PURPOSE: To control the subcutaneous fat amount of subcutaneous tissue forming a muscle, by a method wherein a subcutaneous tissue activating device held to 0° or less is brought into contact with the surface of the skin of an animal for a predetermined time to cool the temp. of subcutaneous tissue to below bodily temp. and, subsequently, the subcutaneous tissue is returned to ambient temp. and this thermal stimulating operation is repeatedly continued to achieve the activation of blood circulation and the promotion of metabolism. n CONSTITUTION: For example, a subcutaneous tissue activating device having an area of 1m 2 is cooled to -20°C and folded double to cover the back of a cow to cool the same for 10min. By this method, the subcutaneous tissue of the back of the cow having bodily temp. of 38W40°C can be locally cooled to 15W20°C. When the subcutaneous tissue activating device is removed, the flow of blood to the subcutaneous tissue and the skin is suddenly enhanced. When the operation for locally cooling the body and returning the cooled part to ambient temp. is repeatedly continued, the cell of the subcutaneous tissue only at the local part is activated. That is, noradrenalin is released at the time of cooling and burnt to generate the accumulation action of at as an energy source for enhancing bodily temp. and shrunk capillary blood vessels are forcibly dilated to activate cells ready to transport blood rich in fat to the cooled subcutaneous tissue. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1989,JPO&Japio |
