食事性脂質吸収阻害用組成物  Composition for inhibiting dietary lipid absorption
技術分野  Technical field
[0001] 本発明は、食事中に含まれる脂質の吸収を阻害することができ、従って、抗脂質血 症、抗肥満などの作用を期待できる組成物に関する。  The present invention relates to a composition that can inhibit the absorption of lipids contained in meals and can therefore be expected to have effects such as antilipidemia and antiobesity.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 近年、食生活の欧米化に伴い、 日本人の脂質、特に動物性脂肪の摂取量は増加 してレ、る。平成 14年国民栄養調査結果 (厚生労働省)によれば、エネルギー摂取量に 占める脂質からのエネルギー割合である脂肪エネルギー比は、 20— 40歳代で成人 の適正比率の上限である 25%を上回っている。  [0002] In recent years, with the westernization of dietary habits, the intake of Japanese lipids, particularly animal fats, has increased. According to the results of the 2002 National Nutrition Survey (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare), the fat-to-energy ratio, which is the proportion of energy intake from lipids, exceeds the upper limit of the appropriate ratio for adults in their 20s and 40s, which is 25%. ing.
[0003] 脂質摂取量の増加は、肥満、循環器系疾患 (例えば動脈硬化症、冠動脈疾患、狭 心症、心筋梗塞、脳梗塞など)、糖尿病などの発症につながる。特に、肥満は、循環 器系疾患、呼吸器系疾患、糖尿病などの様々な合併症を惹起するリスクファクターで ある。これらの疾患の発症を予防する観点からも、肥満の予防および治療は、医療分 野における重要な課題となっている。  [0003] An increase in lipid intake leads to the onset of obesity, cardiovascular diseases (eg, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, etc.), diabetes and the like. In particular, obesity is a risk factor that causes various complications such as cardiovascular, respiratory, and diabetes. From the viewpoint of preventing the development of these diseases, prevention and treatment of obesity has become an important issue in the medical field.
[0004] このように脂質の過剰摂取、これに伴われる肥満、それに続く各種合併症の発症な どを抑制或いは防止する方法としては、一般に食事をコントロールする方法 (食事療 法)、脂肪代替品を摂取する方法、食欲抑制剤を投与して食欲を抑制する方法 (薬 物療法)、運動によって摂取エネルギーの消費を高める方法 (運動療法)などが知ら れている。実際にこれらの方法は肥満対策として採用されてきている。  [0004] As a method for suppressing or preventing the overdose of lipid, the obesity associated therewith, and the subsequent onset of various complications, there are generally a method of controlling diet (diet therapy), a method of replacing fat, and the like. There are known methods of ingesting food, suppressing appetite by administering an appetite suppressant (drug therapy), and increasing exercise energy consumption by exercising (exercise therapy). In fact, these methods have been adopted as measures against obesity.
[0005] し力、しながら、食事療法は、過度な制限食を強いるものであることが多ぐ長期間に 亘ってこの療法を実行するのは困難である。脂肪代替品を摂取する方法に関しては 、現在各種の脂肪代替品が開発されてはいるが、いずれの脂質代替品も特に味の 面で満足できず、従ってこの方法はその実施がかなり困難である。薬物療法に用い られる食欲抑制剤としては、例えばマジンドール (mazindol,チバガイギ一一ノバルテ イス社、商品名:「サノレックス (Sanorex™)」)、フェンフルラミン(fenfluramine,商品名:「 ポンジミン (Pondimin™)」, Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories)などが知られている。しかしな がら、これらの薬物は医師の指導下でしか利用できなレ、。カロえて、これらの薬物は、 その副作用が種々報告されている。従って、この薬物療法には危険が伴われる (非特 許文献 1参照)。運動療法は、過剰な運動によってエネルギーを消費させるものである[0005] However, diets, which often force an excessive diet, are difficult to carry out over long periods of time. Regarding the method of ingesting fat substitutes, although various fat substitutes are currently being developed, none of the lipid substitutes is particularly satisfactory in terms of taste, so this method is quite difficult to implement. . Appetite suppressants used in drug therapy include, for example, mazindol (China Geigy Novartis, Inc., trade name: Sanorex ™), fenfluramine (trade name: Pondimin ™) And Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories). But However, these drugs are only available under the guidance of a doctor. Calorie, various side effects of these drugs have been reported. Therefore, this pharmacotherapy carries risks (see Non-Patent Document 1). Exercise therapy consumes energy through excessive exercise
。この方法は、食事療法と併用することによって、良好な効果を期待できる。しかしな がら、管理された厳しい計画下に長期的な継続が必要であり、やはりその実施には 困難が伴われる。 . This method can be expected to have good effects when used in combination with diet therapy. However, long-term continuity is required under a controlled and rigorous plan, and implementation is also difficult.
[0006] 以上のように、従来の肥満対策のための方法は、いずれも患者にとってその実施の 困難なものである。このような肥満対策に代わって、過剰に脂質を摂取する場合も、 生体内に脂肪を蓄積させない作用 (脂質の吸収を阻害する作用乃至脂質の***を 促進する作用)を奏する新しい機能性製剤乃至飲食品の研究、開発が進められてい る。  [0006] As described above, all of the conventional methods for countermeasures against obesity are difficult for patients to implement. In place of such measures against obesity, even when excessively ingesting lipids, new functional preparations that have the effect of preventing fat from accumulating in the living body (the effect of inhibiting lipid absorption or the action of promoting lipid excretion) Research and development of food and drink are underway.
[0007] この研究、開発によって見出された一つの機能性製剤乃至飲食品の代表例として は、キトサンを利用する製品が挙げられる。この製品に用いられるキトサンに脂質蓄 積阻害作用があり、該製品が脂質蓄積阻害剤として有効であることは、例えば非特 許文献 2及び 3、特許文献 1-4などに記載されている。また、キトサンとダルコマンナン との併用がコレステロール低下作用を奏することも報告されている(非特許文献 4参照 ) 0 [0007] A representative example of one functional preparation or food or beverage found through this research and development is a product utilizing chitosan. Chitosan used in this product has an effect of inhibiting lipid accumulation, and the fact that the product is effective as a lipid accumulation inhibitor is described in, for example, Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3, Patent Documents 1-4 and the like. Also, the combination of chitosan and Darco mannan has also been reported to exhibit the lowering effect of cholesterol (see Non-Patent Document 4) 0

Compared with the control group, an increase in total fat excretion was observed even when chitosan (comparative group 4) and locust bean gum (comparative group 5) were used alone. In contrast to these cases (comparative groups 4 and 5), experimental group 3 in which locust bean gum was used in combination with chitosan showed a further marked increase in total lipid excretion. The effect observed in this experimental group 3 was shown by a statistical analysis to be a synergistic increasing effect (marked with * in the table). In addition, the apparent fat absorption rate was significantly lower in Experimental Group 3 than in the case where chitosan (Comparative Group 4) and locust bean gum (Comparative Group 5) were used alone. This effect was shown by a statistical analysis to be a synergistic reduction effect (marked with * in the table).

[0096] 3.測定項目および測定方法 [0096] 3. Measurement Items and Measurement Methods
混餌飼料による飼育の開始から 24— 27日目の 3日間に亘つて、実験例 1と同様にし て各群ラットの糞を回収し、糞便中の総脂質含量 (g/3日間)を測定した。また、同時に 糞便中のトリグリセライド含量 (mg/3日間)および遊離脂肪酸含量 Eq/3日間)を測定 した。  From the start of breeding on a mixed feed, the feces of each group of rats were collected for 3 days from the start of breeding on days 24 to 27 in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, and the total lipid content in feces (g / 3 days) was measured. . At the same time, triglyceride content (mg / 3 days) and free fatty acid content Eq / 3 days in feces were measured.
糞便中トリグリセライド含量は、 Fletcher法(Clin. Chim. Acta, 22, 393, 1968)に従つ て測定した。糞便中遊離脂肪酸含量は、実験例 1に示す Folchの方法により得られる 抽出液 (Folch抽出液)を乾固して得られた残渣をサンプルとして、市販の測定キット (NEFA C-テストヮコー™(NEFA C- test wako™) ;和光純薬 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd))を用いて測定した。  The triglyceride content in feces was measured according to the Fletcher method (Clin. Chim. Acta, 22, 393, 1968). The fecal free fatty acid content was determined using a residue obtained by drying an extract obtained by the Folch method (Folch extract) shown in Experimental Example 1 as a sample, and using a commercially available measurement kit (NEFA C-Test II Co ™ (NEFA C-test wako ™); measured using Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.
[0097] また、飼育開始直前と飼育期間終了時に、電子天秤にて各群ラットの体重を測定し 、体重増加量 ( A g)を算出した。更に、試験期間中、毎日、各群ラットの摂餌量を測定 し、その合計量 (総摂餌量、 g)を算出した。一日の摂餌量は、各群ラットに与える毎日 の飼料量から、その日に残った飼料量を差し引いた値とした。上記で得られた体重 増加量 (Eとする)および総摂餌量 (Fとする)から、下式に従って食餌効率 (g/100g飼料) を算出した。 [0097] Immediately before the start of breeding and at the end of the breeding period, the weight of each group of rats was measured using an electronic balance, and the weight gain (Ag) was calculated. In addition, the food consumption of each group of rats was measured every day during the test period. The total amount (total food consumption, g) was calculated. The daily food intake was the value obtained by subtracting the amount of food left on the day from the amount of daily food given to each group of rats. From the weight gain (E) and total food intake (F) obtained above, the diet efficiency (g / 100g feed) was calculated according to the following equation.
[0098] 食餌効率 (g/100g飼料) =E÷F X 100  [0098] Diet efficiency (g / 100g feed) = E ÷ F X 100
更に、飼育期間の終了後(28日目)に、各群ラットを屠殺し、肝臓重量 (g)および腎 周囲脂肪組織重量 (g)を測定し、体重 100g当たりの各臓器重量 (g/100g体重)を算出 した。また、肝臓中のトリグリセライド量 (g)を Folchらの方法により脂質を抽出した後、 Fletcher法 (Clin. Chim. Acta, 22, 393, 1968)により測定し、肝臓 lg当たりのトリグリセ ライド量 (g/g肝臓)を算出した。  Further, after the end of the breeding period (day 28), the rats in each group were sacrificed, and the liver weight (g) and the perirenal adipose tissue weight (g) were measured, and the weight of each organ per 100 g of body weight (g / 100 g) was measured. Weight) was calculated. The amount of triglyceride in the liver (g) was measured by the Fletcher method (Clin. Chim. Acta, 22, 393, 1968) after extracting lipids by the method of Folch et al. / g liver) was calculated.
