REMEDIES FOR LIVER DISEASES, HYPERLIPEMIA AND DIABETES

摘要

Agents for treating and preventing hepatopathies, hyperlipemia and/or diabetes comprise a peptide composed of L-amino acids constituting natural proteins, having a L-glutamine content of 15-60 weight% and having an average molecular weight of 200-100000. ACTIVITY : Hepatotropic; Antilipemic; Antidiabetic; Antiinflammatory; Virucide. In a volunteer with fatty liver administration of a glutamine peptide (GP-1; average molecular weight = 7000; L-glutamine content is 32 weight%) at 9.9 g/day after 3 weeks gave glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase levels of 16 IU/l and glutamic pyruvic transaminase levels of 25 IU/l compared to 72 and 124 IU/l respectively at the beginning of the test. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Cholesterol-Antagonist.
