USE OF YAM GLYCOPROTEIN FOR IMPROVING ACTIVITY OF MITOCHONDRIAL OXIDATIVE METABOLIC ENZYME OF BRAIN CELL

摘要

The present invention discloses that Yam glycoprotein can improve the activity of the key enzyme of brain cell mitochondria for oxidative metabolism, i.e., pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and thus can be used for the preparation of drugs for treating diseases such as brain cell degeneration and injuries with reduced oxidative metabolism efficiency caused by the decrease of activity in these enzymes.
