TH87491A - The use of sour milk in the manufacture of muscle pain and muscle pain drugs. - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (23/11/49) This invention presents the use of specific yogurt in the production of pharmaceuticals and functional foods for the relief and prevention of muscle pain, which can be used daily with high safety, particularly for delayed onset muscle pain. This relates to pharmaceuticals and functional foods that aid in the treatment of muscle pain. In this invention, yogurt and cells derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus helveticus are used as the main active ingredients, resulting in the expression of either an antioxidant enzyme, the expression of heat-shock protein, or the inhibition of neutrophil movement or tissue infiltration, at least one action.

Claims (6)

1. The use of yogurt obtained from fermentation with Lactobacillus helveticus in the production of medicines, including functional foods used to relieve and prevent muscle pain. 2. The use of yogurt obtained from the fermentation of Lactobacillus helveticus according to claim 1, which is Lactobacillus helveticus CM4 (a patented microorganism of the Integrated Industrial Technology Center: FERM BP-6060). 3. The use of fermented milk under claim 1, obtained from the fermentation of other lactic acid microorganisms and/or yeasts other than Lactobacillus helveticus. 4. The use of yogurt under claim 1, where the yogurt demonstrates the ability to induce the expression of antioxidant enzymes, or to induce the expression of heat-shock protein, or to inhibit the movement or tissue infiltration of neutrophils, in at least one action. 5. A muscle pain relief medication containing yogurt and cells derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus helveticus as the main active ingredients. 6. Functional food for relieving muscle pain containing yogurt and fermented cells; Lactobacillus helveticus is the main active ingredient.
