Kori-tofu protects the muscles of elderly people and astronauts!
2nd Feb 2024
A research paper that is the result of a joint research between
Asahimatsu Foods Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Osaka city and Iida city,
CEO: Hirotaka Kinoshita) and the Department of Nutritional
Physiology, Institute of Medical Nutrition, Tokushima University
(Professor Takeshi Nikawa) "Inhibitory Effect of Kori‐tofu Protein on
Denervation‐Induced Atrogene Expression in Mouse Skeletal Muscle"
has been accepted by "Biological Sciences in Space" and is scheduled
for publication.
This study shows that Kori‐tofu protein may help maintain muscle.
Muscle mass rapidly decreases due to factors such as space activities
and being bedridden (disuse muscle atrophy). Muscle atrophy causes
frailty. Professor Nikawa's group has reported that soy protein has a
special effect on preventing disuse muscle atrophy. This study
revealed that the protein in Kori‐tofu can be expected to have the
same effect as soy protein, indicating that Kori‐tofu may be a food
that helps prevent frailty. In the future, we will further advance our
research and develop products that can suggest more effective
intake, eating, and menu options.
