Composition for Improvement of Exercise Performance Using Novel Compound hexadecaphlorethol Isolated from Ishige okamurae

摘要

The present invention discloses a composition for improving exercise performance ability using hexadecaphlorethol (HdP), a novel compound isolated from Ishige okamurae, and a compound thereof. The novel compound, HdP, induces absorption of glucose, which is an energy source necessary for improving muscle contraction and motility, in an in vitro experiment using C2C12, which is a differentiated source cell. In addition, HdP increases the intracellular concentration of calcium ions necessary for improvement and has an activity of inducing glucose inflow into cells in animal experiments using zebrafish.
