LIVER FAT ACCUMULATION INHIBITORY COMPOSITION, FOOD ADDITIVE FOR LIVER FAT ACCUMULATION INHIBITION, AND METHOD OF INHIBITING LIVER FAT ACCUMULATION

摘要

A method of inhibiting liver fat accumulation which comprises administering a conjugated linoleic acid homolog to a mammal or making the mammal ingest it; and a liver fat accumulation inhibitory composition characterized by containing an effective amount of a conjugated linoleic acid homolog together with a support for medicinal preparations or foods. The administration or ingestion of CAL inhibits the total lipid content and the triglyceride content in the liver from increasing, and hence can effectively prevent diseases attributable to fatty liver, such as chronic hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis.
