Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a liver function activator remarkably excellent in safety and capable of reducing increase of GOT and GPT as the index of hepatopathy even in the case of long-term continuous intake of alcohol and being mass-pro duced at low cost. CONSTITUTION:A corn protein fraction obtained from a wet milling process is treated with fresh amylase and the resultant treated material is treated with a high-alkaline protease to obtain a hydrolyzed material of the corn protein. This hydrolyzed material is composed of a peptide having 200 to 4000 molecular weight. If a small amount of this hydrolyzed material is administrated every day, increase of GOT and GPT as the index of hepatitis can be reduced even in the edge of long-term continuous intake of alcohol.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known that an increase in the chance of drinking alcohol causes acute alcohol poisoning, alcohol dependence, and liver disorders such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Alcohol and acetaldehyde, which is a metabolite thereof, can be a factor that causes changes in the metabolic system in the living body, and in particular with respect to acetaldehyde, it is said that the acetaldehyde adduct combined with the biological component causes damage to the biological system. Further, in recent years, alcoholism in women has increased, and alcohol during pregnancy causes a growth failure of the fetus, especially a growth failure of the brain, which causes a social problem. It is said that there are about 2 million alcoholics in Japan.

Alcohol contained in alcoholic beverages (ethanol,
(Hereinafter simply referred to as alcohol) has the effect of elevating the human mind and causing drowsiness, but when the amount of alcohol increases, it becomes so-called drunk. It is considered to be a weak drug that upsets the mind of the person.
However, alcohol also has a nutritional aspect as an energy source. When alcohol is ingested, most of it is converted into acetaldehyde mainly by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) existing in the liver, and acetaldehyde is converted into acetic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Most of acetic acid is said to be metabolized in vivo.

Alcohol is particularly rapidly absorbed from the stomach when fasting and is then well absorbed in the small intestine. It is said that if you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, it will be completely absorbed in 1-2 hours.
The lethal dose of alcohol poisoning is considered to be 5 mg / ml in blood for humans. Blood and brain alcohol concentrations are distributed at nearly the same level. The activity of alcohol dehydrogenase is related to the concentration of NAD,
If there is a substance that accelerates the oxidation of DH, alcohol oxidation will be promoted and alcohol metabolism will be accelerated.

On the other hand, acetaldehyde plays a role as an intermediate metabolite of alcohol, and causes poisoning symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting such as vomiting. In the case of chronic alcoholics, blood acetaldehyde increases due to a decrease in liver acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity.
It is said that this increased acetaldehyde causes liver damage. It has been confirmed that GOT and GPT are elevated in liver damage caused by long-term alcohol intake. If these GOT and GPT decrease, it is considered that the liver function is normalizing.
