PROPHYLACTIC OR AMELIORATING AGENT FOR IMMUNOLOGICAL DYSFUNCTION, PROPHYLACTIC OR AMELIORATING AGENT FOR MICROBISM, TUMOR IMMUNOLOGICAL ENHANCER AND PROPHYLACTIC OR AMELIORATING AGENT FOR IN VIVO VARIOUS DYSFUNTIONS AND FUNCTIONAL FOOD COMPRISING amp;alpha;-1,6-BONDED CHAIN GLUCOSE OLIGOMER AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an agent, etc., and a functional food for the activation of an immunological mechanism with a daily widely used α-1,6-bonded chain glucose oligomer such as isomaltose, isomaltotriose or isomaltotetraose and carrying out prophylaxis or amelioration of immunological dysfunctions.;SOLUTION: The prophylactic or ameliorating agent for the immunological dysfunctions, prophylactic or ameliorating agent for microbism, tumor immunological enhancer and prophyactic and ameliorating agent for in vivo various dysfunctions comprise each the α-1,6-bonded chain glucose oligomer as an active ingredient. The α-1,6-bonded chain glucose oligomer may be an isomaltooligosaccharide obtained by making a glucide enzyme act on starch. The glucide enzyme may be composed of α-amylase, β-amylase and α- glucosyltransferase. Furthermore, the functional food contains the α-1,6-bonded chain glucose oligomer or the isomaltooligosaccharide.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
