Abstract: Pharmaceutical and dietary compositions, as well as to functional foodstuffs useful as coadjuvants for both treating and preventing aging processes and related conditions: atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, tumors, obesity and overweight, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, aging of the skin, alopecia, panniculopathia (cellulite), osteoporosis, cerebral aging (Alzheimer, Parkinson, senile dementia, etc.) and loss of memory, stress, depression, menopausal syndromes, benign prostate hypertrophy, etc.. Said compositions comprise: a) a lipidic mixture rich in polyunsaturated acids and vitamins, in combination with at least two components selected from; b) one or more terpenes selected from monoterpenes and/or sesquiterpenes; c) 1-piperoylpiperidine in the pure form and/or extracts or purified fractions enriched in black pepper containing it; d) one or more polycosanols and/or polycosanolic acids.

Abstract: Lipoprotein complexes comprising a lipase-inhibiting protein component, and/or amylase-inhibiting protein component and a phospholipid component, compositions containing said complexes in combination with a polysaccharide component, pharmaceutical formulations and foods containing said complexes or compositions, processes for the preparation of said complexes and compositions, which are capable of reducing the weight increase following hypercaloric diets and of exerting hypocholesterolemizing, hypotriglyceridemizing and antioxidizing activities.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical or dietetic composition for the prevention and treatment of vascular, arteriosclerotic and thrombotic pathologies, comprised of lecithin and oils having a high content of eicosapentaenoic (C 20:5, n-3) and/or docosahexaenoic (C 22:6, n-3) acids, and/or esters thereof.Said composition affords a considerable enhancement of vascular pathologies therapy by the use of natural ingredients commonly employed in human nourishment without any trouble.
