Cargo: Research says ostrich eggs can help prevent obesity

Often eat high-fat high fever food is not long fat, this may be the ultimate dream of cargo. Now the dream is likely to come true. Japanese researchers have recently extracted some magical antibodies from ostrich eggs that inhibit digestive enzymes. After taking them, even if you eat high-fat high fever food every day, it is difficult to be absorbed by the body.

The body fat will be digested by one of the digestive enzymes of the lipase decomposition, carbohydrates will be amylase and lactase decomposition, and then absorbed by the body, not to be decomposed ingredients will be expelled from the body. So if the digestive enzymes are suppressed, the body absorbs fat and carbohydrates.

A team led by Kyoto State University professor Totsuka Ben Kanghao has used influenza viruses and cedar pollen to stimulate female ostriches and to obtain antibodies against these antigens from the eggs they produce. This time, researchers have used similar methods to get antibodies that inhibit lipase and amylase.

The researchers found that if mice were fed only high-fat foods, the average weight of mice would increase from 50 grams to 57 grams after 6 days, but their weight would not change if the mice were to drink water with lipase-containing antibodies at the same time.

In addition, if the rats were fed only carbohydrates, the blood sugar level in the rat would be increased from the usual 110 mg per hundred ml to 140 mg in 30 minutes. But if you feed the carbohydrates immediately after feeding the amylase and lactase antibodies, the blood sugar value does not rise. More importantly, the antibodies are not harmful to the health of mice and rats.

The researchers also asked volunteers to eat foods containing a lot of fat and carbohydrates, and then let them have the yolk powder containing the antibodies, which was similar to the animal experiment.

Since these ostrich antibodies are more heat resistant, the yolk powder added to the antibody can be used for cooking. In addition to improving hyperlipidemia and preventing obesity, these antibodies are expected to allow diabetics to eat like healthy people without having to worry about blood sugar.

In the future, the research team is ready to work with companies to sell egg yolks and drinking water to add antibodies. "The hope is that ostrich eggs will help people over the age of 30 who have metabolic syndrome to stay healthy," said Professor Totsuka-Kanghao. ”
