| 20120066777 | TEST AGENT FOR VISCERAL OBESITY AND USE THEREOF - Disclosed are: a method for detecting (diagnosing) visceral obesity in a subject; a test agent useful for the method; a method for searching for a substance that can be used as an active ingredient for ameliorating visceral obesity; and an ameliorating agent for visceral obesity or a medicinal agent for preventing a metabolic disease developed as a result of the progression of visceral obesity. As the test agent, a polynucleotide which comprises at least 15 nucleotides and can hybridize with a nucleotide sequence for coiled-coil domain containing protein 3 (CCDC3) gene or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the nucleotide sequence under stringent conditions or an antibody capable of recognizing CCDC3 protein is used. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20100285994 | GOLD NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITION, DNA CHIP, NEAR INFRARED ABSORBENT, DRUG CARRIER FOR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM (DDS), COLORING AGENT, BIOSENSOR, COSMETIC, COMPOSITION FOR IN VIVO DIAGNOSIS AND COMPOSITION FOR THERAPEUTIC USE - A gold nanoparticle composition is provided that includes a spherical gold nanoparticle and an organic ligand molecule. The organic ligand molecule bonds to the gold nanoparticle. Thus, the gold nanoparticle composition has at least one absorption peak wavelength (plasmon absorption wavelength) within the region of 600-1000 nm. Consequently, the gold nanoparticle composition self-heats when irradiated with electromagnetic waves having a wavelength of 600-1000 nm. | 11-11-2010 |
