Definitions

  • the present invention relates to functional food for improving an endogenous melatonin secretion rhythm and functional food for improving a circadian rhythm, which are expected to prevent or ameliorate sleep disorder or prolonged sleep latency, a material for the active component of such food, and an agent for phase-adjusting or enhancing the amplitude of an endogenous melatonin secretion rhythm and an agent for improving a circadian rhythm, which may prevent or ameliorate various disorders associated with disorders of the endogenous melatonin secretion rhythm or the circadian rhythm.
  • circadian rhythm disorder such as sleep disorder, or disorder of an endogenous melatonin secretion rhythm, which is a possible factor for the circadian rhythm disorder
  • melatonin N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine secreted mainly from the corpus pineale.
  • Melatonin is a hormone synthesized from tryptophan through serotonin under the action of NAT (N-acetyltransferase) as a rate-limiting enzyme.
  • This hormone is believed to be involved in introduction of photoperiodic information in photoperiodic mammals and exert an influence on reproduction, body weight, metabolic regulation, circadian rhythm control, as well as nervous and endocrine functions. Further, since the melatonin secretion level of the corpus pineale is low in the day time and high in the night time, melatonin is believed to be one of the sleep-modulatory substances.
  • melatonin secretion rhythm in patients with sleep disorder or circadian rhythm disorder is different from that of healthy people in that the amplitude is decreased or the phase is either advanced or delayed.
  • Patent Publication 1 reports that oral administration of melatonin from an external source to artificially regulate a melatonin rhythm has an effect on non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome, jet lag syndrome, shift-work sleep syndrome, delayed sleep phase syndrome, or the like, accompanied by prolonged sleep latency, insomnia, waking in bad mood, jet lag, reverse of day and night, or the like.
  • Patent Publication 2 proposes a composition for improving the quality of sleep, containing as the active component muramyl peptide prepared by hydrolysis from the cell wall of non-pathogenic lactic acid bacteria.
  • the improvement in the quality of sleep taught in this publication is achieved by increasing the length of the non-REM sleep phase through induction of sleep by the immune system, so that this way of improving the quality of sleep is completely different from the improvement of the endogenous melatonin secretion level.
