Ketosis refers to the state of using a ketone instead of an energy source of glucose. When fat metabolism in the body increases, the body becomes dangerous with high concentration of ketosis. When glucose is reduced in the body, the liver begins to burn fat because it has to make energy into glucose. As a result, the ketone body is made in the state of ketosis.

Ketosis is closely related to fat metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism. If the body is rapidly using a low concentration of glucose, the metabolism is changed to a ketosis state until the human body is able to consume a carbohydrate-rich diet in order to switch to the corresponding process. High concentrations of ketosis are very dangerous, increase the acidity of the blood, and affect the normal function of the liver and kidneys. Many studies related to Ketosis have been carried out. For example, Loor et al. 2007> describes that the expression of growth hormone receptor (GHR) downregulates ketosis.

On the other hand, MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a natural organic sulfur compound mainly present in foods such as vegetables and fruits. It is known that the MSM plays a major role in anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-immunity mechanisms for various cancers.

As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the BHB level was inhibited by 50% under high glucose conditions, and the BHB level was found to be about 32% depending on whether 40 mM MSM was treated or not. This means that MSM interferes with the formation of ketone bodies in the ketosyl state.

Example  3

Since GHR expression levels play an important role in the subclinical state of ketosis, the level of GHR in the ketocys induced cells by MSM treatment was analyzed. As described in the above-mentioned Reference Example, 3% low Glucose condition (L Glc), 9% high Gloss Gloss condition (H Glc), 3% low concentration Glucose and 30 mM MSM were applied under the treatment condition L Glc + MSM 30 mM) % Of low glucose and 30 mM MSM were cultured in the condition of L + Glm + MSM 40 mM for 24 hours, and the proteins were separated and Western blotting was carried out.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, it was confirmed that the GHR expression in the MSM treated condition was similar to that in the absence of any treatment. This means that an anti-ketosis appears due to MSM treatment.

Example  4

ANGPTL3 (Angiopoetin like protein-3) is an important target molecule for treating ketosis. Thus, the ANGPTL3 expression level was analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting, as described in the reference example.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, ANGPTL3 expression was confirmed to be upregulated in the ketosis state. When compared to low glucose conditions, the expression of ANGPTL3 was decreased under high glucose conditions, and the expression of ANGPTL3 was also decreased in the group treated with 30 mM and 40 mM of MSM. This means that inhibition of ANGPTL3 by MSM inhibits ketosis.

Example  5

STAT5b is a transcription factor of ANGPTL3. Thus, STAT5b activated and IGF-1Rβ, its downstream target molecule, were analyzed. The experiment was carried out under the conditions of low glucose (L Glc) at 3%, high glucose concentration (H Glc) at 9%, glucose at low concentration of 3% and 30 mM MSM under conditions of treatment (L Glc + MSM 30 mM) 30 mM MSM was proceeded with the treatment conditions (L Glc + MSM 40 mM), and the proteins were separated from the whole cell lysate and subjected to Western blotting as described in the Reference Example, and the results are shown in FIG.

FIG. 11 shows the results of the measurement of glucose concentration (L Glc + MSM 30mM), 3% low glucose glucose concentration (L Glc), 3% low glucose glucose concentration (L Glc), 9% high glucose concentration (H Glc), 3% low glucose glucose and 30 mM MSM And 30 mM MSM were determined by western blotting of expression amounts of pSTAT5 (phosphorylated), STAT5b, IGF-1Rβ, and pIGF-1Rβ (phosphorylated) at the treatment conditions (L Glc + MSM 40 mM).

As shown in Fig. 11, the expression levels of STAT5b and IGF-1Rβ were increased under high glucose conditions, and MSM-treated group showed the same results. These results were similar to those of upregulating GHR expression, suggesting that STAT5b acts as ANGPTL3.

Example  6

As in the fifth embodiment The expression of STAT5b in cell lysates was upregulated by MSM treatment. Thus, the TAT5b / DNA (GAS element) binding activity was confirmed by EMSA as described in the above reference example, and the cell nuclear extract was analyzed by using an extraction kit. The results are shown in FIG. 12 and FIG.

FIG. 12 shows the result of the EMSA. FIG. 13 shows the result of the EMSA. FIG. 13 shows the results of the LMS + MSM 30mM), 3% low glucose and 30mM MSM by Western blotting with the expression levels of pSTAT5b and STAT5b under processing conditions (L Glc + MSM 40mM).

As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, a high glucose concentration (H Glc) of 9%, a low concentration glucose of 3% and a 30 mM MSM were added under the treatment conditions (L Glc + MSM 30 mM), 3% low glucose and 30 mM MSM It was confirmed that the DNA binding activity in the treatment condition (L Glc + MSM 40mM) was increased. In addition, we confirmed that the DNA binding phenomenon is similar through the expression level of STAT5b and STAT5b phosphorylated against TBP. This is significant in confirming that MSM inhibits the ketosis state in vitro.

Example  7

The relationship between STAT5b and ANGPTL3 was analyzed. Specifically, the expression of ANGPTL3 was analyzed using western blotting by blocking the activity of STAT5b using siSTAT5b RNA (STAT5 siRNA) as described in the above reference example, and the results are shown in Figs. 14 and 15 .

FIG. 14 shows the results of the Western blotting, and FIG. 15 shows the expression levels of STAT5b and ANGPTL3 based on the β-action.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the role of STAT5b in the transcription of ANGPTL3 was confirmed. In STAT5b siRNA, expression of ANGPTL3 was increased in the MSM untreated control group and the 40 mM MSM treated group. Expression of non-target siRNAs in the control (control) and 40 mM MSM treatment groups showed similar results. This implies that STAT5b plays an important role in the ketosis state.
