ENERGY METABOLIC ACTIVATING AGENT FOR MUSCLE CELLS

摘要

This invention provides a new energy-metabolic activating agent for muscle cells and provides compounds that are widely used in foods and drinks and in medicines and in quasi-drugs or the like. The technical features of this invention are as follows:;(1) A sugar transporter (GLUT4) gene-expression promoting agent, including at least one active substance selected from the following: 5-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone; techtochrysin; 3,7,4′-trimethylkaempferol; retusine; pentamethylquercetin; trimethylapigenin; tetramethylkaempferol; and 5,7-dimethoxyflavone,(2) A sugar transporter (GLUT4) gene-expression promoting agent, including at least one active substance selected from either techtochrysin or 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, and(3) A sugar transporter (GLUT4) gene-expression promoting agent within the muscle cells that includes any one of the chemical compounds shown in the following chemical formula 1. (Of such formula 1, R1 and R2, respectively, mean an alkyl group with hydrogen or with 1˜3-carbon.);
