Abstract: A dietary product for preventing cardiometabolic risk in humans, in particular for reducing visceral fat and deep subcutaneous fat, includes in particular a mixture of: a whey hydrolysate having a molecular weight of between 200 and 10,000 daltons, an isolate and/or concentrate of whey, and calcium caseinate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing, alleviating or treating a liver disease, comprising administering a composition comprising a Triticum aestivum Lamarck leaf extract or a fraction thereof to a subject in need thereof. Therefore, the method for preventing, alleviating or treating a liver disease of the present invention can improve the morphological change of liver tissue due to liver injury, inhibit apoptosis of hepatocytes, increase the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) which can reduce oxidative stress in liver tissue, and reduce the levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) which are known to change sensitively in liver diseases.

Abstract: Methods of producing a Hydrophilic Homeopathic Aqueous Substance Active (HASA)-gel matrix, include the steps of: (a) combining a homeopathic compound and an uninhibited aqueous composition to produce a HASA; (b) combining the HASA with at least one hydrophilic gelling agent; and (c) thereafter, forming the hydrophilic HASA-gel matrix by use of at least one of a thickening agent, a crosslinking agent, or a polymerization agent.

Abstract: A micronutrient dosage unit which comprises two or more micronutrients selected from vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B9, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron and chromium in one or more specified ratios.

Abstract: The invention concerns a blackberry leaf extract and its uses, in particular to slow down skin aging, to treat the oral and pharyngeal cavity, and there in particular to prevent and slow down periodontitis and the excessive degradation of the periodontal connective tissue as well as damage to the teeth caused by matrix metalloproteinases.

Abstract: A plant micropropagation apparatus and process is provided in which a support platform for vessels containing a liquid growth media are periodically pivoted which brings about an intermittent immersion of the plant tissue/growth substrate in the growth media. The motion of the support platform may optionally be used to engage a piston operated dispenser for supplying aseptic media to the sealed vessel. The intermittent immersion also provides for an improved method of separating viable embryos from culture materials using a separation matrix in conjunction with the intermittent wave motion of the plant media when suspended in a liquid culture.
