Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical or nutritional combination comprising beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) and methods comprising administering the combination to a subject. The methods of the invention relate to attenuating muscle protein degradation and/or preserving lean body mass in the subject.
Abstract:
A method of increasing or maintaining lean body mass in leucine conversion-compromised subjects and subjects undergoing treatment for diabetes is provided. The method includes administering an effective amount of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) to a subject with compromised leucine conversion efficiency or a subject undergoing treatment for insulin resistance associated with diabetes. Administration of HMB to a leucine conversion-compromised subject or a subject undergoing treatment for diabetes is effective to increase or maintain the human's lean body mass.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions, such as liquid and solid nutritional compositions, that contain beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid and optionally at least one protein, carbohydrate, fat, or a combination of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Also disclosed are methods of using the compositions for improving physical endurance, locomotion, mobility and cognition in an individual, including a pediatric individual.
Abstract:
The use beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid for improving glucose tolerance in a pediatric individual or in an adult individual is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid is administered via a nutritional composition.
