In addition to diabetes and hypertension, obesity-caused or -associated health problems include serious diseases such as coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. Obesity also imposes a substantial economic burden on society. The OECD has reported that approximately 8.4% of healthcare expenditures are spent on treating obesity-related diseases in 2 \/ 3 OECD countries. \u00b2\u207e<br \/>\n\u3000EPD possesses direct reprogramming technology to generate brown adipocytes from human skin cells. By using this technology, it is possible to create a simple and inexpensive human brown adipocytes model (ciBAs), so that various compounds are applied to ciBAs, and the activity (browning) of brown adipocytes is evaluated (screened) and there is a possibility to discover any candidate substances of ingredient for pharmaceuticals and food preventing and improving obesity and metabolic diseases.<br \/>\n\u3000This time, EPD has concluded a joint research agreement with C-HAS+ and has initiated to explore useful substances contained in natural products utilizing a drug discovery-oriented plant database and abundant natural product banks of C-HAS+.<\/p>\n<p>\u3010Reference\u3011<br \/>\n1) Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare The National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan, 2019<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mhlw.go.jp\/stf\/newpage_14156.html\">https:\/\/www.mhlw.go.jp\/stf\/newpage_14156.html<\/a><br \/>\n2) OECD Library The Heavy Burden of Obesity The Economics of Prevention <br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd-ilibrary.org\/social-issues-migration-health\/the-heavy-burden-of-obesity\/summary\/english_f563de08-en\">https:\/\/www.oecd-ilibrary.org\/social-issues-migration-health\/the-heavy-burden-of-obesity\/summary\/english_f563de08-en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u3010About EPD Co., Ltd.\u3011 <br \/>\n\u3000EPD Co., Ltd. was established by EPS Creative Health Technology Group Limited in 2021 to develop its own pipeline of drug discovery in the healthcare field.
