| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, a function of the Xanthophyll protecting a bone and the tooth was elucidated. The result applied to the development of the functional food of the new concept. The common mechanism about osteoporosis and periodontal disease was elucidated, and it was revealed that Xanthophyll had a suppression effect for both inflammatory and metabolic bone resorption. As a result of enforcement of the appropriate food intake examination, the development base of the functional foods which were effective for "a bone and the dental health maintenance" that utilized bone protection of the Xanthophyll was established.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究課題の実施により、キサントフィルの骨保護作用を活用して、歯と骨の健康維持に有用な機能性食品の開発への基盤が構築された。適正摂取量検討の結果、将来のヒト介入試験を実施して機能性表示食品として開発する方針を確立した。キサントフィルを活用した機能性食品が開発されれば歯周病や骨粗鬆症の罹患より歯と骨の健康を守る、日々の習慣としての健康増進が期待できる。
