Abstract
A diet or a substance providing production of breast milk having an immunoregulatory action is screened for by identifying a diet or a substance that increases or decreases amount of mRNA present in milk of a mammal using correlation of mRNA profile in the milk and a diet ingested by the mammal or a substance contained in the diet as an index.
Claims27
A method for screening for a diet or a substance providing production of breast milk having an immunoregulatory action, which comprises identifying a diet or a substance that increases or decreases an amount of mRNA present in milk of a mammal by correlating a mRNA profile in the milk and an index selected from the group consisting of a diet ingested by the mammal and a substance contained in the diet.
A method for producing a composition for oral ingestion having an immunostimulating action, comprising the step of adding a mRNA of which an amount of the mRNA in milk of a rat increases when a Bifidobacterium is orally administered to the rat to a base for a composition for oral ingestion.
A method for producing a composition for oral ingestion having an immunosuppressive action, comprising the step of adding a mRNA of which an amount of the mRNA in milk of a rat decreases when a Bifidobacterium is orally administered to the rat to a base for a composition for oral ingestion.
