LIPID METABOLISM AND/OR SUGAR METABOLISM IMPROVER CONTAINING LACTIC ACID BACTERIUM OR TREATMENT PRODUCT THEREOF

摘要

This invention provides the use of a microorganism capable of improving bothlipidmetabolism and sugar metabolism. Specifically, the invention relates to: alipid metabolismand/or sugar metabolism improver comprising, as an active ingredient, abacterial cellselected from bacteria belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and the genusBifidobacterium, atreated product of the bacterial cell, or a mixture thereof, having dual-agonistic activities toperoxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR).alpha. and peroxisomeproliferator activatedreceptor (PPAR).gamma.; to a food or a beverage comprising the improver; andto a pharmaceuticalcomposition comprising the improver.
