Description

  The present invention relates to an insulin-like growth factor-1 secretion promoter containing sialic acid.

  Sialic acid is a family name generically referring to substances in which the amino group or hydroxy group of neuraminic acid is substituted, and is naturally N-acetylneuraminic acid that is acetylated at the 5-position. There are many (N-acetylneuraminic acid; NeuAc), followed by N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) modified with glycolic acid. Sialic acid is an acidic amino sugar that can be obtained from glycolipids and glycoproteins of living organisms. In addition to simple substances in vivo, it is present as a component of complex carbohydrates at the end of oligosaccharides on the surface of cell membranes. It has important biological functions.

  Conventionally, as an active ingredient for the prevention and improvement of skin wrinkles and sagging, and for the purpose of giving elasticity and tension to the skin, the axilla extract obtained by extracting the axilla with water or water-containing organic solvent as an active ingredient Containing cosmetics are known (Patent Documents 1 and 2), and as cosmetics for the purpose of imparting hygroscopicity and moisture retention to the skin, contains at least two components of sericin and saccharides Cosmetics are known (Patent Document 3). In the axillary extract, which is a component of the former cosmetic, sialic acid is present in the form of a glycoprotein in which at least a part of the protein and at least a part of the carbohydrate are bound. As free sialic acid, Does not exist. In addition, as a saccharide that is one component of the latter cosmetic, Patent Document 3 uses D-glucose, lactose, maltotriose, and the like, and sialic acid is also exemplified. It is only used in combination with sericin, not sialic acid alone.

  On the other hand, insulin-like growth factor-1 (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as IGF-1) is a peptide hormone having a molecular weight of about 7500 having a structure and action very similar to insulin. Yes (see Non-Patent Document 1), actively promoting the differentiation of cells, helping cell proliferation, etc., actively maintaining the cells in a healthy state (see Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3), and preventing the progression of aging ( Non-patent document 4), and known to have a hair-growth effect (see patent document 4). However, there is no mention that sialic acid promotes the secretion of IGF-1, and there is no description suggesting the relationship between sialic acid and IGF-1.
