasing blood adiponectin level and/or inhibiting a decrease in blood adiponectin level in a subject, comprising administering an effective amount of a fat globule membrane component to the subject.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the fat globule membrane component is in the form of a food or drink.
7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the fat globule membrane component is a milk fat globule membrane component.
8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the effective amount of a fat globule membrane component is 0.1 mg to 5000 mg per day.
9 . A method of treating a metabolic syndrome in a subject, comprising administering an effective amount of a fat globule membrane component to a subject in need thereof.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the metabolic syndrome is selected from the group consisting of thrombosis, insulin resistance, glucose metabolic disorder, and hypertension.
