An agent of the present invention comprising poultry feet or a processed product thereof, preferably a hydrolysate of an extract of poultry feet, promotes hyaluronic acid production, thereby exhibiting excellent effects of preventing or treating a joint disorder, improving skin dryness, wrinkles or skin tension, moisturizing the skin, etc. The agent is thus useful as a medicament, a quasi-drug, a cosmetic product, a food product or an animal feed.

Hyaluronic acid production promoting agent

The present invention provides a novel peptide having bone formation-promoting effect and chondrocyte growth-promoting effect, in particular, a peptide having osteoblast growth-promoting activity, having 100 amino acid residues or less comprising an amino acid sequence selected from (a) Val-Asn-Pro-Glu-Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu-Asp-Glu-Ser-Ser-Pro-Tyr-Glu (SEQ ID NO: 1), (b) an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence (a) by conservative substitution or deletion of 1 to 3 amino acids, and (c) an amino acid sequence consisting of at least four contiguous amino acids of the amino acid sequence (a) or (b), or a derivative thereof or a salt thereof.

Peptides having osteoblast growth-promoting activity and use thereof

The present invention provides a hair regrowth promoter comprising an egg-yolk protein hydrolysate as an active ingredient. The egg-yolk protein hydrolysate is a safe ingredient produced from a natural source, and therefore can be widely used in daily consumable products, such as food and drink products, medicaments, animal feeds, and dietary supplements, or as a food additive, etc. The promoter etc. of the present invention can be orally administered and is thus very advantageous.

Hair regrowth and growth promoter and use thereof

The present invention provides A PPAR&#x3b3; activator comprising a butenolide compound represented by the formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein Rrepresents a hydrogen atom, a phosphate group, a fatty acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent or a sugar residue optionally having a substituent, and Rrepresents a phenyl group, a methylphenyl group, a dimethylphenyl group, an ethylphenyl group, a benzyl group, a methylbenzyl group, a dimethylbenzyl group, an ethylbenzyl group, a phenethyl group, a methylphenethyl group, a dimethylphenethyl group, or an ethylphenethyl group.
