A composition for treating obesity and diabetes, and for improving exercise capacity by increasing muscle mass, comprising an extract of PIPERRETROFRACTUMVAHL.FRUITS as an active ingredient
The present invention relates to a food composition, and to a pharmaceutical composition, which exhibit anti-obesity effects by means of a thermogenesis produced by an activity of a UCP of fat cells, which exhibit anti-diabetes effects by means of an improved insulin resistance, increase muscle mass, and improve capacity for exercise. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel use of a composition containing extracts of piper retrofractum, and to the food composition or pharmaceutical composition which exhibit anti-obesity effects by means of decreased body weight and body fat, exhibit anti-diabetes effects by means of ameliorated insulin resistance through the reduction of blood glucose and blood insulin, increase muscle mass by increasing an energy source being supplied to the muscles, and improve the capacity for exercise including increased endurance.本発明は、脂肪細胞のＵＣＰの活性によってもたらされる熱発生によって抗肥満効果を発揮し、向上されたインスリン抵抗性による抗糖尿病効果を発揮し、筋肉量を増大し、運動能力を向上させる食品組成物及び医薬組成物に関する。より詳細には本発明は、ヒハツモドキの抽出成分を含む組成物の新規使用、及び、低減された体重及び体脂肪によって抗肥満効果を発揮し、血中グルコース及び血中インスリンの低減による改善されたインスリン抵抗性によって抗糖尿病効果を発揮し、筋肉に供給されるエネルギー源を増大することによって筋肉量を増加し、増大した耐久性を含む運動能力を向上させる食品組成物や医薬組成物に関する。
