In general, 'fatigue' is defined as' a state in which work efficiency deteriorates when performing work ',' a state in which confusion of homeostasis occurs', or a state in which cortical restraint occurs, 'a decrease in ability to perform physical and mental activities '.

Such fatigue is generally caused by fatigue and fatigue, and it is a disease accompanied by a variety of symptoms such as sleep disturbance or insufficient desire. Fatigue or malaise is one of the important alarm signals to inform the body of an abnormality. It is awakened to intense exercise even in a healthy normal state, to a case of long working hours, or to a situation of excessive stress. This physiological fatigue usually restores the original normal state by resting on the body and does not last long.

Recently, diseases that become Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are becoming a topic of intractable diseases. This represents the basic symptoms of long-term systemic fatigue, malaise, fever, lymphadenopathy, myalgia, arthralgia, mental neuropathy, which may interfere with daily life.

It was confirmed that it had anti-fatigue activity. On the other hand, as a result of confirming the effect of maintaining the dopamine inhibition and serotonin concentration of each individual extract, the effect was remarkably high when using the extract of mignard, and the effect of the extract of mignard used alone Was superior to anti-fatigue activity and stress-inhibiting effect.

Therefore, it was investigated whether the mint extract and other plant extracts showed synergistic effect. The extracts of the ginseng root extracts, the ginseng extract, the ginseng extract, the ginseng extract, the ginseng extract, Mixed extracts of Fagaceae Extract, Pheasant Leg Extract, Butterfly Extract, Why Chopsticks Full Extract, Herb Extract, Lycopersicon esculentum Extract, Lycopersicon esculentum Extract, The extracts of Rhizoctonia japonica L., Leaf Rhizoma Extract, Leaf Rhizoma Extract, Leaf Extract of Frog, Leaf Extract of Frog, Leaf Extract of Pheasant, Extract of Buttercup Larvae, Why Chopsticks Extract, Leaf Extract, Leaf Extract, Anti-fatigue activity, dopamine The serotonin and maintain the effect was lower than the effect it is excellent, but with the heart point extract alone.

Therefore, it was confirmed that when the mignard extract alone is used, it has the best anti-fatigue activity and is most effective in preventing or improving fatigue because it has the highest effect of inhibiting dopamine and maintaining serotonin.

On the other hand, the fatigue used throughout the specification of the present invention is defined to include not only fatigue but also chronic fatigue syndrome or hyperactivity as a preliminary meaning.

The anti-fatigue activity used throughout the specification of the present invention refers to an activity of reducing fatigue or restoring fatigue, specifically, improving the functioning duration of the exercise or the functioning site (including the brain) , And to suppress the increase of fatigue material at the same momentum or action amount (endurance enhancement, physical strength enhancement), to improve the fatigue detection state of the brain or nerve even though the exercise or the affected part is not fatigued, and This refers to the effect of promoting the recovery of the fatigue state of the exercised or operated part to the normal state.

In addition, chronic fatigue syndrome referred to in the present invention refers to basic symptoms such as long-term systemic fatigue, malaise, fever, lymphadenopathy, myalgia, arthralgia, and mental neuropathy which may interfere with daily life.

The composition for prevention and improvement of fatigue according to the present invention can treat this chronic fatigue syndrome, that is, alleviate each symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome, and can transition to a normal state.

In addition, the overspring of the composition for prevention and improvement of fatigue according to the present invention means that, even in the severe overwork state, the body can not maintain vitality, fatigue can not be felt sufficiently, Vascular disease or heart disease, leading to permanent labor failure or death. The anti-fatigue agent of the present invention can treat chronic fatigue syndrome, thereby preventing overwork.

Furthermore, the composition for prevention and improvement of fatigue may be one which inhibits dopamine and prevents serotonin from being inhibited, and thus has anti-stress activity.

When the plant extracts are used, secretion of neurotransmitters (hormones) such as dopamine, noradrenaline, corticosterone, etc. which are secreted by the singal from the hypothalamus to the central nervous system during stress can be further reduced, Since the levels can further increase secretion of decreasing serotonin, they can exert excellent efficacy in reducing or eliminating stress. Furthermore, since the plant extract is a natural physiologically active substance, there is no need to worry about side effects or toxicity during ingestion or administration of an animal. In particular, there is no risk of drowsiness or drug dependence due to excessive relaxation by drug treatment, Also, it can be safe for human body even if it is administered for a long time or in large doses.

Stress referred to in the present invention is defined as not only stress but also depression and insomnia, which are diseases caused by stress. Anti-stress means that the stress is prevented, alleviated or improved.

The fatigue may be a chronic fatigue syndrome.

The plant extract may be any one selected from the group consisting of water, organic solvents having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, subcritical fluids, supercritical fluids, and mixtures thereof.

Preferably, the solvent is water or an alcohol solvent having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The plants and the solvent to be extracted may be mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 1 to 1:15. In the above range, it may be advantageous to obtain an effective substance having not only high anti-fatigue activity but also a dopamine-inhibiting activity.

Preferably, the solvent is a mixture of water and ethanol in a weight ratio of 1: 10 to 10: 1, and the plant extract is prepared by mixing the plant and the solvent in a weight ratio of 1: 5 to 1:10, For 2 to 12 hours and 2 to 7 times repeatedly.

By the above range, it is not only advantageous for obtaining the effective substance but also toxic for mignard and has a strong spicy taste. Therefore, if it is within the above range, the toxicity is lowered to solve the problem of side effect and to remove strong spicy taste .

The food composition according to another embodiment of the present invention may include the composition for preventing and improving fatigue.

Since the food composition has anti-fatigue activity and anti-stress activity, it can provide a functional food for relieving the chronic fatigue syndrome associated with it, overwork, depression or insomnia, and can be used for a long period of time It has the advantage of not having any side effects.

Preferably, the food composition contains 0.03% to 0.8% by weight of mignury extract. When the mignard extract is contained in an amount of less than 0.03%, the effect of suppressing dopamine secretion and maintaining the serotonin concentration is insignificant. When the mignard extract is contained in an amount of more than 0.8% by weight, There is a problem that it can not be used as a food composition depending on the toxicity contained in the middlings.

The composition for prevention and improvement of fatigue according to the present invention has no problem of side effects by using a component derived from a natural product and can be taken for a long time and has an excellent anti-fatigue effect.

[Production Example: Preparation of Extract]

Fragrant Extract, Thistle Leaf Extract, Thistle Leaf Extract, Thistle Leaf Extract, Thistle Leaf Extract, Thistle Leaf Extract, Thistle Leaf Extract, Frog Leaf Extract, Frog Leaf Extract, Frog Leaf Extract, Pheasant Leaf Extract Each plant was screened and pulverized, and a solvent mixed with water and ethanol was mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 5 to 1:10 to prepare an extract.

On the other hand, in the case of the mignoli extract having the best anti-fatigue activity and antistress activity, the Minderian extract was separately ground and pulverized, and then the solvent in which the pulverized Mindari was mixed with water and ethanol was diluted with 1: 5 to 1:10, and the extract is repeated 2 to 7 times at an extraction temperature of 50 to 100 ° C for 2 to 7 hours. The extract is filtered with a filter, concentrated in vacuo, mixed with the extract and dextrin And then spray-dried to prepare an extract of Minderian.

[Test Example 1: Test for measuring weight and organ weight]

The adrenal gland is a stress-sensitive organ that secretes cortisol in response to stress in the adrenal cortex and catecholamine hormone in the adrenal gland in response to stress. Therefore, the adrenal hypertrophy and adrenal weight are increased due to stress, and the spleen associated with immunity is contracted by stress and the spleen weight is decreased.

In order to confirm the effect of preventing and improving the stress of the composition of the present invention, the composition prepared according to the above Preparation Example was administered to experimental animals to confirm adrenal and spleen weight changes. In addition, we observed changes in body weight of experimental animals due to stress.

A nine-week-old Sparague-Dawley-rat (Samtako) was used and subjected to a one-week adaptation period and used in the experiment. The animals were housed in a controlled room with a room temperature of 23 degrees, in which the lights were turned off in 12 hour increments. The feeds used were solid feeds and the water used was disinfected water. Feed and water were not restricted.

After extracting the extract of Mugwang organs of the above preparation example in distilled water, it was orally administered (50 mg / kg) once a day for 1 month continuously at 14-15 hours. The experimental group consisted of 3 groups, the stressed control group, the muguri herb extract group, and the normal control group, which did not give both the stress and the extract. For each experimental group, five rats were used. From 7 days after administration, the rats were placed in a cylinder of 6 cm in width and 14 cm in length, and fixed at an inclination of 45 degrees to induce stress for 3 weeks. The body weight was measured once a week, and the body weight was finally measured immediately before the sacrifice of the experimental animals to check the stress and the weight change of the experimental animals due to administration of the composition of the present invention.

The rats were anesthetized with 4% isoflurane to remove the adrenal gland and the spleen was weighed. Results were compared with mean and standard error for the weight, spleen, and adrenal mass of the normal controls. Statistical analysis using Student's t-test was used to compare the results of the mignori-treated group and the stress-control group, and it was regarded as significant at p <0.05. The results of each experimental group are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that stressed experimental animals have decreased body weight, adrenal weight, and spleen weight, respectively, as compared with the normal control group. However, it was confirmed that the weight loss was suppressed in the group administered with the extract of Moglii extract and the adrenal and spleen weights were maintained to a similar level to that of the normal control group.

Therefore, it can be seen that the composition effectively suppresses weight loss, adrenal enlargement and spleen atrophy by stress, maintains hormonal balance from stress, and maintains the health of the immune system related organ.

[Experimental Example 2: Stress Response Behavior Improvement Test - Forced Swimming Test]

The following experiment was conducted to confirm the effect of the stress-induced behavioral change on the extract of Mindygum extract according to the present invention.

After 4 weeks of ICR male mice (Samtaco Bio Korea, Inc.), the lights were turned on and off repeatedly every 12 hours after the adaptation period of one week, and the room temperature was maintained at 18 to 23 ° C and humidity was maintained at 60% . The feeds were fed solid feed and there were no restrictions on feeding and watering except in the process of inducing stress.

The extract of Mugwang organs of the above Preparation Example was dissolved in distilled water and then orally administered (40 mg / kg) once a day for 1 month continuously at 14-15 hours. The experimental group consisted of 3 groups, the stressed control group, the muguri herb extract group, and the normal control group, which did not give both the stress and the extract. For each experimental group, 5 animals were used, and daily stress for 4 weeks was induced from 7 days after administration. The stress-inducing method is modified by the method of Willner et al. (Wilner et al., Reduction of sucrose preference by chronic unpredictable mild stress, 1987). Specifically, fasting, dietary restriction after fasting , Creating an unexpected variety of mental stress situations such as providing an empty water bottle after the singularity, leaning a kennel, breeding a large number of laboratory animals in a kennel, flashing lights, cold rooms, and constant light.

A forced swimming test was performed on test animals. A cylindrical transparent water tank (14 cm in diameter, 20 cm in height) was filled with water at 23 to 25 ° C so that the water depth was 15 cm, and then one test animal was placed in the water tank. All test animals were forced to swim in a cylindrical water bath for 6 minutes. 2 minutes after the start of the experiment, the total time (hereinafter referred to as &quot; floating time &quot;) in which the experimental animal did not move in the cylindrical water tank was measured and recorded for 4 minutes before the end. Specifically, the term "immovable time" refers to a state in which there is no movement (immobility), except for a small movement of the head over the surface of the water. Immobility is one of the depression indicators of depression and is common in stress laboratory animals.

Results were expressed as mean and standard error. Statistical significance was verified by statistical analysis using Student's t-test to compare the results of the middlery treatment group and the stress control group, and the results were expressed as being significant at p <0.05. The results are shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 3, it can be seen that stressed experimental animals have a longer floating time than stressed control animals in comparison to the normal control group. However, it was found that the immobilization time was shorter in the group administered with the extract of Angelica gigas Nakai than in the negative control group.

Therefore, it can be understood that the above-mentioned composition improves the behavior such as depression and despair caused by stress, thereby preventing and improving stress.

[Experimental Example 3: Stress Response Behavior Improvement Test - Tail Suspension Method]

The test animals of Experimental Example 3 were subjected to the tail suspension method. The test animals were held at a height of 15 cm from the bottom and 1 cm of the tail was held for 6 minutes to observe the movement of the test animals. The initial 2 minutes was considered as the adaptation period and the time when the animal did not move for 4 minutes before the end was measured and recorded.

Results were expressed as mean and standard error. Statistical significance was verified by statistical analysis using Student's t-test to compare the results of the middlery treatment group and the stress control group, and the results were expressed as being significant at p <0.05. The results are shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that the stressed animal is immersed in the inverted state of the tail, and the immobility time is longer than that of the normal control. However, in the group treated with Muguri herb extract, more immobility was observed than in the stress control group.

Therefore, it can be seen that the above-mentioned composition improves the lethargy and frustration caused by the stress, thereby preventing and improving the stress.

[Experimental Example 4: Serotonin measurement experiment]

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in mood, behavior, appetite, sleep, and muscle contraction. Serotonin depresses symptoms such as depression and decreases serotonin in stress situations.

The test animals in which the experiments of Experimental Examples 2 and 3 were finished were sacrificed by disassembling the cervical vertebrae. Brains were removed and the hippocampal tissues were rapidly cooled in a cold-cooled tube. Each tissue sample was sonicated by treatment with 0.4 M perchloric acid and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm (4 ° C) for centrifugation. For the analysis, Qi and other methods were slightly modified and high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) method was used.

Results are expressed as mean and standard error (% of control) compared to serotonin concentration in normal control. Statistical significance was tested by Student's t-test to compare significance of p <0.05 compared to control group. The results are shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the serotonin measured in the hippocampus of the stressed test animal is significantly lower than that of the normal control group. However, the serotonin level was maintained higher in the group administered with the extract of Moguri Herbal Extract than in the stress control group.

Therefore, it can be seen that the composition inhibits the decrease of serotonin due to stress, thereby preventing and improving stress.

[Experimental Example 5: Experiment for Measuring Dopamine]

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter of the central nervous system and is a precursor to norepinephrine, and is involved in cognition and attention concentration, compensation, and control of motor function. Since it is known that dopamine secretion is suppressed in a chronic stress situation, dopamine measurement experiments have confirmed the effect of preventing and improving stress due to the composition of the present invention.

Dopamine concentration was measured by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) method in the same manner as in Experimental Example 4 of the test animals in which the experiments of Experimental Examples 2 and 3 were completed.

Results are expressed as mean and standard error (% of control) compared to dopamine concentration in normal control. Statistical significance was tested by Student's t-test to compare significance of p <0.05 compared to control group. The results are shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the concentration of dopamine measured in the hippocampus of a stressed test animal is significantly lower than that of a normal control. However, the concentration of dopamine was maintained higher in the group administered with the extract of Moguri Herbal Extract than in the stress control group.

Therefore, it can be seen that the composition prevents and reduces stress by suppressing the decrease of dopamine due to stress.

[Experimental Example 6: Clinical trial for improving stress symptoms]

The composition of the present invention was encapsulated and clinical studies were conducted. Adults and boys aged 19 years and over were randomly assigned to 20 placebo-controlled and experimental groups, and stress-symptomatic trials were conducted. In the experimental group, the composition of the present invention, 400 mg / capsule of Angelica gigante Herbarium extract, was taken per day for 30 days per day, and the placebo control group received the same placebo capsules. Evaluation of improvement of stress symptoms was carried out before the start of administration and after 30 days of administration.

The Symptom Checklist-Revised (SCL-90-R) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate stress symptoms. SCL-90-R is a test method developed by Derogatis (1997). It is used for evaluation of physical and mental symptoms due to stress. Kim, Kwang-il et al. (1984) is widely used in Korea as well. This test has 90 items and each item is classified into nine sub - dimensions such as somatization, obsessive - compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, fear anxiety, paranoia, psychiatric scale. According to the degree of symptom, it uses 5 points from 'no (0) point' to 'very severe (4) point'.

The results were expressed as mean symptom improvement ratio by comparing scores before and after ingestion of 9 sub - dimensions. The results are shown in Fig.

7, about 30% to 58% of symptom improvement effect was observed in all items of stress-induced somatization, obsessive compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, fear anxiety, paranoia, there was. On the other hand, no significant symptom improvement was seen in the placebo-controlled group.

In order to evaluate the sleep disturbance caused by stress, Pittsburgh sleep test instrument test was performed. As shown in Table 2, this test is a total of 19 items. The score is scored on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3 for the quality of sleep during the past month. The greater the total score, the higher the severity of sleep disturbance.

The results showed percent reduction of PSQI before and after ingestion, ie improvement of sleep disturbance. Statistical significance was tested by Student's t-test, and it was considered as significant at p <0.05 compared with before consumption. The results are shown in Fig.

8, there was a 46% improvement in the sleep disturbance compared to the dose before the administration in the group receiving the extract of Mindi herb extract. On the other hand, no significant symptom improvement was seen in the placebo-controlled group.

Therefore, it can be seen that the composition improves various anti-body and mental symptoms due to stress and sleep disorder.

[Experimental Example 7: Experimental animal fatigue induction-treadmill]

A 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley-rat (Samtako) was used and subjected to a one-week adaptation period and used in the experiment. The animals were housed in a controlled room with a room temperature of 23 degrees, in which the lights were turned off in 12 hour increments. The feeds used were solid feeds and the water used was disinfected water. Feed and water were not restricted.

After extracting the extract of Mugwang organs of the above preparation example in distilled water, it was orally administered (50 mg / kg) once a day for 1 month continuously at 14-15 hours. The experimental group consisted of two control groups which induced fatigue, only physiological saline solution, and the group which ingested fatigue induction and Mindygarii extract.

After one week of administration, fatigue induction test animals were exercised once a day for three weeks using a small animal treadmill. In the first week, exercise was carried out at a speed of 15 m / min for 20 minutes, and fatigue was induced by exercise for 60 minutes at a rate of 30 m / min on the day of sacrifice by gradually increasing the speed and time. Respectively.

[Experimental Example 8: Measurement of Lactic Acid Concentration]

Lactic acid is the final product of anaerobic action. When fatigue accumulates, lactic acid accumulates in muscles, and when lactic acid accumulates, the body becomes acidified and fatigue is further induced. Therefore, in order to evaluate the fatigue improving effect of the composition of the present invention, the concentration of lactic acid in the blood of the test animal of Experimental Example 7 was measured.

Before the sacrifice of the experimental animal of Experimental Example 7, the blood was collected through the abdominal subcortical vein and centrifuged at 1,500 xg at 4 ° C for 15 minutes to separate plasma and used for the analysis. Plasma lactate concentrations were analyzed using an automated biochemical analyzer (Hitachi 7060, Hitachi, Japan).

Results were expressed as mean and standard error. Significance was tested by statistical analysis using Student's T-test, and it was regarded as significant at p <0.05 compared with fatigue control. The results are shown in Table 2.

[Experimental Example 9: Ammonia Concentration Measurement]

Ammonia causes the production of lactic acid and causes a rapid decline of glycogen, resulting in local fatigue in the muscles, and is transmitted through the blood to the brain, causing toxicity to the central nervous system.

Plasma separated from Experimental Example 8 was measured for blood ammonia concentration using an automatic biochemical analyzer (Hitachi 7060, Hitachi).

Results were expressed as mean and standard error. Significance was tested by statistical analysis using Student's T-test, and it was regarded as significant at p <0.05 compared with fatigue control. The results are shown in Table 2.

[Experimental Example 10: Measurement of Inorganic Phosphate Concentration]

In muscle contraction, the concentration of inorganic phosphate increases, and this increased inorganic phosphate interferes with the ATPase action and inhibits energy production. Especially during strong exercise, accumulation of inorganic phosphate due to ATP hydrolysis and accumulation of hydrogen ion increases the formation of acidic form of inorganic phosphate (H ₂ PO ₄ ^- ). Therefore, as the fatigue accumulates, the concentration of inorganic phosphoric acid in blood increases, and when fatigue improves, the concentration of inorganic phosphate in blood decreases.

Plasma isolated from Experimental Example 8 was measured for blood phosphorus phosphate concentration using an automatic biochemical analyzer (Hitachi 7060, Hitachi).

Results were expressed as mean and standard error. Significance was tested by statistical analysis using Student's T-test, and it was regarded as significant at p <0.05 compared with fatigue control. The results are shown in Table 2.

Fatigue control Fatigue + mind girly Lactate (mg / dl) 38 ± 2.4 29 ± 1.8 * Ammonia (占 퐂 / dl) 429 ± 19.5 287 ± 8.6 * Inorganic phosphorus (mg / dl) 6.5 ± 0.2 5.3 ± 0.1 *

Referring to Table 2, it can be seen that blood concentrations of lactic acid, ammonia, and inorganic phosphate increased due to fatigue in the group treated with Mignerium extract were statistically lower than those in the control group.

[Experimental Example 11: Measurement of glycogen concentration in muscles]

Glycogen concentration was measured by the Anthrone method. The muscle was dissolved in 30% KOH solution, and the mixture was boiled in boiling water at 100 ° C for 20 minutes, and left at room temperature for 20 minutes. 96% ethanol was added thereto and centrifuged at 2000 x g for 10 minutes. After washing the precipitate with distilled water, distilled water and Anthrone reagent were added and reacted at 100 ° C for 20 minutes. Absorbance was measured at 620 nm and compared with glucose standard solution.

Results are expressed as mean and standard error (% of control) compared to glycogen levels in fatigue control. Statistical significance was assessed by Student's t-test to compare significance of p <0.05 compared to control group. The results are shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 9, it was found that the glycogen concentration of the energy source muscle was increased by 60% or more in the group treated with the extract of Minderium herb extracts compared to the fat control group. Therefore, it can be seen that fatigue is improved by keeping the energy source decreasing due to fatigue high by the composition.

[Experimental Example 12: Clinical trial for improving fatigue symptoms]

The composition of the present invention was encapsulated and clinical studies were conducted. Adults and boys aged 19 years and over were randomly assigned to 20 placebo-controlled and experimental groups, respectively. In the experimental group, the composition of the present invention, 400 mg / capsule of Angelica gigante Herbarium extract, was taken per day for 30 days per day, and the placebo control group received the same placebo capsules. Evaluation of improvement of fatigue symptoms was carried out before the start of administration and after 30 days of administration.

Fatigue evaluation was performed using Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS). The MFS is a reconstruction of the FAI (Fatigue Assessment Inventory) developed by Schwartz et al., And is designed to answer the fatigue level of each question from one to five points for the past two weeks. The higher the score, the higher the fatigue.

The results showed percent reduction of total MFS before and after ingestion, that is, fatigue improvement rate. Statistical significance was tested by Student's t-test, and it was considered as significant at p <0.05 compared with before consumption. The results are shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 10, there was an improvement of 38% in the group receiving the extract of Mindi herb extracts compared to that before administration. On the other hand, no significant symptom improvement was seen in the placebo-controlled group.

Thus, it can be understood that the composition improves the physical and mental fatigue.
