PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject new inhibiting agent useful in food and medicinal fields by incorporating a conjugated linolenic acid. SOLUTION: This breast cancer-inhibiting agent contains a conjugated linolenic acid (e.g. 9,11,13-octadecatrienic acid, 10,12,14octadecatrienic acid, their mixture, etc.). As the form of the conjugated linolenic acid, the fatty acid, a mono-, di- or triglyceride, a sodium salt, a potassium salt, a phospholipid, a lyzophospholipid and their mixture can be cited. The breast cancer-inhibiting agent can be used not only as a medicine but also as a breast cancer-inhibiting or preventing food (e.g. a conjugated linolenic acid-containing oil and fat product), and in both cases of usages, the conjugated linolenic acid to be ingested is generally 0.01-3%, preferably 0.05-1% of the weight of the food. |
