Suntory Finds that Oolong Tea-derived Polymerized Polyphenol Has Anti-obesity Effect.Tokyo, Japan, May 23, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Suntory announced on May 22 that it has found a unique property of polymerized polyphenol polyphenol Any of various alcohols containing two or more benzene rings that each have at least one hydroxyl group (OH) attached. Many polyphenols occur naturally in plants and some kinds, such as the flavonoids and tannins, are believed to be beneficial derived from oolong oo·long n. A dark Chinese tea that has been partially fermented before drying. [Chinese (Mandarin) w tea. The company's R&D unit has confirmed that oolong-tea polymerized polyphenol demonstrates an anti-obesity effect in experiments with mice. Specifically, mice administered with a polymerized polyphenol-added high-fat and sugar diet showed the dose-dependent inhibition inhibition In enzymology, a phenomenon in which a compound (an inhibitor), usually similar in structure to the substance on which an enzyme acts (substrate), interacts with the enzyme so that the resulting complex cannot undergo the usual reaction or cannot form the usual of weight and body fat. Details of the research were presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Food Science. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
