| Research Abstract |
In this study, we examined the beneficial function and the health effect of the functional food components or the so-called health foods in rats and mice. As a result, we could not observe the beneficial function in rats fed the excess amount of the so-called health food, although the excess intake did not influence any health effects such as growth and liver functions. On the other hand, the combinational intake of functional food components did not indicate the additive and/or synergetic effect or the cancel effect in rats and mice fed the experimental diets, although the individual component showed the certain beneficial function. In addition, we also did not observed any health effects in the appropriate use of the functional components. These results indicate that the combinational intake of the functional food components with similar health benefits does not show necessarily the better-than-expected performance. In addition, the functionality of the so-call health food is not clear even in the excess intake.
