Outline of Final Research Achievements

A purpose of this study is to contribute to condition of a patient elucidation of dry eye syndrome caused by aging and a lifestyle-related disease. By using life style-related disease developing mice, we examined the elucidation of age related molecules and effect of the functional foods factor which had the antioxidant action in the lacrimal glands. As a result, aging-related molecules significantly showed a low value in a lifestyle-related disease developing mice. In addition, it became clear that increase in tear secretion volume and secretion-related molecules by giving a functional foods factor. We demonstrated that the aging and dry eye syndrome are a close relationship to a lifestyle-related disease. Our findings should be crucial in condition of a patient elucidation and therapeutic treatment of dry eye syndrome.
