[Problem] To provide a composition for preventing and/or ameliorating cancer-related irreversible metabolism disorders. [Solution] The present inventors have made intensive studies. As a result, it is found that a composition comprising, as essential components, a whey protein hydrolysate, lecithin and an oil or fat containing oleic acid both of which have a lipid metabolism improving activity and palatinose which has an insulin saving effect has an effect of preventing and/or ameliorating cancer-related irreversible metabolism disorders. This finding leads to the accomplishment of the present invention. Specifically, in an in vivo test using a model transplanted with tumor cells, it is found that this composition has an effect of preventing and/or ameliorating the decrease in muscle mass and the like, which are symptoms of cancer-related irreversible metabolism disorders, without inhibiting the activities of an anti-cancer agent. |
