Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an immunologically active peptide effective against senile osteoporosis accompanying various osteoarthropathies due to aging by bringing a pulverized substance containing bird or animal bones or bone marrows into contact with an aqueous solution of an acid and extracting an immunologically active peptide in the above-mentioned solution. CONSTITUTION:A pulverized substance containing bones or bone marrows of a bird or animal, such as chicken, pig, wild boar or cattle, is brought into contact with an aqueous solution of a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid, or an organic acid, such as formic, acetic, propionic or butyric acid, to extract an immunologically active peptide in the above- mentioned solution and afford the objective immunologically active peptide, distributed and present in animal tissues, such as mammals, especially nerves and digestive tract tissues and regarded as performing various regulating actions of living bodies and therefore, effectively acting on bone metabolic mechanisms of living bodies by administration to patients suffering from the afore-mentioned diseases.
