Latest Patents
Jin-Boo Jeong holds two notable patents. The first patent is titled "Composition comprising low temperature water extract of hibiscus manihot for anti-obesity." This invention provides an anti-obesity composition that includes a low-temperature Geumhwagyu extract as an active ingredient. The extract is obtained by adding Geumhwagyu to low-temperature water at temperatures ranging from 4 to 50° C and extracting it for 1 to 20 hours. This extract increases energy consumption by enhancing the expression of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). It also promotes lipolysis by inhibiting the expression of perilipin-1 and enhances thermal generation through increased expression of uncoupling protein (UCP). Furthermore, the extract improves energy metabolism by increasing the expression of phospho-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibits lipid formation and accumulation in adipocytes, demonstrating its potential as a pharmaceutical composition and healthy functional food for obesity.
The second patent is titled "Anti-obesity composition including Geumhwagyu extract as active ingredient." This invention proposes the use of Geumhwagyu extract as an active ingredient that inhibits the differentiation of pre-adipocytes by inducing the degradation of CEBP-α. It also inhibits the expression of CEBP-α, PPARγ, Perilipin-1, Adiponectin, and FABP4, thereby suppressing lipid accumulation in adipocytes. This composition can be effectively used for preventing or managing obesity by lowering the content of triacylglycerol (TG) and exhibiting anti-obesity activity.
