Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely decompose and decrease local body fat without exercises by burning FFA generated from local steatolysis by way of ultrasonic irradiation to mammal, and by making the FFA consumed in an electric muscle-stimulating device the main part of FFA of the local steatolysis. SOLUTION: The local body fat is decomposed by ultrasonic irradiation and the FFA generated locally is burnt and consumed by electric muscle stimulus. The effect improves by taking both calorigenic agents and calorigenic auxiliary agents.

2. Description of the Related Art The present inventors have disclosed PCT International Application Publication WO9.
On 9/39677, it was disclosed that fat is decomposed and free fatty acids are generated by irradiating ultrasonic waves of a specific frequency and intensity. This is because, in a subsequent follow-up test, the free fatty acids (FFA) in the blood are approximately doubled by irradiating the rats for about 10 minutes, and the ultrasonic irradiation stimulates the sympathetic nerve at the irradiated site, and the lipolytic hormone norepinephrine ( NE) was also confirmed to double. It is presumed that NE causes lipolysis of fat cells and releases FFA and glycerol into the blood.

It has been confirmed that the subcutaneous fat thickness at the irradiated part is reduced by about 12 to 18% in 10 days of ultrasonic irradiation as compared with the non-irradiated left thigh and abdominal left navel. This is about 60 hours after irradiation due to FFA combustion.

On the other hand, Siemens has disclosed an electric muscle stimulator, and has sold a stereo dilator SD-828 as a commercial product. This is intended to obtain the same effect as exercising the muscle by causing a current of about 15 kHz to flow from the electrode in contact with the body surface to the muscle, causing the muscle to contract by this stimulation, and repeating the same. Apply 20-50 mA for about 30-40 minutes. A rise in body surface temperature of about 4 ° C. and a continuation of about 1 hour have been observed.

[0005] Prolonged muscular exercise first consumes blood sugar from food intake and then begins to consume blood fatty acids by breaking down the fat from the energy storage source. This is thought to be because the request for blood energy source supply reaches the brain, a command to generate lipolytic hormone is issued from the hypothalamus, and fat is decomposed in fat cells to generate FFA. It is not clear whether this lipolysis occurs near the locality of muscle exercise or systemically.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Aspect 1: The ultrasonic irradiation device and the electric muscle stimulator are used in combination by means 1. First, FFA is generated in blood by ultrasonic irradiation. This already occurs with irradiation for about 10 minutes. Then, if an electric muscle stimulator is used in combination, the generated FFA is simultaneously consumed with the existing carbohydrate. Therefore, the application of the electric muscle stimulator can be performed for a long time, and it is not necessary to first wait for the lipolysis after consumption of the ingested carbohydrate, and the fat can be reduced in a short time.

Embodiment 2: As shown in the means 2, ultrasonic waves and electrical stimulation may be applied simultaneously. Consumption of fed carbohydrate and generation of FFA occur simultaneously, but it is sufficient that the presence of FFA and the consumption of FFA by electric muscle stimulation simultaneously exist. In each case, the state lasts for a considerable time, so that the mutual time lag is relaxed. In other words, it is only necessary that the other valid periods overlap with the respective valid periods, so that the valid periods may be set before and after each other.

Embodiment 3: The ultrasonic irradiator and the electric muscle stimulator may be separate from each other, or each applicator may be the same as shown in Means 3. In this case, handling is convenient. In order to irradiate the mammal's abdomen and the like as widely as possible, a wide applicator in which a plurality of unit transducers such as piezoelectric ceramics are arranged is desirable. This applicator can be provided with an appropriate number of electrostimulation electrodes.

Combined use of a thermogenic aid such as carnitine to carry in enhances the effect. It is absorbed after an appropriate period of time after taking and its effect appears. Means 1 may be implemented while this effect is sustained.
