Abstract:
A method of treating a neurological disorder comprises administering to a person affected from such a disorder a microbial oil comprising DHA, a microbial oil comprising ARA or a combination of DHA and ARA oils in an amount sufficient to elevate the levels of circulating DHA and/or ARA in the person's blood to at least normal levels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to thermally, stable oil-in-water emulsions comprising an oil comprising a polyunsaturated fatty acid, water, an emulsifier, and a water-soluble stabilizer, and processes for preparing the thermally stable oil-in-water emulsions. The thermally stable oil-in-water emulsions remain flowable at a temperature of -40 °C, and are free from a variation in particle size after 9 months in storage at a temperature of -40 °C to -15°C.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for improving fetal and child health and development through nutritional supplementation with, for example, sialic acid. Sialic acid can be provided to a female before, during and/or after pregnancy to improve the health and development of a fetus and/or child. The sialic acid can be in a variety of forms in the supplements.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of recombinant DNA technology for the production of chondroitin, including the production of chondroitin sulfate via a combination of recombinant bacterial fermentation and post-fermentation sulfation.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to methods and compositions for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and methods of enhancing liver health and/or liver function, in a subject in need thereof, the methods comprising administering to the subject about 200 mg to about 12 g of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) substantially free of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and an effective amount of N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to isolated microorganisms as well as strains and mutants thereof, biomasses, microbial oils, compositions, and cultures; methods of producing the microbial oils, biomasses, and mutants; and methods of using the isolated microorganisms, biomasses, and microbial oils.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to recombinant microalgal cells and their use production of heterologous hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) polypeptides, as well compositions and uses thereof.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods of synthesizing omega-3 and omega-6 very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC- PUFAs, C28-C42:4,5 and 6), analogs and derivatives thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing these isolated VLC-PUFA compounds and therapeutic uses therefor.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to isolated thraustochytrid microorganisms as well as strains and mutants thereof. The invention is further directed to biomasses, microbial oils, compositions, cultures, methods of producing microbial oils, and methods of using the isolated thraustochytrids, biomasses, and microbial oils.
Abstract:
Coated food products fortified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid, including sweetened food products, and methods for their preparation are provided.
