Description

本発明は、更年期障害を予防またはその症状を改善するためのγ−アミノ酪酸を有効成分とする医薬および食品に関する。また、更年期障害を予防またはその症状を改善するためのγ−アミノ酪酸、大豆イソフラボンおよびローヤルゼリーを含有する医薬および食品に関する。   The present invention relates to a medicine and a food containing γ-aminobutyric acid as an active ingredient for preventing or improving the symptoms of menopause. The present invention also relates to a medicine and a food containing γ-aminobutyric acid, soy isoflavone and royal jelly for preventing or improving the symptoms of menopause.

更年期障害は、加齢過程により卵巣機能が低下し始め消失する過程において生じうる症状または障害であり、更年期症状と称されることもある。更年期障害は、卵巣機能の低下、環境的要因、心因的要因などに起因する症状であり、主に血管運動神経障害様症状、精神神経障害様症状、知覚障害症状、泌尿生殖系障害症状、運動器官障害症状、皮膚泌尿系障害症状、消化器系障害症状およびその他の症状に分類されている。これらの症状に対して、エストロゲンなどのホルモンを補充するホルモン補充療法が行われている。しかし、ホルモン療法には副作用の心配がある。また、更年期障害には非エストロゲン依存性のものがあり、その患者にはホルモン療法は改善効果が期待できず、さらに他覚的所見に乏しい不定愁訴を訴える患者も非常に多い。   Menopause is a symptom or disorder that can occur in the process of ovarian function beginning to decline and disappear due to the aging process and is sometimes referred to as climacteric symptoms. Menopause is a symptom caused by decreased ovarian function, environmental factors, psychological factors, etc., mainly vasomotor disorder-like symptoms, neuropsychiatric disorder-like symptoms, sensory disturbance symptoms, urogenital disorder symptoms, It is classified into motor organ disorder symptoms, skin urinary disorder symptoms, gastrointestinal disorder symptoms and other symptoms. For these symptoms, hormone replacement therapy is performed to replace hormones such as estrogen. However, there are concerns about side effects with hormone therapy. In addition, some menopause are non-estrogen-dependent, and hormonal therapy cannot be expected to improve the patient, and many patients complain of indefinite complaints with poor objective findings.

更年期は女性が必ず経験する時期であり、更年期の種々の症状は程度の強弱に関わらず女性にとって精神的な苦痛となっている。こうした状況の中で、更年期症状または障害を予防または改善低減することにより、女性のQOL(Quality of Life)を向上させることが求められている。   Menopause is a time that women must experience, and the various symptoms of menopause are mentally painful for women, regardless of their strength. Under these circumstances, there is a demand for improving the quality of life (QOL) of women by preventing or improving and reducing climacteric symptoms or disorders.

一方、大豆イソフラボンや他の植物素材から抽出したイソフラボンを単独またはサポニン、フェノール酸などの成分と組み合わせた組成物を、種々の癌や血中コレステロールの低下、骨粗鬆症、閉経前後の症状(すなわち更年期障害)などを改善するための栄養補助剤または食品添加物として用いうることが報告されている(特許文献1を参照)。また、大豆イソフラボンを、テアニンとローヤルゼリーと組み合わせて、更年期障害を含む女性ホルモン異常障害の改善に用いうることが提案されている(特許文献2を参照)。しかし、その効果は十分といえず、更年期障害に対して十分な予防改善作用を有し、且つ安全性の高い医薬または食品が求められている。   On the other hand, soy isoflavones and isoflavones extracted from other plant materials, alone or in combination with components such as saponin and phenolic acid, are used in various cancers, blood cholesterol lowering, osteoporosis, pre-menopausal symptoms (ie, menopause) It has been reported that it can be used as a nutritional supplement or a food additive for improving (see Patent Document 1). In addition, it has been proposed that soybean isoflavones can be used in combination with theanine and royal jelly to improve female hormone abnormal disorders including menopause (see Patent Document 2). However, the effect is not sufficient, and there is a demand for pharmaceuticals or foods that have a sufficient preventive / ameliorating action for menopause and are highly safe.

γ−アミノ酪酸は、グルタミン酸から生合成されるアミノ酸の一種であり、主に動物では脳髄に存在し、神経の主要な抑制性伝達物質である。γ−アミノ酪酸は、脳細胞の代謝機能を亢進することから、脳卒中後遺症、脳動脈硬化症などによる頭痛、耳鳴り、記憶障害、意欲低下などの改善に用いられている。また、高血圧、動脈硬化の予防・改善、コレステロール値低下、血糖上昇抑制などの目的でも用いられ、食品などにγ−アミノ酪酸を富化させる方法が検討されている(特許文献3を参照)。しかし、γ−アミノ酪酸が優れた更年期障害の予防改善作用を有すること、さらに大豆イソフラボンとローヤルゼリーを組み合わせるとその相乗効果により顕著な更年期障害の予防改善効果を奏しうることは全く知られていない。

γ-Aminobutyric acid is a kind of amino acid that is biosynthesized from glutamic acid, and is present mainly in the brain spinal cord in animals and is a major inhibitory transmitter of nerves. Since γ-aminobutyric acid enhances the metabolic function of brain cells, it is used to improve headaches, tinnitus, memory impairment, decreased motivation, etc. due to sequelae of stroke, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and the like. In addition, it is also used for the purpose of preventing and improving hypertension, arteriosclerosis, lowering of cholesterol level, and suppressing increase in blood sugar, and a method for enriching foods and the like with γ-aminobutyric acid has been studied (see Patent Document 3). However, it has not been known at all that γ-aminobutyric acid has an excellent preventive / improving effect on climacteric disorder, and that when synergistic with soy isoflavone and royal jelly, it can exert a significant preventive / improving effect on climacteric disorder.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-2221048 JP 2003-2831 A Japanese Patent Application No. 11-151072

本発明の課題は、更年期障害を予防または低減し、且つ長期服用しても副作用の心配が無いなど安全性が高い更年期障害の予防改善剤および飲食品を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a preventive / ameliorating agent for menopausal disorders and foods and beverages which are highly safe, such as preventing or reducing climacteric disorders and having no side effects even after long-term use.

本発明者等は、上記した課題の解決のために鋭意研究した結果、γ−アミノ酪酸(以後、GABAということがある)を女性に摂取させることにより、更年期障害を効果的に予防または改善しうること、並びにγ−アミノ酪酸を大豆イソフラボンおよびローヤルゼリーと組み合わせることにより、顕著な更年期障害の予防改善効果を奏しうることを見出した。   As a result of intensive studies for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have effectively prevented or improved climacteric disorder by allowing women to ingest γ-aminobutyric acid (hereinafter sometimes referred to as GABA). It has been found that by combining γ-aminobutyric acid with soy isoflavone and royal jelly, a significant improvement in the prevention of menopause can be achieved.

すなわち、本発明は、更年期障害の予防または改善のためのγ−アミノ酪酸を有効成分とする更年期障害の予防改善剤に関する。本発明の予防改善剤は、γ−アミノ酪酸を0.1〜100質量%、好ましくは10〜100質量%含有する。また、本発明はγ−アミノ酪酸、大豆イソフラボンおよびローヤルゼリーを含有する更年期障害の予防改善剤に関する。本発明の予防改善剤は、γ−アミノ酪酸0.1〜70質量%、大豆イソフラボン1〜50質量%およびローヤルゼリー1〜70質量%を含有する。   That is, the present invention relates to a preventive / ameliorating agent for climacteric disorder comprising γ-aminobutyric acid as an active ingredient for preventing or improving climacteric disorder. The prevention-improving agent of the present invention contains 0.1 to 100% by mass, preferably 10 to 100% by mass of γ-aminobutyric acid. The present invention also relates to a preventive / ameliorating agent for climacteric disorders, which contains γ-aminobutyric acid, soy isoflavone and royal jelly. The preventive / ameliorating agent of the present invention contains 0.1 to 70% by mass of γ-aminobutyric acid, 1 to 50% by mass of soybean isoflavone, and 1 to 70% by mass of royal jelly.

また、本発明は、γ−アミノ酪酸を含有することを特徴とする更年期障害の予防または改善のための飲食品に関する。この飲食品にはγ−アミノ酪酸が0.1〜100質量%、好ましくは10〜100質量%含まれる。さらに、本発明はγ−アミノ酪酸、大豆イソフラボンおよびローヤルゼリーを含有することを特徴とする、更年期障害の予防または改善のための飲食品に関し、この飲食品には、γ−アミノ酪酸0.1〜70質量%、大豆イソフラボン1〜50質量%およびローヤルゼリー1〜70質量%が含まれる。   Moreover, this invention relates to the food-drinks for prevention or improvement of the climacteric disorder characterized by containing (gamma) -aminobutyric acid. This food or drink contains 0.1 to 100% by mass, preferably 10 to 100% by mass, of γ-aminobutyric acid. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a food or drink for preventing or ameliorating climacteric disorder, characterized by containing γ-aminobutyric acid, soy isoflavone and royal jelly. 70% by weight, 1-50% by weight of soybean isoflavone and 1-70% by weight of royal jelly are included.

本発明の予防改善剤および飲食品はγ−アミノ酪酸を含有し、更年期障害の予防または症状の改善に有効に用いることができるが、予防改善剤および飲食品中のγ−アミノ酪酸の量は、通常は0.1〜100質量%、好ましくは10〜100質量%の範囲である。また、γ−アミノ酪酸の1日当たりの摂取量は、通常は10〜500mgの範囲、好ましくは50〜200mgの範囲である。1日当たりの摂取量が10mg未満であると十分な更年期障害の予防改善効果が得られず、500mgより多くても奏される効果はあまり変わらない。予防改善剤中のγ−アミノ酪酸の量は、被験者の状態、予防改善すべき症状の程度および剤型などを考慮して、前述の範囲で適宜決定することができる。   The preventive / ameliorating agent and food / beverage products of the present invention contain γ-aminobutyric acid and can be used effectively for prevention of climacteric disorder or improvement of symptoms. The range is usually from 0.1 to 100% by mass, preferably from 10 to 100% by mass. The daily intake of γ-aminobutyric acid is usually in the range of 10 to 500 mg, preferably in the range of 50 to 200 mg. If the intake amount per day is less than 10 mg, a sufficient effect for preventing and improving menopause cannot be obtained, and even if the intake amount is more than 500 mg, the effect exerted does not change much. The amount of γ-aminobutyric acid in the preventive / ameliorating agent can be appropriately determined within the above-mentioned range in consideration of the condition of the subject, the degree of symptoms to be prevented / ameliorated and the dosage form.

また、本発明の予防改善剤および飲食品がγ−アミノ酪酸に加えて、大豆イソフラボンおよびローヤルゼリーを含有する場合、これら予防改善剤は、γ−アミノ酪酸を0.1〜70質量%、好ましくは1〜50質量%、大豆イソフラボンを1〜50質量%、好ましくは10〜50質量%およびローヤルゼリーを1〜70質量%、好ましくは10〜70質量%を含有する。γ−アミノ酪酸の1日当たりの摂取量は前述したとおりであるが、大豆イソフラボンの1日当たりの摂取量は、総イソフラボンとして1〜500mg、好ましくは10〜200mgの範囲である。また、ローヤルゼリーの1日当たりの摂取量は、生ローヤルゼリー換算で10mg〜3gの範囲、好ましくは100〜1gの範囲である。大豆イソフラボンとローヤルゼリーの量がこの範囲未満であると、γ−アミノ酪酸との十分な相乗効果が得られず、この範囲よりも多くても奏される効果はあまり変わらない。また、これらの摂取量が多いと医薬または飲食品の形態によっては摂取が困難になるため好ましくない。   Moreover, when the prevention-improving agent and food and drink of the present invention contain soybean isoflavone and royal jelly in addition to γ-aminobutyric acid, these prevention-improving agents contain 0.1-70% by mass of γ-aminobutyric acid, preferably 1 to 50% by mass, 1 to 50% by mass of soybean isoflavone, preferably 10 to 50% by mass and 1 to 70% by mass of royal jelly, preferably 10 to 70% by mass. The daily intake of γ-aminobutyric acid is as described above, but the daily intake of soy isoflavone is 1 to 500 mg, preferably 10 to 200 mg as total isoflavone. The daily intake of royal jelly is in the range of 10 mg to 3 g, preferably in the range of 100 to 1 g, in terms of raw royal jelly. If the amount of soy isoflavone and royal jelly is less than this range, a sufficient synergistic effect with γ-aminobutyric acid cannot be obtained, and even if the amount exceeds this range, the effect exerted is not much different. Moreover, since there are many intakes of these, it becomes unpreferable since it will become difficult to ingest depending on the form of medicine or food and drink.
