Description

本発明は、有酸素性運動機能向上剤、有酸素性運動機能向上用食品組成物、有酸素性運動機能向上用医薬組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to an aerobic motor function improving agent, a food composition for improving aerobic motor function, and a pharmaceutical composition for improving aerobic motor function.

近年、食生活の改善や洋風化に伴うエネルギー摂取量の増加と、さらには、交通手段の発達、デスクワークの増大等による運動量の減少も加わり、これらが原因で様々な生活習慣病を引き起こすことが明らかにされており、国民の健康保持・増進の観点から社会問題になっている。
生活習慣病の予防・是正として、バランスのよい食事と、適度な運動の両面から取り組むことが提案されているが、運動についてはウォーキング・ジョギング・水泳等の有酸素性運動を取り入れることが、肥満予防やメタボリックシンドローム予防につながるとして期待されている。
In recent years, the increase in energy intake due to the improvement of eating habits and westernization, and the decrease in the amount of exercise due to the development of transportation means and the increase in desk work have been added, which may cause various lifestyle-related diseases. It has been clarified and has become a social problem from the viewpoint of maintaining and improving the health of the people.
As prevention and correction of lifestyle-related diseases, it has been proposed to work on both a well-balanced diet and moderate exercise, but for exercise, incorporating aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, and swimming is obesity. It is expected to lead to prevention and prevention of metabolic syndrome.

しかし、日頃から運動をせず座りがちな人(非運動習慣者)は、エネルギー代謝の効率が低いため、有酸素性運動を肥満やメタボリックシンドロームの予防につなげるには長時間を要する。したがって、非運動習慣者が肥満やメタボリックシンドロームの予防に対する運動の効果を実感しづらいことは、運動習慣者の割合が増えない現状とも一致する。
また、運動習慣者では高い運動強度で有酸素性運動を行うことができるが、非運動習慣者が高い強度で運動することは、血圧の上昇や怪我等につながりやすく、安全に行うことが困難であるとの指摘もあり、推奨されていない。
However, people who do not exercise on a regular basis and tend to sit down (non-exercise habits) have low energy metabolism efficiency, so it takes a long time to connect aerobic exercise to the prevention of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is difficult for non-exercise habits to realize the effect of exercise on the prevention of obesity and metabolic syndrome, which is consistent with the current situation where the proportion of exercise habits does not increase.
In addition, exercise habits can perform aerobic exercise with high exercise intensity, but non-exercise habits exercise with high intensity is likely to lead to an increase in blood pressure and injury, and it is difficult to do it safely. It has been pointed out that it is not recommended.

したがって、特に非運動習慣者にとって、食品や医薬品等を摂取することで有酸素性運動時の運動機能が向上して実行可能な運動強度を高め、有酸素性運動の所要時間の効率化が可能になることは、生活習慣病の予防・是正の観点からも重要である。また、有酸素性運動の実行可能な運動強度が高まることで、選択できる運動の種類が広がり、より自由に運動の種類を選ぶことが可能となる。 Therefore, especially for non-exercise habits, ingestion of foods, medicines, etc. can improve the exercise function during aerobic exercise, increase the exercise intensity that can be performed, and improve the efficiency of the time required for aerobic exercise. It is also important from the viewpoint of prevention and correction of lifestyle-related diseases. In addition, by increasing the viable exercise intensity of aerobic exercise, the types of exercise that can be selected are expanded, and it becomes possible to more freely select the type of exercise.

これまで、中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドの摂取による運動機能について、最大酸素摂取量を基準に運動強度を決定して運動をした際の機能評価(非特許文献1)、運動中の血中乳酸濃度から運動強度を決定して運動をした際の機能評価(非特許文献2)等が報告されているが、有酸素性運動機能の耐容上限を評価した研究はされていなかった。
また、有酸素性運動の効果を高める方法として、霊芝成分を含有する飲食品(特許文献1)や、ローヤルゼリー中のタンパク質を有効成分として含有する組成物(特許文献2)の摂取等が報告されているが、継続摂取時の副作用の懸念や、摂取形態の汎用性について十分に検討されていなかった。
So far, regarding the exercise function due to the intake of medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride, the function evaluation when exercising by determining the exercise intensity based on the maximum oxygen uptake (Non-Patent Document 1), exercise based on the blood lactate concentration during exercise. Functional evaluation (Non-Patent Document 2) and the like when exercising by determining intensity have been reported, but no study has been conducted to evaluate the tolerable upper limit of aerobic motor function.
In addition, as a method for enhancing the effect of aerobic exercise, ingestion of foods and drinks containing a Reishi component (Patent Document 1) and a composition containing a protein in royal jelly as an active ingredient (Patent Document 2) have been reported. However, concerns about side effects during continuous ingestion and the versatility of the ingestion form have not been fully investigated.

[有酸素性運動機能向上剤]
本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤は、中鎖脂肪酸を有効成分として含む。以下、「中鎖脂肪酸」を「MCFA」ともいう。「中鎖脂肪酸を有効成分として含む」とは、本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤中に含まれる生理活性物質として、中鎖脂肪酸が少なくとも含まれることを意味する。
[Aerobic motor function improver]

"Containing a medium-chain fatty acid as an active ingredient" means that at least a medium-chain fatty acid is contained as a physiologically active substance contained in the aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention.

以下に、本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤の構成について詳述する。
〈中鎖脂肪酸(MCFA)〉
MCFAは、炭素数6〜12の直鎖飽和脂肪酸であり、通常の食品等(例えば、食用油脂や乳製品等)に含まれる油脂成分である。より安全性の高い有酸素性運動機能向上剤が得られやすいという観点から、MCFAは、炭素数8〜12の直鎖飽和脂肪酸であることが好ましく、炭素数8及び/又は10の直鎖飽和脂肪酸であることがより好ましい。具体的なMCFAとしては、カプロン酸(n−ヘキサン酸)、カプリル酸(n−オクタン酸)、カプリン酸(n−デカン酸)、ラウリン酸が挙げられる。
MCFAは、例えばパーム核油やヤシ油を加水分解した後に精製することにより、得られる。また、MCFAとして市販品や試薬を使用することもできる。
The composition of the aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention will be described in detail below.
<Medium chain fatty acid (MCFA)>
MCFA is a linear saturated fatty acid having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, and is a fat and oil component contained in ordinary foods and the like (for example, edible fats and oils, dairy products, etc.). From the viewpoint that a safer aerobic motor function improving agent can be easily obtained, MCFA is preferably a linearly saturated fatty acid having 8 to 12 carbon atoms, and linearly saturated with 8 and / or 10 carbon atoms. It is more preferably a fatty acid. Specific MCFAs include caproic acid (n-hexanoic acid), caprylic acid (n-octanoic acid), capric acid (n-decanoic acid), and lauric acid.
MCFA is obtained, for example, by hydrolyzing palm kernel oil or coconut oil and then refining it. In addition, commercially available products and reagents can be used as MCFA.

有酸素性運動機能向上剤中に含まれるMCFAの形態としては特に限定されず、中鎖脂肪酸そのものであってもよく、生体内で中鎖脂肪酸に変換される脂肪酸前駆体(例えば、塩、エステル(後述するアシルグリセロール等))であってもよく、これらの混合物であってもよい。
MCFAは、通常、脂肪酸前駆体、より具体的にはMCFAとグリセリンとがエステル結合したアシルグリセロールの形態で体内に摂取される。安全性等がより高いという観点から、本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤に含まれるMCFAの形態は、アシルグリセロールであることが好ましい。
The form of MCFA contained in the aerobic motor function improving agent is not particularly limited, and may be a medium-chain fatty acid itself, or a fatty acid precursor (for example, a salt or an ester) that is converted into a medium-chain fatty acid in vivo. (Acylglycerol, etc. described later)), or a mixture thereof.
MCFA is usually ingested in the body in the form of fatty acid precursors, more specifically acylglycerol in which MCFA and glycerin are ester-bonded. From the viewpoint of higher safety and the like, the form of MCFA contained in the aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention is preferably acylglycerol.

アシルグリセロールは、脂肪酸とグリセリンとがエステル結合した構造を有し、グリセリンに結合する脂肪酸の数の違いにより、3種の形態(モノアシルグリセロール、ジアシルグリセロール、及びトリアシルグリセロール)のいずれかで存在する。本発明におけるアシルグリセロールは上記3種の形態のいずれであってもよいが、その構成脂肪酸のうちの少なくとも一つがMCFAである。本発明におけるアシルグリセロールとしては、食品から医薬品まで配合することができ汎用性が高いという観点から、トリアシルグリセロール(以下、トリグリセリドともいう。)が好ましい。また、本発明において、ジアシルグリセロール及びトリアシルグリセロールを構成する脂肪酸は、同じ種類であっても、異なる種類であってもよい。異なる種類の脂肪酸から構成されるアシルグリセロールの場合、各々の脂肪酸のグリセリンへの結合位置は、特に限定されない。また、アシルグリセロールの構成脂肪酸として、MCFA以外の脂肪酸(例えば、炭素数14〜22の長鎖脂肪酸等)が含まれていてもよい。 Acylglycerol has a structure in which a fatty acid and glycerin are ester-bonded, and exists in one of three forms (monoacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, and triacylglycerol) depending on the number of fatty acids bound to glycerin. To do. The acylglycerol in the present invention may be in any of the above three forms, but at least one of the constituent fatty acids is MCFA. As the acylglycerol in the present invention, triacylglycerol (hereinafter, also referred to as triglyceride) is preferable from the viewpoint that it can be blended from foods to pharmaceuticals and has high versatility. Further, in the present invention, the fatty acids constituting diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol may be of the same type or different types. In the case of acylglycerol composed of different types of fatty acids, the binding position of each fatty acid to glycerin is not particularly limited. Further, as a constituent fatty acid of acylglycerol, a fatty acid other than MCFA (for example, a long chain fatty acid having 14 to 22 carbon atoms) may be contained.

本発明におけるアシルグリセロールの全構成脂肪酸において、MCFAの占める割合の下限値は、好ましくは10質量%以上、さらに好ましくは40質量%以上、より好ましくは80質量%以上である。上限値は好ましくは100質量%以下である。上記範囲であれば、MCFAによる有酸素性運動機能向上作用をより効果的に発揮できる。なお、本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤において構成脂肪酸としてMCFAを含むアシルグリセロールを配合する場合、構成脂肪酸にMCFAを含まないアシルグリセロールをさらに配合してもよい。かかる場合、有酸素性運動機能向上剤に配合された全アシルグリセロールのうち、全構成脂肪酸におけるMCFAの占める割合が上記の範囲であればよい。 The lower limit of the proportion of MCFA in the total constituent fatty acids of acylglycerol in the present invention is preferably 10% by mass or more, more preferably 40% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more. The upper limit is preferably 100% by mass or less. Within the above range, the aerobic motor function improving effect of MCFA can be more effectively exerted. When the aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention contains an acylglycerol containing MCFA as a constituent fatty acid, an acylglycerol containing no MCFA may be further added to the constituent fatty acid. In such a case, the ratio of MCFA in the total constituent fatty acids to the total acylglycerol blended in the aerobic motor function improving agent may be within the above range.

アシルグリセロールの製造方法は特に限定されないが、例えば、ヤシ油やパーム核油由来の中鎖脂肪酸や長鎖脂肪酸とグリセリンとを原料として、エステル化反応、あるいは、中鎖脂肪酸アルキルや長鎖脂肪酸アルキルとグリセリンとを原料として、エステル交換反応させることにより得ることができる。エステル化反応の条件は、特に限定されるものではなく、無触媒且つ無溶剤にて加圧下で反応させてもよく、触媒や溶剤を用いて反応させてもよい。また、上記MLCTは、MCTとMCT以外の油脂とをエステル交換する方法によっても得ることができる。エステル交換する方法としては、特に限定されるものではなく、ナトリウムメトキシドを触媒とした化学的エステル交換や、リパーゼ製剤を触媒とした酵素的エステル交換など、通常行われる方法で行えばよい。 The method for producing acylglycerol is not particularly limited, but for example, an esterification reaction using medium-chain fatty acid or long-chain fatty acid derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil and glycerin, or medium-chain fatty acid alkyl or long-chain fatty acid alkyl. It can be obtained by conducting an ester exchange reaction using glycerin and glycerin as raw materials. The conditions of the esterification reaction are not particularly limited, and the reaction may be carried out under pressure without a catalyst and without a solvent, or may be carried out using a catalyst or a solvent. The MLCT can also be obtained by transesterifying MCT with fats and oils other than MCT. The method for transesterification is not particularly limited, and a usual method such as chemical transesterification using sodium methoxide as a catalyst or enzymatic transesterification using a lipase preparation as a catalyst may be used.

より安全性の高い有酸素性運動機能向上剤が得られやすいという観点から、本発明におけるアシルグリセロールとしては、構成脂肪酸にMCFAと長鎖脂肪酸(例えば、炭素数14〜22の直鎖長鎖脂肪酸)とを含有するトリグリセリド、即ち中長鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドが好ましい。本発明におけるアシルグリセロールとしては、構成脂肪酸の全てがMCFAであるトリグリセリド、即ち中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドが特に好ましい。以下、「中長鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリド」を「MLCT」ともいい、「中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリド」を「MCT」ともいう。本発明の脂有酸素性運動機能向上剤中に含まれるMCFAの形態としては、MLCT及び/又はMCTを含んでいることが好ましく、MCTのみを含んでいることがより好ましい。本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤は、MCTからなるものが特に好ましい。 From the viewpoint that a safer aerobic motor function improving agent can be easily obtained, the acylglycerol in the present invention includes MCFA and long chain fatty acids (for example, linear long chain fatty acids having 14 to 22 carbon atoms) as constituent fatty acids. ) And a triglyceride, that is, a medium-long chain fatty acid triglyceride is preferable. As the acylglycerol in the present invention, a triglyceride in which all the constituent fatty acids are MCFA, that is, a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride is particularly preferable. Hereinafter, "medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride" is also referred to as "MLCT", and "medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride" is also referred to as "MCT". The form of MCFA contained in the oily aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention preferably contains MLCT and / or MCT, and more preferably contains only MCT. The aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention particularly preferably comprises MCT.

本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤は、MCFA(MCFAそのもの、MCFAの脂肪酸前駆体(MLCT、MCT等)、又は、これらの混合物)からなるものであってもよいが、MCFAとともにMCFA以外の成分を含んでいてもよい。
本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤にMCFA以外の成分が含まれる場合、有酸素性運動機能向上剤に含まれるMCFA(MCFAの脂肪酸前駆体(MLCT、MCT等)、又は、これらの混合物の場合は、MCFAの量に換算)の配合量の下限値は、有酸素性運動機能向上剤に対して好ましくは33質量%以上、さらに好ましくは50質量%以上、さらにより好ましくは70質量%以上である。上限値は好ましくは99質量%以下、さらに好ましくは95質量%以下、さらにより好ましくは90質量%以下である。上記範囲であれば、MCFAによる有酸素性運動機能向上作用をより効果的に発揮できる。
The aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention may consist of MCFA (MCFA itself, fatty acid precursor of MCFA (MLCT, MCT, etc.), or a mixture thereof), but together with MCFA, other than MCFA. It may contain an ingredient.
When the aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention contains a component other than MCFA, MCFA (fatty acid precursor of MCFA (MLCT, MCT, etc.) or a mixture thereof) contained in the aerobic motor function improving agent or a mixture thereof. In this case, the lower limit of the blending amount (converted to the amount of MCFA) is preferably 33% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, still more preferably 70% by mass or more with respect to the aerobic motor function improving agent. Is. The upper limit is preferably 99% by mass or less, more preferably 95% by mass or less, and even more preferably 90% by mass or less. Within the above range, the aerobic motor function improving effect of MCFA can be more effectively exerted.

〈有酸素性運動機能向上作用〉
本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤は、ヒトの有酸素性運動時の運動機能を向上する作用を有する。本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤は、好ましくは、非運動習慣者の有酸素性運動時の運動機能を向上するために用いることができる。本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤を使用することにより、従来よりも、有酸素性運動の実行時間の延伸ができ、また、高い運動強度で有酸素性運動を行うことが可能になるので、肥満やメタボリックシンドロームの予防に対する運動の効果を実感しやすい。
特に非運動習慣者にとっては、運動強度を過度に高める必要がなく、血圧の上昇や怪我等のリスクを減らせるメリットがある。
<Aerobic motor function improving effect>
The aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention has an action of improving the motor function during aerobic exercise in humans. The aerobic motor function improving agent of the present invention can be preferably used to improve the motor function of a non-exercise habitual person during aerobic exercise. By using the aerobic exercise function improving agent of the present invention, the execution time of aerobic exercise can be extended as compared with the conventional case, and aerobic exercise can be performed with high exercise intensity. , It is easy to feel the effect of exercise on the prevention of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Especially for non-exercise habits, it is not necessary to excessively increase the exercise intensity, and there is an advantage that the risk of an increase in blood pressure and injury can be reduced.

本発明において、「有酸素性運動機能向上」とは、本発明の有酸素性運動機能向上剤の効果が得られる前の状態と比べて、有酸素性運動の実行時間が延伸、及び/又は実行可能な運動強度が増加することを指す。また、前記有酸素性運動の実行時間が延伸、及び/又は実行可能な運動強度の増加は、好ましくは、酸素摂取能力の向上作用を伴う。
ここで、「有酸素性運動」とは、好気的代謝による長時間継続可能な軽度または中程度の負荷の運動である。そして、高強度の運動負荷に対応して短時間に大きな力を発生させ、非好気的代謝から多量の乳酸が発生するような無酸素性運動とは明確に区別される。
In the present invention, "improvement of aerobic exercise function" means that the execution time of aerobic exercise is extended and / or compared with the state before the effect of the aerobic exercise function improving agent of the present invention is obtained. Refers to an increase in viable exercise intensity. In addition, the extension of the execution time of the aerobic exercise and / or the increase in the exercise intensity that can be performed is preferably accompanied by the effect of improving the oxygen uptake capacity.
Here, "aerobic exercise" is exercise with a light or moderate load that can be continued for a long time by aerobic metabolism. And, it is clearly distinguished from anaerobic exercise in which a large amount of lactic acid is generated from non-aerobic metabolism by generating a large force in a short time in response to a high-intensity exercise load.

本発明では、上記の有酸素性運動機能向上を確認する指標として、換気性作業閾値(Ventilation Threshold:VT、以下VTともいう。)に着目した。ここで、VTとは、有酸素性の運動強度において、運動強度を徐々に上げてゆくと、やがて酸素摂取量(VO)の上昇に比べ、換気量及び二酸化炭素排出量(VCO)の著しい上昇が見出される閾値(無酸素性運動への転換点)を指す。したがって、上記において有酸素性運動の実行時間の延伸は、VTが延伸する事象として確認することができる。
また、酸素摂取能力が向上すると、VOが増加して運動時の活動筋への酸素供給が増加する。そうすると、酸化的リン酸化によるエネルギー供給系からのエネルギー獲得が増えるため、VCOの上昇が遅延して、結果としてVTが延伸すると考えられる。
In the present invention, as an index for confirming the above-mentioned improvement in aerobic motor function, attention is paid to the ventilation threshold (VT, hereinafter also referred to as VT). Here, the VT, the aerobic exercise intensity, the Yuku increasing the exercise intensity gradually, eventually than the increase of the oxygen uptake (VO 2), ventilation and carbon dioxide emissions (VCO 2) It refers to the threshold at which a significant increase is found (the turning point for anaerobic exercise). Therefore, in the above, the extension of the execution time of aerobic exercise can be confirmed as an event in which the VT is extended.
In addition, when the oxygen uptake capacity is improved, VO 2 is increased and the oxygen supply to active muscles during exercise is increased. Then, it is considered that the energy acquisition from the energy supply system by oxidative phosphorylation increases, so that the increase of VCO 2 is delayed, and as a result, the VT is extended.

[非運動習慣者]
本発明の非運動習慣者とは、日頃運動を行っていない者、具体的には、国民栄養調査の運動習慣者の定義をもとに、「1回30分以上の運動を、週2回以上実施し、1年以上持続している者」以外の者を指す。また、本発明の運動とは、3メッツ(Mets)以上の身体活動を指す。メッツは、座位安静時代謝量を1メッツとしてその代謝量の倍数で強度を定義している。1メッツの時間当たりエネルギー消費量(Kcal/時)は、対象者の体重の数値(kg)とほぼ同じであり、体重60kgの人の1メッツは60Kcal/時に相当する。具体的にはウォーキング(4.3メッツ)、サイクリング(8.0メッツ、20km/時)、水泳(10.0メッツ、速いクロール、69m/分)等が挙げられる。「健康づくりのための身体活動基準2013」では、国際的には3〜6メッツの身体活動を週150分行うことが推奨されている。
また、本発明の運動は、無酸素性運動と組み合わせてもよいが、本発明の運動の運動時間が無酸素性運動の運動時間よりも長いほうが好ましい。
