Abstract:
The present invention easily and efficiently provides a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ligand, and a composition for amelioration of insulin resistance or for prevention and/or amelioration of the insulin resistance syndrome containing the same, as an active ingredient. The present invention relates to a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ligand which comprises a prenylflavonoid, a chalcone derivative exclusive of prenylflavonoids, a flavonol derivative exclusive of prenylflavonoids, and a salt, a glycoside and/or an esterified substance thereof acceptable as a pharmaceutical preparation or a food or a beverage; a composition containing the above ligand; a plant-derived extract containing the above ligand; and a process for producing the above extract.

Abstract:
It is intended to conveniently and effectively provide peroxisome proliferat or activated ligands and compositions containing the same as the active ingredient for improving insulin resistance or preventing and/or relieving insulin resistance syndrome. Peroxisome proliferator activated ligands which comprise prenyl flavonoid, flavonol derivatives other than prenyl flavonoid, chalcone derivatives other than prenyl flavonoid, or salts, glycosides and/or esters thereof which are accepted as medicines, foods or drinks; composition s containing these ligands; extracts originating in plants containing these ligands; and a process for producing such extract.
