Outline Activities
Most of my research focuses on the role of cGMP in the beneficial effects of phytochemicals.
Our group also identified several molecules including Tollip and demonstrated that those signaling pathway-induced by cGMP play crucial role in the resilience of the human body.

Research Interests
  • My research focuses on the role of cGMP in the physiological effects of phytochemicals.
    Our group previously identified several molecules including Tollip and demonstrated that those signaling pathways-induced by cGMP play crucial role in the resilience of the human body. To understand the physiological role of the cGMP in the beneficial effect of several compounds including phytochemicals, we use several disease mouse models including orthotopic tumor implantation model (Osteosarcoma, MPM, Pancreatic cancer, Lung cancer, breast cancer, etc) and other disease models (Obesity, SLE, IBD, ARDS, IgAN, NASH, PAH, Parkinson’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis). Based on our findings, our recent clinical study found that GT-gH (our proposed polyphenols combination based by cGMP induction) suppressed weight gain and BMI increase in human subjects (UMIN000040109 Placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind). My goal is to establish the novel strategy to prevent and treat the difficult diseases.
