Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer, and involuntary weight loss.SOLUTION: Patients are enterally administered HMB alone or alternatively in combination with eicosapentaenoic (20:5 ω-3), FOS, carnitine and mixtures thereof. HMB may be added to food products comprising a source of amino-nitrogen enriched with large neutral amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, valine, tyrosine, threonine and phenylalanine and substantially lacking in free amino acids.
Abstract:
Disclosed are nutritional compositions including human milk oligosaccharides that can be administered to individuals including preterm infants, infants, toddlers, and children for improving gastrointestinal function and tolerance, as well as the growth of beneficial bacteria. Additional suitable methods of using the nutritional compositions including the human milk oligosaccharides are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method is provided for inhibiting the attachment of H. influenzae to human cells, such as pharyngeal cells, by contacting the bacilli with phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein that have at least 3 phosphate groups. A product containing phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein may be a liquid enteral nutritional product such as infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used for the prevention and treatment of otitis media in infants. The phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein may also be administered as a throat spray or used in nose drops or a spray.
Abstract:
Disclosed are nutritional products, and particularly, nutritional liquids, comprising beta-alanine. The nutritional products not only provide benefits for individuals concerned with muscle health and functionality, but can also be administered without the adverse side-effect of paresthesia caused by ingestion of beta-alanine.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer, and involuntary weight loss. In the practice of the present invention patients are enterally administered HMB alone or alternatively in combination with eicosapentaenoic (20:5 w-3), FOS, carnitine and mixtures thereof. HMB may be added to food products comprising a source of amino-nitrogen enriched with large neutral amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, valine, tyrosine, threonine and phenylalanine and subtantially lacking in free amino acids.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a use of a nutritional liquid comprising N-acetyl-L-glutamine or a nutritionally acceptable salt thereof selected from lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, quaternary ammonia cations and amine cations as the sole source of glutamine for manufacturing a medicament for use in providing glutamine supplementation for treating a critical illness or injury characterized by insufficient glutamine production to meet the body's needs.
Abstract:
La presente invención tiene relación con los procedimientos para la prevención y tratamiento de enfermedades inflamatorias crónicas, cáncer y pérdida involuntaria de peso. En la práctica de la presente invención, a los pacientes se les administra por vía enteral HMB sólo o alternativamente en combinación con eicosapentanóico (20:5 ?-3), FOS, carnitina y mezclas parecidas.En otra caracterización, la presente invención provee un procedimiento para el tratamiento del enflaquecimiento de un paciente asociado con una enfermedad. El procedimiento comprende la administración al paciente de la composición arriba descrita, que contiene HMB en cantidades suficientes para tratar el desgaste asociado con la enfermedad, en el cual, con la administración del compuesto al paciente se trata el desgaste asociado con la enfermedad. En otra caracterización, la presente invención provee un procedimiento para reducir la tasa de crecimiento del tumor en un paciente. El procedimiento consiste en la administración a un paciente el compuesto arriba descrito, que contiene HMB en cantidad suficiente para reducir la tasa de crecimiento del tumor, en el cual, luego de la administración la tasa de crecimiento del tumor es reducida.En otra caracterización, la presente invención provee un procedimiento para la prevención o tratamiento de la enfermedad en pacientes, reduciendo la regulación de la expresión y/o actividad de la proteína kinasa C, el factor nuclear kappa-B, enzimas que conjugan ubiquitina y componentes de proteasoma 26S. Estos procedimientos consisten en la administración a un paciente de HMB, sales, metabolitos o derivados parecidos. Todavía en otra caracterización, el HMB puede ser agregado a productos alimenticios que contienen una fuente de amino-nitrógeno enriquecida con grandes aminoácidos neutros como la leucina, isoleucina, valina, tirosina, treonina y fenilalanina y sustancialmente carente de aminoácidos libres.
