HUMAN beta-DEFENSIN SECRETION PROMOTER

摘要

It is intended to provide a human beta-defensin secretion promoter which is usable in various forms such as external preparations, internal preparations and foods and can promote the secretion of human beta-defensin. An organic acid has an effect of promoting the secretion of human beta-defensin, in particular, human beta-defensin-2. Thus, the organic acid is used as the active ingredient of a human beta-defensin secretion promoter. By adding this human beta-defensin secretion promoter to external preparations, internal preparations or foods, an effect of promoting human beta-defensin secretion can be imparted to these products.
