Description

本発明は特定種のアミノ酸からなるアミノ酸組成物を含有する疲労防止剤に関する。   The present invention relates to an anti-fatigue agent containing an amino acid composition comprising a specific type of amino acid.

現代社会に生きる人間にとって「疲労」という現象は、既に単純には無視できない状況となりつつある。近年の調査結果によると、全国民の60%近くが疲労を感じており、そのうち40%弱の人々が6ヶ月以上継続する疲労を感じていると回答している。これを就労人口に換算すると3000万人近くの労働者が継続した疲労感を伴ったままで業務に従事していることになる。また、重篤な慢性疲労の場合には日常生活にも支障を来す場合もある。さらに、これらの疲労によって引き起こされる経済的損失は、回復措置に係る費用も含めると、数千億円から一兆円規模となると推測されている。   For people living in modern society, the phenomenon of “fatigue” is already becoming a situation that cannot be simply ignored. According to recent survey results, nearly 60% of all citizens feel fatigued, and nearly 40% of those responded that they feel tired for more than 6 months. When this is converted into the working population, nearly 30 million workers are engaged in work with continued fatigue. In the case of severe chronic fatigue, it may interfere with daily life. Furthermore, the economic loss caused by these fatigues is estimated to be in the range of several hundred billion yen to one trillion yen, including the cost of recovery measures.

疲労は、発現から分類した場合には急性疲労と慢性疲労とに大別され、前者は数分から数時間の単位で発生し、比較的短時間の休息で回復する場合が多い。後者は急性疲労が蓄積された場合に、回復せずに数日、長い場合には週間単位で回復するレベルのものであるが、上記のように長期に渡る場合には6ヶ月以上継続することもある。   Fatigue is broadly divided into acute fatigue and chronic fatigue when classified from the onset, and the former occurs in units of minutes to hours and often recovers after a relatively short rest. The latter is a level that recovers for several days without recovering when acute fatigue accumulates, and for weeks when it is long, but should continue for more than 6 months if it lasts for a long time as described above. There is also.

また、疲労が生じる部位から分類した場合には、肉体疲労と精神(神経)疲労とに大別される。但し、これらの疲労については筋肉疲労と神経疲労とで分類できるものではあるが、そのストレスから見た場合には、実際には常にお互いが複雑に関連して生じている。したがって、上記の単純な分類では対処方法は一義的には見いだせず、この点についての知見が得られれば、効果的な疲労回復措置を構築することにもつながる。   Moreover, when it classify | categorizes from the site | part which produces fatigue, it divides roughly into physical fatigue and mental (nerve) fatigue. However, these types of fatigue can be classified into muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue, but when viewed from the stress, they are always always associated with each other in a complicated manner. Therefore, in the above simple classification, a coping method cannot be found uniquely, and if knowledge about this point is obtained, it will lead to building an effective fatigue recovery measure.

疲労防止や回復の方法としては、入浴などの簡易的なストレス解消方法から、薬剤投与まで含めた治療方法が種々検討されている。これらの方法は、上記した筋肉疲労と神経疲労とのそれぞれの疲労を回復することを目的としているが、実際にはその双方を同時に満足するような方法は未だ得られていない。   As a method for preventing or recovering from fatigue, various treatment methods including simple stress relieving methods such as bathing and drug administration have been studied. These methods are aimed at recovering the above-mentioned fatigue of muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue, but in reality, no method that satisfies both of them at the same time has yet been obtained.

また、これらの方法においてはある種の薬剤又はサプリメントなどの投与を含んでいる場合がある。薬剤投与の場合には医者などによる診断や処方の対応が必要であることから煩雑である。一方、サプリメントとしての食餌による対応方法は、簡便であり日常生活に取り入れやすいこともあり、近年その研究開発・商品開発が進められており、サプリメント市場は拡大の一途をたどっている。例えば、クエン酸、ビタミン、コエンザイムQ10を初めとする疲労回復用サプリメントはコンビニエンスストア等でも市販されている。しかし、これらのサプリメントにおいても、上記した筋肉疲労と神経疲労とのそれぞれの疲労を回復する効果については明らかにされておらず、実際にはその双方を同時に満足するような明確な方法は未だ得られていない。   These methods may also include the administration of certain drugs or supplements. In the case of drug administration, it is complicated because diagnosis and prescribing by a doctor or the like is necessary. On the other hand, dietary supplements as supplements are simple and easy to incorporate into daily life. In recent years, research and development and product development have been promoted, and the supplement market is steadily expanding. For example, supplements for fatigue recovery such as citric acid, vitamins, and coenzyme Q10 are also commercially available at convenience stores and the like. However, in these supplements, the effects of recovering from the above-mentioned muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue have not been clarified. In fact, there is still no clear method for satisfying both of them. It is not done.

一方、主に運動能力向上の目的で注目を集め商品名「VAAM」(明治乳業株式会社製)として知られているスズメバチの幼虫が分泌するだ液中に含まれる複数のアミノ酸組成物については、疲労回復にも効果があるとされており(例えば特許文献1)、さらにこの技術から派生した種々のアミノ酸組成物についても開発が進められている。例えば特許文献2には、筋肉自体の疲労ならびにそれに伴う倦怠感などの精神的疲労を速やかに回復するアミノ酸組成物が開示されている。   On the other hand, for a plurality of amino acid compositions contained in the saliva secreted by wasp larvae, which is known mainly as a product name “VAAM” (manufactured by Meiji Dairies Co., Ltd.) It is said that it is effective for recovery from fatigue (for example, Patent Document 1), and various amino acid compositions derived from this technology are also being developed. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses an amino acid composition that quickly recovers fatigue of muscles themselves and mental fatigue such as fatigue associated therewith.

また、BCAAとして知られているバリン、ロイシン、イソロイシンについては、これらにも運動能力向上としての用途以外に、中枢神経系の疲労(脳性疲労)予防若しくは脳疲労回復効果があるとして、これを用いた中枢神経系用疲労予防/回復剤が提供されている(特許文献3)。   In addition to valine, leucine, and isoleucine known as BCAA, these are used for preventing fatigue of the central nervous system (brain fatigue) or recovering from brain fatigue in addition to their use for improving exercise ability. An anti-fatigue / recovery agent for central nervous system has been provided (Patent Document 3).

一方、いくつかの疲労に関する研究の結果から、疲労に伴いある種のアミノ酸の血中濃度の低下や特定組織への取り込みが行われることが知られている。例えば、非特許文献1には自転車による長時間負荷を与えたヒトにおいて、プロリン、グリシン、アラニンなどのアミノ酸が有意に消費され低下することが開示されている。   On the other hand, it is known from the results of some studies on fatigue that blood concentrations of certain amino acids are lowered and taken into specific tissues with fatigue. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses that amino acids such as proline, glycine, and alanine are significantly consumed and decreased in humans who have been subjected to a long-term bicycle load.

また非特許文献2には運動時における炭水化物の補給の有無条件での血漿中成分についての濃度変化について検討が行われている。この文献ではグリシン、アラニン、リジン、スレオニン、ヒスチジンの血漿中濃度低下がみられ、特にヒスチジンの低下率が大きいことが示されている。   Non-Patent Document 2 discusses changes in the concentration of plasma components under the condition of whether or not carbohydrate is replenished during exercise. This document shows that plasma concentrations of glycine, alanine, lysine, threonine, and histidine are decreased, and particularly, the rate of decrease of histidine is large.

非特許文献3にも運動時における給餌有無の系における各種血漿中成分の濃度変化についての研究結果が開示されている。ここでは特にトリプトファンの濃度低下率が大きいことが開示されている。   Non-Patent Document 3 also discloses the results of studies on changes in concentrations of various plasma components in a system with or without feeding during exercise. Here, it is disclosed that the concentration reduction rate of tryptophan is particularly large.

その量が低下したそれぞれのアミノ酸についての運動や疲労現象との因果関係は未だ明確にはされていないが、エネルギー代謝サイクルにおいてこれらのアミノ酸が何らかの関わりがあり消費されているものと推測される。したがって、これらの濃度低下が見られるアミノ酸を補充することで疲労回復することは容易に想像される。しかし、肉体疲労、精神疲労後にこれらを単純に補充することでも容易には疲労回復することは無く、またこれらを事前に投与したとしても、疲労回復効果が得られるという事実は未だ知られていない。   Although the causal relationship between exercise and fatigue for each amino acid whose amount has been reduced has not yet been clarified, it is presumed that these amino acids are consumed in some way in the energy metabolism cycle. Therefore, it is easily imagined that fatigue recovery can be achieved by supplementing these amino acids that show a decrease in concentration. However, simply replenishing them after physical fatigue or mental fatigue does not easily recover from fatigue, and the fact that they can be recovered even if administered in advance is not yet known. .

上述のように、これら従来のアミノ酸組成物は、運動能力の向上が主たる目的であり、抗疲労効果、疲労防止という観点からの検討については未だ不十分であった。また、特に疲労回復や予防についての効果を謳う技術もあるが、いずれも筋肉疲労と神経疲労との防止効果についての検討は不十分なものであり、未だ解決されたとは言い難い。さらに、これら従来のアミノ酸組成物は多種かつ多量のアミノ酸を組成物として供給しなければならず、必然的に高コストなものとなってしまう問題点が潜在している。   As described above, these conventional amino acid compositions are mainly intended to improve athletic ability, and have not yet been sufficiently examined from the viewpoint of anti-fatigue effects and fatigue prevention. In addition, there is a technique that particularly has an effect on recovery from fatigue and prevention, but studies on the effects of preventing muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue are insufficient, and it is difficult to say that they have been solved yet. Further, these conventional amino acid compositions have to supply various and large amounts of amino acids as a composition, which inevitably has a problem of high cost.

本発明者等は、鋭意研究の結果、従来には無い組成と量比にてアミノ酸組成物を構成することで、従来不十分であった疲労防止効果を得ることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
従って、本発明の目的は、特定種類の特定量のアミノ酸からなるアミノ酸組成物を含有する疲労防止剤を提供することにある。
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that an amino acid composition having an unprecedented composition and quantity ratio can provide a fatigue prevention effect that has been insufficient in the past, and completed the present invention. .
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an anti-fatigue agent containing an amino acid composition composed of a specific amount of a specific type of amino acid.

すなわち、本発明は以下のアミノ酸からなるアミノ酸組成物を含む疲労防止剤を提供する:
プロリン 30〜200重量部;
グリシン 60〜140重量部;
アラニン 25〜260重量部;
リジン 40〜130重量部;
トリプトファン 20〜75重量部;
ヒスチジン 15〜40重量部。
That is, this invention provides the fatigue prevention agent containing the amino acid composition which consists of the following amino acids:
30-200 parts by weight of proline;
60-140 parts by weight of glycine;
25-260 parts by weight alanine;
40-130 parts by weight of lysine;
Tryptophan 20-75 parts by weight;
15-40 parts by weight of histidine.

また、上記構成のアミノ酸組成物にさらに、以下のアミノ酸を含有する疲労防止剤が好ましい:
スレオニン 35〜65重量部;
チロシン 15〜65重量部;
アルギニン 25〜45重量部。
Further, an anti-fatigue agent containing the following amino acids in addition to the amino acid composition having the above structure is preferable:
35-65 parts by weight of threonine;
Tyrosine 15-65 parts by weight;
Arginine 25-45 parts by weight.

また、上記構成のアミノ酸組成物にさらに、以下のアミノ酸を含有する疲労防止剤が好ましい:
バリン 30〜55重量部;
ロイシン 35〜60重量部;
イソロイシン 25〜45重量部。
Further, an anti-fatigue agent containing the following amino acids in addition to the amino acid composition having the above structure is preferable:
30-55 parts by weight of valine;
35-60 parts by weight of leucine;
25 to 45 parts by weight of isoleucine.

さらに本発明は、筋肉疲労および神経疲労の双方を同時に防止する、前記の疲労防止剤に関する。
また本発明は、筋肉疲労が行動量測定によって評価されるものであり、神経疲労が血中バイオマーカー測定によって評価されるものである、前記の疲労防止剤に関する。
さらに本発明は、行動量測定による評価において、非投与群の行動量を100とした場合に投与群の行動量(相対値)が110以上であり、かつ、血中バイオマーカー測定による評価において、非投与群の測定濃度を100とした場合に投与群の測定濃度(相対値)が96以下であり、筋肉疲労および神経疲労の防止効果を有すると評価される、前記の疲労防止剤に関する。
Furthermore, the present invention relates to the anti-fatigue agent described above, which simultaneously prevents both muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue.
The present invention also relates to the anti-fatigue agent as described above, wherein muscle fatigue is evaluated by measuring the amount of behavior, and nerve fatigue is evaluated by measuring blood biomarkers.
Furthermore, in the evaluation by the behavior amount measurement, the present invention is that the behavior amount of the administration group (relative value) is 110 or more when the behavior amount of the non-administration group is 100, and in the evaluation by the blood biomarker measurement, When the measured concentration of the non-administered group is 100, the measured concentration (relative value) of the administered group is 96 or less, and the fatigue inhibitor is evaluated to have an effect of preventing muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue.

本発明の疲労防止剤に用いられる組成物は、従来には無い組成と量比によるアミノ酸組成物である。これにより、従来不十分であった疲労防止について高い効果を得ることが出来る。すなわち本発明により初めて、実際の筋肉疲労と神経疲労との双方を同時に防止することが出来る。   The composition used for the anti-fatigue agent of the present invention is an amino acid composition based on a composition and quantity ratio that have not existed before. Thereby, the high effect can be acquired about the fatigue prevention which was inadequate conventionally. That is, for the first time according to the present invention, both actual muscle fatigue and nerve fatigue can be prevented simultaneously.

本発明においては、その評価系として疲労時の行動量測定と疲労時の血中バイオマーカー測定との2種の評価系を特に用いて、それぞれを筋肉疲労と精神疲労の指標とした。その結果、本発明のアミノ酸組成物に関して特に両評価系における顕著な疲労防止効果を得ることが出来た。   In the present invention, two types of evaluation systems, namely, an action amount measurement during fatigue and a blood biomarker measurement during fatigue were used as the evaluation systems, and these were used as indicators of muscle fatigue and mental fatigue, respectively. As a result, the remarkable anti-fatigue effect in both evaluation systems could be obtained with the amino acid composition of the present invention.

また本発明によれば、従来のアミノ酸組成物よりも少ない種類のアミノ酸で高い疲労防止効果を得ることが出来るために、調製に必要な原材料種が減り、工業的にも経済的にも高い効果を奏する。   In addition, according to the present invention, since a high fatigue prevention effect can be obtained with fewer types of amino acids than conventional amino acid compositions, the number of raw material types required for preparation is reduced, and this is highly industrially and economically effective. Play.

さらに、従来のアミノ酸組成物よりも少ない量のアミノ酸により高い疲労防止効果が得られることからも、工業的にも経済的にも高い効果を奏する。また、従来同等の効果を得るように調製した場合には、それぞれのアミノ酸の使用量が少なく、これを飲料等に適するように調製した場合には飲料として低容量化を計ることができ、特にスポーツドリンクなど携帯用飲料として有効なものとなる。   Furthermore, since a high fatigue prevention effect can be obtained with a smaller amount of amino acid than the conventional amino acid composition, the effect is high both industrially and economically. In addition, when prepared so as to obtain the same effect as before, the amount of each amino acid used is small, and when it is prepared so as to be suitable for a beverage or the like, the volume can be reduced as a beverage. It becomes effective as portable drinks such as sports drinks.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明するが、本発明は以下に述べる個々の形態には限定されない。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the individual forms described below.

また本発明の疲労防止剤は、疲労時の行動量測定と疲労時の血中バイオマーカー測定との2種の評価系により、筋肉疲労および神経疲労の双方において疲労防止効果があると評価される。   Further, the anti-fatigue agent of the present invention is evaluated as having an anti-fatigue effect in both muscular fatigue and nerve fatigue by two types of evaluation systems, ie, an action amount measurement during fatigue and a blood biomarker measurement during fatigue. .

行動量測定による評価は、例えば、投与群(アミノ酸組成物を投与)と非投与群(コントロール群)との2つの群に対し、トレッドミルなどによって運動負荷を与え、2群の行動量をそれぞれ測定し、非投与群の行動量を100とした場合の投与群の相対的な行動量を算出して行った。投与群の行動量(相対値)が、100を越えた場合、好ましくは110以上、さらに好ましくは120以上、とくに好ましくは190以上の場合、投与したアミノ酸組成物は、筋肉疲労の防止効果を有すると評価できる。なお、投与群の行動量(相対値)は、数値が大きいほど筋肉疲労の防止効果が高いと評価できる。   Evaluation by the behavioral amount measurement is performed by, for example, applying exercise load by a treadmill or the like to the two groups of the administration group (administration of the amino acid composition) and the non-administration group (control group). The measurement was carried out by calculating the relative behavior amount of the administration group when the behavior amount of the non-administration group was 100. When the behavior amount (relative value) of the administration group exceeds 100, the administered amino acid composition has an effect of preventing muscle fatigue, preferably 110 or more, more preferably 120 or more, particularly preferably 190 or more. Then you can evaluate. In addition, it can be evaluated that the action amount (relative value) of the administration group has a higher effect of preventing muscle fatigue as the value increases.

血中バイオマーカー測定による評価は、例えば、投与群(アミノ酸組成物を投与)と非投与群(コントロール群)との2つの群に対し、トレッドミルなどによって運動負荷を与え、一定時間経過後に採血し、2群の血中バイオマーカーの濃度をそれぞれ測定し、非投与群の測定濃度を100とした場合の投与群の相対的な測定濃度を算出して行った。任意の血中バイオマーカー(コルチゾール、インターフェロン−γ(IFN−γ)、インターロイキン−10(IL−10)を含む)を指標とした場合、投与群の測定濃度(相対値)が100未満の場合、好ましくは96以下の場合、神経疲労の防止効果を有すると評価できる。   Evaluation by blood biomarker measurement is performed by, for example, applying exercise load by a treadmill or the like to two groups, an administration group (administration of amino acid composition) and a non-administration group (control group), and blood is collected after a lapse of a certain time. Then, the concentrations of the two groups of blood biomarkers were measured, and the relative measured concentration of the administration group was calculated when the measurement concentration of the non-administration group was 100. When any blood biomarker (including cortisol, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-10 (IL-10)) is used as an index, and the measured concentration (relative value) of the administration group is less than 100 In the case of preferably 96 or less, it can be evaluated as having an effect of preventing nerve fatigue.

とくにコルチゾールを指標とした場合、投与群の測定濃度(相対値)が、好ましくは95以下、さらに好ましくは80以下の場合、神経疲労の防止効果を有すると評価できる。またIFN−γを指標とした場合、投与群の測定濃度(相対値)が、好ましくは60以下、さらに好ましくは45以下の場合、神経疲労の防止効果を有すると評価できる。さらにIL−10を指標とした場合、投与群の測定濃度(相対値)が、好ましくは70以下、さらに好ましくは50以下の場合、神経疲労の防止効果を有すると評価できる。
なお、投与群の測定濃度(相対値)は、数値が小さいほど神経疲労の防止効果が高いと評価できる。
In particular, when cortisol is used as an index, when the measured concentration (relative value) of the administration group is preferably 95 or less, more preferably 80 or less, it can be evaluated as having an effect of preventing nerve fatigue. Further, when IFN-γ is used as an index, it can be evaluated that it has an effect of preventing nerve fatigue when the measured concentration (relative value) of the administration group is preferably 60 or less, more preferably 45 or less. Further, when IL-10 is used as an index, when the measured concentration (relative value) of the administration group is preferably 70 or less, more preferably 50 or less, it can be evaluated that it has an effect of preventing nerve fatigue.
In addition, it can be evaluated that the measured concentration (relative value) of the administration group has a higher effect of preventing nerve fatigue as the numerical value is smaller.

以下、本発明の実施例を挙げて本発明についてさらに詳細に説明を行うが、本発明は、これらの具体的な実施例に限定されない。   EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although the Example of this invention is given and this invention is demonstrated further in detail, this invention is not limited to these specific Examples.

マウス(雄、8週齢、C57BL/6N、飼育環境23±3℃で明暗12時間サイクル)を各群の体重が出来るだけ均一になるように割り付け、各群3〜4匹からなるサンプル群(実施例)とコントロール群(比較例)とに分けた。これらは絶食させずに、本発明の疲労防止剤又はコントロールとしての生理食塩水を強制経口投与した。投与後1時間後にトレッドミル試験(25m/minで60分)による運動負荷を与えた。   Mice (male, 8 weeks old, C57BL / 6N, rearing environment 23 ± 3 ° C., 12 hours light / dark cycle) were allocated so that the weight of each group was as uniform as possible, and a sample group consisting of 3 to 4 animals in each group ( Example) and control group (comparative example). Without fasting, the anti-fatigue agent of the present invention or physiological saline as a control was orally administered by gavage. One hour after administration, exercise load was applied by a treadmill test (60 minutes at 25 m / min).

なお、投与量はアミノ酸換算で500mg/kg体重(5%懸濁液を10μL/g体重にて投与)とした。ここで投与した本発明の疲労防止剤のアミノ酸組成を表1に示す(アミノ酸組成の数値は重量部にて示す)。   The dose was 500 mg / kg body weight in terms of amino acid (5% suspension was administered at 10 μL / g body weight). The amino acid composition of the anti-fatigue agent of the present invention administered here is shown in Table 1 (values of amino acid composition are shown in parts by weight).

[試験1](疲労時の行動量測定)
トレッドミルによる運動負荷付与後に行動量測定を行った。なお行動量としては、赤色ランプ点灯下で30分間に行動した道のりの合計を測定した。コントロール群(比較例1)を100としたときのそれぞれの実施例における行動量を示した。すなわち、数値が大きいほど筋肉疲労が少ないものと考えられる。
[Test 1] (Measurement of behavior during fatigue)
The amount of behavior was measured after the exercise load was applied by the treadmill. In addition, as the amount of action, the total of the distance which acted for 30 minutes under the red lamp lighting was measured. The amount of behavior in each example when the control group (Comparative Example 1) is 100 is shown. That is, the larger the value, the less muscle fatigue.

[試験2](疲労時の血中バイオマーカー測定)
トレッドミル試験終了後一定時間経過後に採血し、血液中の免疫学的指標としてコルチゾール、インターフェロン−γ(IFN−γ)、インターロイキン−10(IL−10)を測定した。コントロール群を100としたときのそれぞれの実施例における濃度を示した。すなわち、数値が小さいほど疲労感が低く、精神的疲労が少ないものと考えられる。
[Test 2] (Measurement of blood biomarkers during fatigue)
Blood was collected after a lapse of a certain time after completion of the treadmill test, and cortisol, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured as immunological indicators in the blood. The concentration in each example when the control group was 100 was shown. That is, it is considered that the smaller the numerical value, the lower the feeling of fatigue and the less the mental fatigue.

なお、これらの評価方法は、大阪市立大学医学部生化学・分子病態学講座井上正康教授らが2005年の日本生化学会で発表した方法(演題:運動疲労における免疫応答システムの性差解析、生化学、2005年、第77巻、p.1056)に基づいて行った。   In addition, these evaluation methods are the methods announced by Prof. Masayasu Inoue and others at Osaka City University School of Medicine, Biochemistry and Molecular Pathology (title: Gender difference analysis of immune response system in exercise fatigue, biochemistry, 2005, Vol. 77, p.1056).

Figure 0005775657
Figure 0005775657

本発明の実施例1〜6の疲労防止剤においては、比較例1と比べ、トレッドミルによる運動負荷を与えた後にもさらに行動することが出来るという筋肉疲労の防止効果が高いことが分かる。特に、実施例5及び6においては非常に高い運動後の行動量を示している。   In the anti-fatigue agents of Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention, it can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1, the effect of preventing muscular fatigue that can be further acted after applying an exercise load by a treadmill is high. In particular, Examples 5 and 6 show a very high amount of action after exercise.

また、血中バイオマーカー測定による結果では、本発明の実施例1〜6においては、コルチゾール、IFN−γ、IL−10の濃度上昇が著しく抑制されている。これら化合物は疲労感の上昇に比例して濃度が高くなるため、精神疲労の代替指標として評価することができる。即ち、本発明の実施例1〜6では精神疲労の防止効果においても高い効果を有することが分かる。さらに、この傾向は実施例5及び6においてより顕著に現れることが判る。   Moreover, according to the results of blood biomarker measurement, in Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention, increases in the concentrations of cortisol, IFN-γ, and IL-10 are remarkably suppressed. Since these compounds increase in concentration in proportion to the increase in fatigue, they can be evaluated as alternative indicators of mental fatigue. That is, it can be seen that Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention have a high effect in preventing mental fatigue. Further, it can be seen that this tendency appears more remarkably in Examples 5 and 6.

上記のように、本発明によるアミノ酸組成物を含んでなる疲労防止剤は、筋肉疲労と精神疲労との双方を同時に防止するという、高い疲労防止効果を提供することが出来る。また、従来のような運動能力などの向上を目的とするアミノ酸組成物と比較して、より少ない種類のアミノ酸種類からなる組成物であるため、調製に必要な原材料種が減り、工業的にも経済的にも優れた効果を奏する。したがって、産業上の利用価値は高いものである。   As described above, the anti-fatigue agent comprising the amino acid composition according to the present invention can provide a high anti-fatigue effect of simultaneously preventing both muscle fatigue and mental fatigue. In addition, since it is a composition consisting of fewer types of amino acids compared to conventional amino acid compositions aimed at improving athletic ability, the number of raw material species required for preparation is reduced, and industrially It has an excellent economic effect. Therefore, the industrial utility value is high.
