摘要:
A composition comprising an oil selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils, animal oils, and krill oil in an amount sufficient to lower the peroxide index of the composition. The composition may preferably comprise a fish oil also having astaxanthin added thereto.
摘要:
A process for a cell culture wherein the cells are grown on a substrate, the improvement comprising the step of growing the cells on collagen substrate with the collagen having been extracted from an animal selected from the group consisting of a marine mamal and a bony fish. Preferred embodiments include those wherein the collage is either from salmon or a seal.
摘要:
A method of screening for a compound useful in the treatment of a disease or condition characterized by an immune cells disorder, wherein said cell expresses NTPDases, said method comprising the steps of contacting a candidate compound with ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase), wherein the candidate compound is selected if the activity of said NTPDase is reduced in the presence of the candidate compound as compared to that in the absence thereof. A method for inhibiting an immune cell activity in a mammal, comprising targeting immune cells with an effective amount of a NTPDase inhibitor. A method to prevent or reduce the risk of rejection of transplanted tissue or organ, comprising administering to said animal an effective amount of NTPDase inhibitor.
摘要:
A method to render endothelial cells capable of inhibiting platelet and leukocyte-mediated injury and inflammation is described, comprising genetically modifying the cells by inserting DNA encoding ecto-ATP diphosphohydrolase or an oxidation-resistant analog thereof, and expressing a protein having functional ecto-ATP diphosphohydrolase activity, such as the human CD39 protein, by said cells under cellular activating conditions. The method, which can be carried out in vivo, ex vivo or in vitro, has use in allogeneic or xenogeneic transplantation as well as to treat systemic or local inflammatory conditions characterized by platelet aggregation leading to thrombus formation.
摘要:
A composition comprising an oil selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils, animal oils, and krill oil in an amount sufficient to lower the peroxide index of the composition. The composition may preferably comprise a fish oil also having astaxanthin added thereto.
摘要:
Provided herein is a method for extracting lipid fractions from marine and aquatic animal material by acetone extraction. The resulting non-soluble and particulate fraction is preferably subjected to an additional solvent extraction with an alcohol, preferably ethanol, isopropanol or t-butanol or an ester of acetic acid, preferably ethyl acetate to achieve extraction of the remaining soluble lipid fraction from the marine and aquatic animal material. The remaining non-soluble particulate contents is also recovered since it is enriched in proteins and contains a useful amount of active enzymes. Also provided herein is a krill extract.
摘要:
A method for the extraction of lipids from lipid containing tissues of a member of the bird species such as the ratite, gallinaceous or anatidae wherein the lipid containing tissues are comminuted and the lipids extracted in a solvent, preferably acetone or ethyl acetate, to provide a liquid fraction and a solid fraction and subsequently removing the solvent from the liquid fraction to provide a lipid rich component.
摘要:
A composition comprising an oil selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils, animal oils, and krill oil in an amount sufficient to lower the peroxide index of the composition. The composition may preferably comprise a fish oil also having astaxanthin added thereto.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for purifying marine mammal oil enriched in omega 3 fatty acids and to compositions comprising such oils. The invention also relates to a method of preparing such oils from the seal and other marine mammals. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for the transformation of subcutaneous and muscular tissues from the seal and other marine mammals. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a process for obtaining lipid and protein extracts from the carcasses of seal and other marine mammals and to these extracts. In addition, the invention relates to fractions obtained by the methods of the present invention and to food supplements comprising same.
