Abstract
A method for increasing the expressions of CLOCK, ARNTL and/or PER2 genes is provided, wherein the method comprises administering to a subject in need an effective amount of Momordica charantia extract. The method is useful for treating or preventing diseases related to CLOCK, ARNTL and/or PER2 genes, or regulating physiological functions related to CLOCK, ARNTL and/or PER2 genes. The method is especially for adjusting the biological clock, improving sleep quality, and facilitating sleep.
Claims19
A method for increasing the expressions of CLOCK (circadian locomotor output cycles kaput) gene, ARNTL (aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator like) gene and/or PER2 (period circadian clock 2) gene in a subject in need, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a Momordica charantia extract.
A method for providing a Momordica charantia extract with enhanced effect on increasing the expressions of CLOCK gene, ARNTL gene, and/or PER2 gene, comprising subjecting Momordica charantia to a roasting treatment prior to extracting the Momordica charantia.
