摘要:
A composition for use as a medicament or nutritional product is described which comprises at least one lipid wherein the lipid provides greater tan 35% total energy of the composition. A prefered embodiment comprises a n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio of about 2/1 to 7/1. In addition, a method of preparing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional product; and a method of treatment or prevention of sepsis or inflammatory shock which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition are described.
摘要:
Nutritional compositions for maximizing muscle protein synthesis while minimizing the catabolism of muscle proteins and methods of using same are provided. In this manner, the nutritional compositions may provide for retention of lean body mass, which helps to avoid loss of independence and functionality, as well as to improve quality of life especially in the elderly at risk of sarcopenia and frailty. The nutritional compositions include α-hydroxyisocaproic acid and citrulline. The composition may include other functional ingredients such as, but not limited to whey protein including whey protein micelles, prebiotic fibers, α-keto-glutarate, eicosapentaenoic acid, L-carnitine, nucleotides, and amino acids. Methods of administering such nutritional products to individuals in need of same are also provided.
