20100130435 | UTILIZATION OF THE FUNCTION OF RARE SUGAR AS PROMOTER FOR THE MIGRATION OF GLUCOKINASE FROM NUCLEUS TO CYTOPLASM - Screening for a glucokinase-activating substance among rare sugars and providing a composition for treating disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity, the composition containing the glucokinase-activating substance as the active ingredient. A promoting agent of glucokinase transfer from nucleus to cytoplasm, the promoting agent containing D-psicose and/or D-tagatose as the active ingredient, or a composition for preventing the onset of disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity or for therapeutically treating the disordered conditions, which is in a form selected from a group consisting of food additives, food materials, drinks and foods, health drinks and foods, pharmaceutical product and feeds in blend with D-psicose and/or D-tagatose as the active ingredient for use in preventing the onset of disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity or for therapeutically treating the disordered conditions. The disordered conditions in association with glucokinase activity are selected from impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, abnormal lipidemia, the metabolic syndrome and obesity. The composition is in a pharmaceutical form, and contains D-psicose and/or D-tagatose together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. | 05-27-2010 |
20100222284 | COMPOSITION FOR INHIBITING THE ONSET OF ARTERIOSCLEROSIS AND INHIBITION METHOD - [Object] To provide a composition for inhibiting the onset of arteriosclerosis by using a rare sugar D-psicose and a method of inhibiting the onset of arteriosclerosis. | 09-02-2010 |
20120094940 | PROCESS OF PRODUCING SUGAR COMPOSITION COMPRISING DEFINITE AMOUNT OF TARGET HEXOSE AND HAVING SUGAR CONSTITUTION DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF STARTING SUGAR MATERIAL AND USE OF PRODUCED SUGAR COMPOSITION | 04-19-2012 |
20120329735 | LIFESPAN EXTENDING AGENT - A lifespan extending agent that is safe for animals, and can easily be ingested in a form that resembles foods. A lifespan extending method is also disclosed. In the lifespan extending agent, a rare sugar usable as a sweetener is contained as an active ingredient. | 12-27-2012 |
20130012459 | COMPOSITION FOR INHIBITING THE ONSET OF ARTERIOSCLEROSIS AND INHIBITION METHOD - A composition for inhibiting the onset of arteriosclerosis is characterized by comprising D-psicose as an active ingredient for an antiatherogenic action. The antiatherogenic action as described above includes an action of inhibiting or reducing the expression of a chemokine or a cytokine related to arteriosclerosis in vivo and an action of promoting the expression of a receptor involved in the improvement of arteriosclerosis without affecting the expression of an arteriosclerosis inducer. This composition is used in the form of a product selected from the group consisting of sweeteners, seasonings, food additives, food materials, foods and drinks, health foods and drinks, drugs, quasi drugs and feeds blended with D-psicose and/or its derivative and/or a mixture thereof as the active ingredient. The method of inhibiting the onset of arteriosclerosis is a method of using the above composition. | 01-10-2013 |
20130274350 | NOVEL SWEETENER HAVING SUCROSE-LIKE TASTE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND USE OF THE SAME - To develop a method for producing a novel sweetener containing glucose, fructose, and psicose, which is produced from glucose liquid sugar using an isomerase and an epimerase; use of the novel sweetener as a food or drink material; and a novel sweetener capable of preventing obesity caused by the intake thereof. An isomerase and an epimerase are allowed to act on glucose liquid sugar produced in a glucose liquid sugar production plant to thereby produce D-psicose, thereby providing a novel sweetener (product) that maintains the degree and quality of sweetness of a glucose-fructose mixed solution and never causes obesity, a method for producing the same, and use of the same. | 10-17-2013 |
20130344008 | NONCARIOUS MATERIAL AND ANTICARIOUS AGENT CONTAINING RARE SUGAR - To provide a composition for preventing periodontal diseases (prophylactic agent of periodontal diseases), the composition having an excellent cariostatic property, being safe and stable for prolonged use and having less effects on flavor. A non-cariogenic material prepared by blending a rare sugar in the D form as selected from the group consisting of D-psicose, D-sorbose and D-tagatose, a rare sugar in the L form as selected from L-fructose, L-psicose and L-tagatose, or allitol as a rare sugar derivative, singly or in combination. A cariostatic agent comprising D-psicose, D-sorbose, D-tagatose, L-fructose, L-psicose and/or L-tagatose. A cariostatic agent in combination with catechins. | 12-26-2013 |
