摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a composition comprising palm fruit juice for use in a method of preventing and inhibiting vision loss due to angiogenesis related diseases. The composition of the present invention aids to decrease in CNV size using confocal microscopy, in addition to reduction in macrophage infiltration using immune staining; decrease in VEGF-A-induced angiogenesis using established cornea pocket assay, inhibition of IKB-D phosphorylation in laser treated choroidal tissues and reduction in macrophage recruitment to CNV lesions.

A nutritional fat or oil-based composition for increasing HDL cholesterol, decreasing LDL cholesterol and decreasing the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio in human plasma is described. The composition can advantageously include at least 1% by weight myristic acid esterified at the sn-2 position in triglyceride molecules, includes between 10% and 40% by weight linoleic acid, and further includes between 30% and 65% by weight oleic acid and between 15% and 40% by weight total saturated fatty acids. The ratio of sn-2 myristic acid to sn-2 palmitic acid is typically greater than 1:1 and the sum of weight percentages for saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids equals 100%. In desirable cases, the composition is substantially cholesterol-free.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method and composition for nutritionally improving glucose and insulin balance in an individual. The invention further provides a method for treating a comorbidity of diabetes. In one embodiment, the invention provides a nutritional formulation comprising: a protein source; a fat source; and a carbohydrate source, wherein the protein source, the fat source, and the carbohydrate source are in a ratio of about 1:1:1, each comprising about one third of the total calories of the composition.

摘要:
A milk product including a level of vitamin E per serving of said product which can conveniently provide at least 100 IU of vitamin E per day to an individual ingesting the product. The vitamin E is uniformly microdispersed throughout the product, and ingestion of at least 100 IU of vitamin E per day in the product is sufficient to cause the fasting plasma vitamin E/cholesterol ratio in human subjects to be elevated at least 50% above the basal fasting level of vitamin E measured in the same subjects consuming no vitamin E dietary supplements. A method for elevating the plasma vitamin E level at least 50% in human subjects is also described. The method includes ingesting a milk product as described.
摘要:
Blended cholesterol-reduced animal fat and vegetable oil which are combined in a proportion such that the weight ratio of linoleic acid (18:2) content divided by myristic acid (14:2) content is between 2 and 9 inclusive.In addition, cholesterol-reduced animal fat can be blended with cholesterol-reduced fish oil to stabilize the fish oil against air-oxidation at room temperature.

The invention relates to methods for treatment and prevention of a metabolic imbalance, including diabetes mellitus and other related diseases or disorders, using an extract from a fruit of genus Elaeis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to amphiphilic sterol- and fat-based particles, which can be dispersed in liquid foods and beverages such as milk. The compositions provided, when consumed, reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total plasma cholesterol (TC) levels.

摘要:
Nutritional fat or oil-based compositions for increasing HDL cholesterol, decreasing total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol and decreasing the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio in human plasma are described. The compositions can advantageously include at least 10% of myristic acid and/or lauric acid in which at least 3% of said fatty acid composition is myristic acid and at least 3% is lauric acid; in some cases at least 1% by weight myristic acid and/or lauric acid is esterified at the sn-2 position in triglyceride molecules. The compositions also include between 5% and 40% by weight linoleic acid, and typically further include at least 10% by weight monounsaturated fatty acids and between 15% and 55% by weight total saturated fatty acids. The sum of weight percentages for saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids equals 100%. In desirable cases, the composition is substantially cholesterol-free. Also described are fat compositions and diets which are adapted to limit increases in blood triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL, even in the presence of dietary cholesterol.
