  • Methods for reducing atherosclerotic plaques
    Patent number: 6555579
    Abstract: A method for reducing atherosclerotic plaques includes administering an effective amount of at least one fatty acid composition to an animal, said fatty acid composition having a carbon chain of at least 16 carbons in length, and wherein at least one pair of double bonds are in a conjugated position. Such a method and article of manufactures facilitating these methods may be useful for reducing atherosclerotic plaques in humans.
    Type: Grant

  • Novel derivatives of ursodeoxycholic acid
    Patent number: 4440688
    Abstract: Novel compounds which are 7-acylderivatives of ursodeoxycholic acid are described of formula ##STR1## in which R-CO is the residue from a linear, saturated or unsaturated, carboxylic acid of 2-18 carbon atoms or the residue from a cycloalkanecarboxylic acid of 3-7 carbon atoms in the cycloalkane ring. The novel compounds are useful in the therapy of biliary calculosis, biliary diskinesia and hypertriglyceridemia.

  • Derivatives of chenodeoxycholic acid
    Patent number: 4439366
    Abstract: Novel compounds are described, which are 7-acyl-chenodeoxycholic acid of formula (I) ##STR1## in which R-CO is the residue from a linear, saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acid of 3-18 carbon atoms or the residue from a cycloalkanecarboxylic acid of 3-7 carbon atoms in the cycloalkane ring. The compounds are prepared by selective hydrolysis of the 3,7-diacyl derivatives of chenodeoxycholic acid. The compounds are valuable against biliary calculosis, diskinesia and hypertriglyceridemia.
    Type: Grant

  • Bread containing alfalfa
    Patent number: 4028469
    Abstract: A bread containing substantial quantities of alfalfa provides a convenient, palatable form of introducing significant quantities of alfalfa into the human diet. The bread, which preferably contains honey, retains bread-like texture, taste and odor despite the presence of substantial quantities of alfalfa. Alfalfa, a nonnutritive fiber, functions as a hypocholesteremic agent.
