PEPTIDE, COMPOSITION FOR SUPPRESSING OR RECOVERING ATROPHY OR FUNCTIONAL DECLINE OF SALIVARY GLANDS, AND COMPOSITION FOR SUPPRESSING OR RECOVERING LUNG ATROPHY OR FUNCTIONAL DECLINE

摘要

To provide novel peptides having a suppressive or recovering effect on atrophy or functional decline of organs such as salivary glands, to provide compositions for suppressing or recovering atrophy or functional decline of salivary glands, and to provide compositions for suppressing or recovering lung atrophy or functional decline.SOLUTION: Provided is a peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence of Leu-His-Lys or Leu-Leu-His-Lys or a salt thereof. Provided is a composition for suppressing or recovering atrophy or functional decline of salivary glands which contains a peptide containing a His-Lys amino acid sequence, or a salt thereof as an active ingredient.SELECTED DRAWING: None
