Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-graying agent. The present invention provides a method for screening an anti-graying agent whereby a substance that accelerates expression of AFF-4 in cells is selected by applying a candidate substance to cells in vitro; and, an anti-graying agent containing at least one type of herbal extract selected from the group consisting of Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.)
