BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an anti-osteoporosis agent characterized by containing, as an active ingredient, a fish scale powder obtained by directly pulverizing fish scales.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bone mass decreases due to the disorder of bone resorption and bone formation caused by metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, and aging, resulting in bone coarsening. Symptoms include severe back pain and fractures caused by bone coarsening. In the case of an elderly person, this can lead to bedridden and death. As an anti-osteoporosis agent, a drug having a back and back pain relieving action, a bone resorption suppressing action, and a bone formation promoting action is considered, and calcitonin, vitamin D, a calcium agent and the like are used. However, there are no clinically satisfactory drugs in terms of drug efficacy and side effects, and anti-osteoporosis agents that are highly effective and have few side effects are desired.
[0003]
Fish scales are produced as a by-product in the production of processed fish products, but have not been used so far and have been discarded as residue. In recent years, use as a cooking material, water retention agent, fragrance and the like has been studied, but the effect of improving osteoporosis has not been known at all.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to provide a novel anti- osteoporosis agent that can solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of investigations to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that fish scale powder has an effect of improving osteoporosis and has fewer side effects such as decreased appetite, thereby completing the present invention.
[0006]
That is, an object of the present invention is to provide an anti- osteoporosis agent characterized by containing a fish scale powder obtained by directly pulverizing fish scales as an active ingredient .
[0007]
The fish scale used in the present invention may be any fish scale, and examples thereof include scales obtained from sardines, saury, Thailand, carp and the like. In the present invention, these fish scales are finely powdered by wet and dry pulverization using a pulverizer, atomizer, pin mill, hammer mill or the like. Alternatively, a pre-process using an electromagnetic field and then pulverizing with the pulverizer is used.
[0008]
The anti-osteoporosis agent of the present invention comprises the above fish scale powder as an active ingredient and is orally administered for the purpose of treatment / prevention of osteoporosis. In administration, it is administered in the form of fish scale powder itself, or in the form of a conventional pharmaceutical preparation by mixing the active ingredient with a solid, liquid or pasty non-toxic pharmaceutical carrier suitable for oral administration. Examples of such preparations include solid preparations such as tablets, granules, powders and capsules, liquid preparations such as solutions, suspensions and emulsions, freeze-dried preparations, and the like. It can be prepared by conventional means. Examples of the non-toxic pharmaceutical carrier include glucose, lactose, sucrose, starch, mannitol, dextrin, fatty acid glyceride, polyethylene glycol, hydroxyethyl starch, ethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, amino acid, albumin, water And physiological saline. If necessary, conventional additives such as stabilizers, lubricants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, binders and the like can be appropriately added. In the anti-osteoporosis agent of the present invention, the dose of the active ingredient is appropriately selected and determined according to the patient's age, weight, symptoms, disease level, administration schedule, formulation form, etc. The dose is about 1000 mg / kg body weight, and may be administered in several divided doses a day.
[0009]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples.
[0010]
Example 1
Twelve 3-week-old male Crj: CD (SD) rats were given free intake of the following special diet 1 for 7 days under the illumination of an ultraviolet cut lamp, and then free intake of special diet 2 for 12 days to establish an osteoporosis model. Produced. Thereafter, it was divided into two groups, and 6 rats in each group were allowed to freely ingest either fish scale powder mixed feed or whey calcium mixed feed as a test feed for 21 days. In any period, distilled water was freely taken as drinking water. Details of each feed are as follows.
[0011]
1) Special feed 1
Powdered feed prepared by removing vitamin D from basic feed (Ca: 0.02%, P: 0.5%, manufactured by Oriental Yeast Feed Industry Co., Ltd.) so that Ca is 0.5%.
2) Special feed 2
Powdered feed obtained by removing vitamin D from the basic feed.
3) Fish scale powder mixed feed 0.48% (total calcium content: 0.5%) powdered feed with fish scale powder as calcium content in the above basic feed.
4) Whey calcium mixed feed Powdered feed containing 0.48% (total calcium content: 0.5%) of whey calcium as the calcium content in the above basic feed.
[0012]
Meanwhile, body weight and feed intake were measured. In addition, after administration of the test feed for 21 days, the blood was killed by whole blood collection, and the left and right femurs and tibia were immediately removed, and blood biochemical tests (calcium (Ca) content, inorganic phosphorus (IP) content, alkaline phosphatase activity ( ALP)) and the weight and strength of the femur and tibia (bone strength tester, TK-252C, manufactured by Muromachi Kikai Co., Ltd.).
[0013]
The average intake of feed was 19.3 g in the fish scale powder mixed feed group and 18.3 g in the whey calcium mixed feed group, and the fish scale powder mixed feed group had better intake.
[0014]
In the fish scale powder mixed feed group, the average body weight was 225.5 g on the 10th day after administration of the test feed and 294.1 g on the 20th day, and in the whey calcium mixed feed group, 215.7 g on the 10th day after administration of the test feed. On the 20th day, it was 287.6 g.
[0015]
[Table 1]
[0016]
In both groups, all the values were markedly improved with respect to the Ca amount, IP amount, and ALP before administration of the test feed of the osteoporosis model. There was no significant difference between the two groups.
[0017]
[Table 2]
[0018]
In both the bone weight and the bone strength, the fish scale powder mixed feed group tended to be better than the whey calcium mixed feed group.
[0019]
In this way, the fish scale powder mixed feed group shows good osteoporosis improvement effect that is inferior to the whey calcium mixed feed group, which is good in food intake and superior in calcium absorption. It was.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
The anti- osteoporosis agent of the present invention has an effect of improving osteoporosis in terms of calcium level in the blood, inorganic phosphorus level, alkaline phosphatase activity, bone weight, bone strength and the like, and has few side effects such as decreased appetite. Have both.
