Abstract:
Methods and nutritional compositions are disclosed for attenuating muscle protein degradation, preserving lean body mass, or both in a subject in need thereof. Generally, the nutritional composition includes a source of fat, a source of protein, a source of carbohydrate, a source of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid, at least one monounsaturated fatty acid, at least one vitamin, and at least one mineral. The nutritional composition also generally has from 10 grams to 25 grams of protein and from 240 kcal to 500 kcal per serving.
Abstract:
Methods for enhancing motor function, enhancing functional status, and mitigating muscle weakness in a subject are provided. The methods utilize the combination of administering to the subject a nutritional composition comprising at least one source of protein and applying a vibrational stimulus to the subject.
Abstract:
Methods of increasing microvascular blood flow in the muscle of a human subject comprise orally administering about 100 to about 800 mg cocoa flavanols per day in a nutritional composition comprising at least one source of protein, to a subject in need of increased microvascular blood flow in the muscle.
Abstract:
Disclosed are nutritional compositions, and methods of using and making the nutritional compositions, that include calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and protein. The calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate is in sequestered or ion-exchanged form to reduce the interaction of the calcium with the protein in the nutritional composition and improve the overall stability of the nutritional composition.
Abstract:
A method of promoting healthy catch-up growth in a moderately malnourished individual is provided. The method includes administering to the moderately malnourished individual a nutritional composition that contains a carbohydrate blend, wherein the carbohydrate blend comprises a source of at least one carbohydrate that provides rapidly available glucose, a source of at least one carbohydrate that provides slowly available glucose, and a source of at least one non-digestible carbohydrate or resistant starch.
Abstract:
Disclosed are nutritional compositions, and methods of using and making the nutritional compositions, that include calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and protein. The calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate is in sequestered or ion-exchanged form to reduce the interaction of the calcium with the protein in the nutritional composition and improve the overall stability of the nutritional composition.
Abstract:
This invention relates to compositions and methods for nutritional management of hepatic (liver) failure. In particular the invention is directed to a nutritionally complete formulation suitable for use as a supplement or total enteral feeding. The composition is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of hepatic patients in need of nutritional support. The composition comprises an organoleptically acceptable protein system designed to meet the altered metabolic needs of patients suffering from hepatic failure. The invention also relates to administering a nutritional composition comprising effective amounts of the branched-chain amino acids, valine, leucine, isoleucine, or mixtures thereof, and with or without a reduced amount of tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan.
