[0002] 二ガウリの果肉や種子は南アジアにおいて、伝統的に薬効のある植物として糖尿病 治療に利用されている。近年の研究により、血清及び肝臓中の TGを減少させ、脂肪 肝を予防する作用があるという報告がある (非特許文献 1、 2)。さらに、作用機構は未 解明であるが、糖尿病改善作用が認められてきている(非特許文献 3、特許文献 1)。 このように、二ガウリは糖尿病や高脂血症の改善など、様々な高機能性が認められて レ、る有用な野菜である。  [0002] Nigauri pulp and seeds are traditionally used as a medicinal plant for treatment of diabetes in South Asia. Recent studies have reported that serum and liver TGs are reduced to prevent fatty liver (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2). Furthermore, although the mechanism of action is not yet elucidated, an action to improve diabetes has been recognized (Non-patent Document 3, Patent Document 1). Thus, Nigauri is a useful vegetable that has been recognized for its various high functions such as diabetes and improvement of hyperlipidemia.
[0003] 一方、カツクロール(Kakrol、 Momordica dioica Roxb.)は、バングラデイシュ周辺で 雨季に収穫される野菜である。二ガウリと同様ゥリ科に属し、二ガウリに類似した形を しているが、二ガウリほどには苦味がない。カツクロールについては、これまで、栽培 法、単為結実、組織培養カルスからの植物体再生、及び形態学上'生理学上の特徴 等の面力 研究されてきた (非特許文献 4〜7)。  [0003] On the other hand, Kakrol (Momordica dioica Roxb.) Is a vegetable that is harvested in the rainy season around Bangladesh. It belongs to the cucurbitaceae like Nigauri and has a shape similar to Nigauri, but it is not as bitter as Nigauri. Regarding katschlor, research has been conducted on surface strength such as cultivation method, parthenocarpy, plant regeneration from tissue culture callus, and morphological characteristics (non-patent documents 4 to 7).
[0004] さらにカツクロールはビタミン高含有であることが知られている力 多くの機能性につ いて検討の余地がある。  [0004] Furthermore, Katstrol is known to have a high vitamin content.

[0048] 考察: [0048] Discussion:
Kakrolには血清コレステロール濃度の低下作用があり、肝臓脂質の低下作用を示 す物質が含まれていることが示唆された。食品成分で同様の作用が見られるものとし ては、大豆タンパク質が挙げられる力 その際の食餌中の大豆タンパク質の割合は 2 0%である。 3%カツクロール食における本実施例での結果は従来の食品成分からは 予 ¾|できなレ、顕著なものであるとレ、える。  It was suggested that Kakrol has an effect of lowering serum cholesterol concentration and contains substances that show an action of lowering liver lipids. The ability of food ingredients to have the same effect is the ability of soy protein. The percentage of soy protein in the diet is 20%. The results in this example for a 3% cut crawl meal are unpredictable and conspicuous from conventional food ingredients.

血清中の TBARS濃度は Control群と比較して Kakrol群で有意に低かった。 カツクロールの肝臓脂質及び血清コレステロール濃度低下作用は、 TGの吸収を抑 制することに起因していると示唆された。よって今後はカツクロールの脂質吸収阻害 の機構を明らかにするため、小腸吸収細胞での脂質の輸送に及ぼす影響を検討す る。また今回飼育したアポ E欠損マウスの大動脈切片を作成し、カツクロールが動脈 硬化症の進展に及ぼす影響も評価する予定である。
Figure imgf000019_0001
Serum TBARS concentrations were significantly lower in the Kakrol group compared to the Control group. It was suggested that the effect of Katstrol on lowering liver lipid and serum cholesterol levels was due to suppression of TG absorption. Therefore, in the future, in order to clarify the mechanism of inhibition of lipid absorption by katschlor, the effect on lipid transport in small intestinal absorptive cells will be examined. In addition, we plan to make aortic sections of apo E-deficient mice reared this time and evaluate the effect of katchlor on the progression of arteriosclerosis.
