Outline of Final Research Achievements

Physical symptoms associated with menopause may negatively affect women's quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy is the established method for treating menopausal symptoms, but there are many women seeking alternative therapy because they fear side effects, such as breast cancer. Thus, aroma massage using clary sage oil has been provided as one of the useful alternative therapies. The assumed active ingredients in the oil is sclareol.
We analyzed serum and liver samples following the topical application of sclareol to the dorsal skin of mice. Sclareol was not only detected by GC-MS in the serum samples (0.36±0.08 ppm) but also concentrated in the liver samples (1.69±0.32 ppm). Furthermore, as biologial effects of sclareol, we found (1) an action to moderate weight gain, and (2) a decreased serum total cholesterol. From gene expression analysis, promoting uptake of LDL cholesterol and enhanced lipolysis in the liver were suggested as mechanisms of lipid metabolism.
