| Research Abstract |
Obesity is one of the reasons that cause the lifestyle disease which includes atherosclerosis. In obesity, adipocyte accumulates a large amount of oil in its cytoplasm. And the obesity is the exacerbation factor for atherosclerosis. Also, the migration of smooth muscle cells (SMC) into intima is involved in progression of atherosclerosis. A definite food ingredient such as cyanidine-3-glucoside (C3G) inhibited the accumulation of oil in adipocyte and suppressed the enlargement of adipocyte. Furthermore, the defined food ingredients inhibited the migration of SMC in the presence of adipocyte, suggesting that they might be inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis.
