Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】本発明は、骨成長及び骨強化作用を有する卵由来水溶性画分を含有する組成物に関する。また、本発明は、この卵由来水溶性組成物を配合した飲食品、医薬品、又は飼料に関する。本発明の卵由来水溶性画分は骨芽細胞を増殖させ、骨の成長端における軟骨細胞の増殖も促進させる作用を有するので、骨代謝のバランスが崩れて起こる骨疾患の予防や治療や、学童など若年層において成長期の骨強化に有用である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】近年の骨粗鬆症の増加や若年層での骨折率の増加など各種骨疾患の増加が社会問題となっている。骨粗鬆症の患者は全国に約1000万人いると推定されており、高齢化の進行により2010年には患者数が1600万人に達するとの予測もある。骨粗鬆症は、主に閉経後の女性において、女性ホルモンの減少の影響から骨形成と骨破壊のバランスが崩れ起こる疾患として注目されているが、男性でも老齢化に伴い骨塩量の減少が見られ、現在でも50歳以上で約200万人の骨粗鬆症患者がいる。また、最近20年で小中学生の骨折率は2倍以上に増加しており、骨粗鬆症を予防すると言う見地からも若年期にしっかりと骨塩量を高めて、より高い最大骨量を得ることは非常に重要である。このように、いまや骨の健康を保つことは性別や年齢の関係なく全社会的な関心事である。
【0003】
従来より骨の疾患を予防あるいは治療する方法として、食餌療法によるカルシウム補給、軽い運動、日光浴、薬物治療等が行われている。食餌療法によるカルシウム補給には、炭酸カルシウム、リン酸カルシウム等のカルシウム塩や、牛骨粉、卵殻、魚骨粉等の天然カルシウム剤が使用されているが、溶解性や吸収性、呈味性の点で必ずしも経口摂取に適している素材であるとはいえない。適度な運動は、骨量を増やし、骨を強化するので、散歩やウオーキングは骨の健康によいとされるが、体が弱っている場合は軽い運動も厄介なものである、まして寝たきりの老人ではほとんど運動できない。日光浴は活性化ビタミンD3の補給と言う点ではよいとされているが、これだけでは不十分である。薬物投与には、ビスホスホネートやカルシトニン製剤等が使用されており、骨粗鬆症の治療には有効であると言うことが知られている。しかし、これらの物質は医薬そのものであり、その服用には特別な注意が必要で、耳鳴り、頭痛、食欲不振など副作用の危険性もあり、継続的な食品素材として使用可能なものではない。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、本発明では日常的に継続して摂取可能な骨強化剤として、骨強化作用を有し、安全、安価であり、飲食品に広く用いることが可能な食品素材を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
卵は、37℃で3週間温められるとヒヨコに変わると言う現象が示すように、生体を形作るすべての材料を含み、次世代を生み出すバイオカプセルであり、まだ見出されていない生理活性も多いと考えられる。また、卵は古くからの食経験があり、そのものの栄養価も高く安全であって食品素材としての利用価値は非常に高い。
【0006】
そこで、本発明者らは、卵の様々な画分について骨成長、骨強化を促進する成分の探索を行った結果、卵黄水溶性画分に骨芽細胞増殖及び石灰化促進活性があることを初めて見出し、また、この成分を経口摂取することによって骨成長を促進し、骨代謝を改善できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】

【0021】
【実施例】
以下、実施例を挙げて本発明をより詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例により何ら限定されるものではない。
【0022】
実施例1(有機溶媒による抽出)
卵黄粉末500gにエタノール2.5lを加え、ブレンダーで30分間攪拌したのち固形物を回収した。この操作を3回繰り返して卵黄から脱脂を行った。この結果、風乾したのちに284gの脱脂卵黄を得た。この脱脂卵黄粉末に37℃の温水3lを加えて、温度を保ちながらスターラーでよく攪拌した後、8,000rpm、30分間の遠心分離を行い、上清を得た。そして、凍結乾燥で粉末化して、13.4gの卵黄水溶性組成物を得た。
【0023】
実施例2(カラギナンによる抽出)
卵黄粉末500gに1%ガンマカラギナン液を3L加え、軽く攪拌した後、30分間静置すると凝集が見られる。この後、8,000rpm、30分間の遠心分離を行い上清を得た。これを凍結乾燥で粉末化して、14.8gの卵黄水溶性組成物を得た。
【0024】
実施例1、2で得られた水溶性組成物は、以下の条件のゲル濾過クロマトグラフィーで分子量の分析を行った。

試験例2(骨成長促進活性)
実施例1で得られた卵黄水溶性組成物の骨成長促進活性を以下のようにして測定した。骨成長促進活性は、Sprague−Dawley系ラットを用いて評価した。試料を20mg/mlの濃度で精製水に溶かし、ラットに20または100mg/kg体重/1日摂取させた。試験期間中のラットの飲料水と飼料は自由摂取とし、基本飼料としてMF(商品名、オリエンタル酵母社製)を用いた。試料摂取期間(1週間)中の3日目と5日目にそれぞれ蛍光物質としてテトラサイクリンを投与した。この試験例においてはテトラサイクリンがカルシウムをキレートし、骨に沈着される現象を利用して、骨に形成される蛍光ラインを観察することにより脛骨の卵タンパク質組成物による成長促進効果を測定した。脛骨を摘出し、テトラサイクリンを投与により脛骨成長板の下部、骨新生部に形成された各蛍光線間の長さ、すなわち成長した長さを測定した。卵黄由来水溶性組成物を与えた場合と基本試料(対照群)を与えた場合の骨の伸長を比較し促進効果を評価した。顕鏡観察の結果、卵黄由来水溶性組成物群でコントロール群に対して2本の染色バンドの間隔がコントロールと比較して30%広く、骨伸長促進活性があると確認された。
【0030】
試験例3(軟骨細胞増殖能を評価する動物試験)
実施例1、2で得られた卵黄水溶性組成物の生体における軟骨細胞増殖能を以下のようにして行った。軟骨細胞増殖能の評価は、細胞周期中のDNA合成能、細胞増殖能を表すブロモデオキシウリジン(BrdU)を用いた取り込み実験により行った。実施例1、2で得られた卵黄水溶性組成物をSprague−Dawleyラットに対し100mg/kg体重/一日の割合で摂取させた。試験期間中のラットの飲料水と飼料は自由摂取とし、飼料としてMF(商品名、オリエンタル酵母社製)を用いた。摂取期間(1週間)の後、BrdUを腹腔内投与(BrdU 50mg/kg)し、投与2時間後に麻酔したラットから脛骨を摘出し成長板の軟骨細胞へのBrdUの取り込みを抗BrdU抗体を用いる免疫染色法により測定した。試料摂取群ではBrdU取り込み活性がコントロールに比べて有意に高かった。このことは試料摂取により軟骨細胞の増殖活性が高くなることを示しており、骨の成長が促進されることが見出された。(図2)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composition containing an egg-derived water-soluble fraction having bone growth and bone strengthening actions. Moreover, this invention relates to the food-drinks, pharmaceuticals, or feed which mix | blended this egg origin water-soluble composition. The egg-derived water-soluble fraction of the present invention has the effect of proliferating osteoblasts and also promoting the proliferation of chondrocytes at the growth end of bone, so that the prevention and treatment of bone diseases caused by the loss of bone metabolism balance, It is useful for bone strengthening during the growth period in young people such as school children.
[0002]
2. Description of the Related Art An increase in various bone diseases such as an increase in osteoporosis in recent years and an increase in the fracture rate in young people has become a social problem. It is estimated that there are about 10 million patients with osteoporosis nationwide, and it is predicted that the number of patients will reach 16 million in 2010 due to the progress of aging. Osteoporosis is attracting attention as a disease in which the balance between bone formation and bone destruction is disrupted mainly by postmenopausal women due to the effects of decreased female hormones. Currently, there are about 2 million osteoporosis patients over 50 years old. In addition, the fracture rate of elementary and junior high school students has more than doubled in the last 20 years, and from the standpoint of preventing osteoporosis, it is important to increase bone mineral content firmly in younger years and obtain a higher maximum bone mass. Very important. Thus, maintaining bone health is now a social concern regardless of gender or age.
[0003]
Conventional methods for preventing or treating bone diseases include dietary calcium supplementation, light exercise, sunbathing, and drug treatment. Calcium supplementation by dietary therapy uses calcium salts such as calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate, and natural calcium preparations such as beef bone meal, eggshell, and fish bone meal, but they are not necessarily soluble, absorbable, and tasty. It is not a material suitable for oral intake. Moderate exercise increases bone mass and strengthens bones, so walking and walking are said to be good for bone health, but light exercise is also troublesome if the body is weak, even bedridden elderly people I can hardly exercise. Sunbathing is considered good in terms of supplementing activated vitamin D3, but this alone is not sufficient. Bisphosphonates and calcitonin preparations are used for drug administration and are known to be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis. However, these substances are medicines themselves, and special care is required for taking them, and there is a risk of side effects such as tinnitus, headache, and loss of appetite, and they cannot be used as a continuous food material.

[0029]
Test Example 2 (Bone growth promoting activity)
The bone growth promoting activity of the egg yolk water-soluble composition obtained in Example 1 was measured as follows. Bone growth promoting activity was evaluated using Sprague-Dawley rats. Samples were dissolved in purified water at a concentration of 20 mg / ml and rats were fed 20 or 100 mg / kg body weight / day. Rat drinking water and feed during the test period were freely consumed, and MF (trade name, manufactured by Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.) was used as the basic feed. Tetracycline was administered as a fluorescent substance on the third and fifth days of the sample intake period (one week), respectively. In this test example, the growth promoting effect by the egg protein composition of the tibia was measured by observing the fluorescence line formed in the bone by utilizing the phenomenon that tetracycline chelates calcium and is deposited on the bone. The tibia was removed, and tetracycline was administered to measure the length between the fluorescent lines formed at the lower part of the tibia growth plate and at the new bone part, that is, the length of growth. The promotion effect was evaluated by comparing the bone elongation when the egg yolk-derived water-soluble composition was given and when the basic sample (control group) was given. As a result of microscopic observation, the interval between the two stained bands in the yolk-derived water-soluble composition group was 30% wider than that in the control group, and it was confirmed that there was activity to promote bone elongation.
