Introduction of the discussion

In recent years, the term “metabolic syndrome” has rapidly spread to the general public.

Metabolic syndrome is based on obesity, especially excessive accumulation of visceral fat, that is, “visceral fat obesity”, and diseases such as borderline diabetes, abnormal lipid metabolism, hypertension, and fatty liver overlap. It is a disease that occurs and is known as a risk factor for myocardial infarction and stroke.

There are many people have diabetes, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure, one thing that should not be mistaken is that symptoms based on visceral fat obesity are called “metabolic syndrome”.

The Japanese people who were originally agricultural people lost their balance of energy metabolism due to westernization and over-nutrition of diets that consume a lot of animal protein and fat, causing obesity and visceral fat accumulation, such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, etc.

Finding the problem

Then, what is necessary to prevent and treat “metabolic syndrome”?

Argument

The first is to improve lifestyle habits such as eating habits and exercise.

If you become obese, you will always be encouraged to have a diet and moderate exercise so that you do not intake too much energy, but in everyday life, it is essential to cooperate with others, and there are time constraints such as work. Many people think that is difficult.

Some researchers are studying the development of new therapies by summarizing the pathogenesis caused by “metabolic syndrome” and treating it as an energy metabolic disease.

According to recent research, bile acids have been found to increase energy consumption, improve obesity and diabetes, and can be expected as drugs with few side effects.

Conclusion

Therefore, I would like to study new treatments for metabolic diseases such as “metabolic syndrome” such as dyslipidemia and osteoporosis.

Examining the conclusion

By studying with Professor Mitsuhiro Watanabe, who has conducting many studies from the viewpoint of metabolism for the health and longevity of people, I am sure that I could obtain various perspectives regarding my research and it would open up new horizons for me.

Therefore, I believe that Keio University’s Faculty of Environment and Information Studies is the most suitable place for pursuing my research and social contributions, and I am aspiring to enter your school and study in your laboratory.
