Composition for regulating activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, comprising fermented papaya as an active ingredient

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an excellent peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating composition.SOLUTION: Intensive studies carried out by inventors on effectiveness of a papaya fermentation product shows that the papaya fermentation product has excellent peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating effect. The peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating composition including the papaya fermentation product as an active ingredient is provided. Since the composition includes the papaya fermentation product having the peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating effect, the composition exhibits the peripheral blood monocytic cell regulating effect. Food and drink, health food, or a feed additive (hereinafter referred to as food or the like) including the peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating composition containing the papaya fermentation product as an active ingredient are also provided. The food or the like, which contains the composition including the papaya fermentation product having the peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating effect, exhibits the peripheral blood monocytic cell activity regulating effect.
