  • Patent number: 7344713
    Abstract: A method for the decrease of fat absorption in a mammal, wherein the animal is orally fed an antibody produced against lipase, an enzyme which is required for fat absorption.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2008
    Inventor: Julio L. Pimentel
  • Publication number: 20030231978
    Abstract: Composition and methods for improving air quality, disinfecting surfaces, and prevention of a respiratory infection. The method can decrease pathogen and/or parasitic concentrations in closed rooms and surfaces by the application of an antiseptic composition. The composition can be a pressurized or foaming solution containing a single terpene, a terpene mixture, and/or a liposome:terpene(s) combination with or without surfactant. The composition can be a true solution of an effective amount of an effective terpene and a carrier such as water. The composition can be a suspension or emulsion of terpene, surfactant, and carrier. Application can be, for example, by spraying a confined space with a solution of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20030228402
    Abstract: Composition and methods for preservation of food and/or prevention of gastrointestinal infection. A composition comprising a single terpene, a terpene mixture, or a liposome-terpene(s) composition is disclosed. The composition can be a true solution of an effective amount of an effective terpene and a carrier such as water. The composition can be a suspension or emulsion of terpene, surfactant, and carrier. The composition(s) of the invention can be applied directly to food or to articles or devices used in food handling. Application can be, for example, by spraying a solution of the present invention. A true solution of terpene and water can be formed by mixing terpene and water at a solution-forming shear rate in the absence of a surfactant.

  • Publication number: 20030157159
    Abstract: Prevention and treatment of digestive tract infections in humans and animals by orally administering a single terpene, a terpene mixture or a liposome-terpene(s) composition before or after the onset of a gastro-intestinal infection. Such infections may include traveler's diarrhea, ulcers, anthrax and other bacterial and parasitical infections.

  • Publication number: 20020004045
    Abstract: A method to decrease abdominal adipose and peripheral adipose depots in birds by in-ovo inoculation of avian antibodies against adipocyte or and specific adipocyte antigen determinants to 5-28 day-old embryos, or by orally feeding newborn mammals (within 24 hours of birth) with antibodies against adipocyte or and specific adipocyte antigen determinants.

  • Patent number: 5989584
    Abstract: A method of increasing food efficiency in both avians and mammals by using antibodies to gut peptides such as choleocystokinin to elicit a biological response which decreases gastrointestinal motility, reduces satiety or improves feed efficiency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 23, 1999
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Mark E. Cook, Cheryl C. Miller, Julio L. Pimentel
  • Patent number: 5827517
    Abstract: A method of increasing food efficiency in both avians and mammals by using antibodies to gut peptides such as choleocystokinin to elicit a biological response which decreases gastrointestinal motility, reduces satiety or improves feed efficiency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 27, 1998
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Mark E. Cook, Cheryl C. Miller, Julio L. Pimentel
  • Patent number: 5814316
    Abstract: The novel compound which is the reverse amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring peptide will elicit an immune response when introduced into an organism. Antibodies raised to this reverse compound act as antagonist to the naturally occurring peptide thereby mimicking the natural peptide's physiological effect on the organism's system. Precisely, antibodies specific to reverse choleocystokinin elicit the same response in avians and mammals as naturally occurring choleocystokinin, that being an increase in satiety and a decrease in food consumption.
