Abstract: A novel omega-3 fatty acid/lipid based nutraceutical composition and a method of optimizing said omega-3 fatty acid/lipid based nutraceutical composition. The nutraceutical composition and method is based on the insight that different forms of high omega-3 fatty acid lipids (e.g. triglyceride form, ethyl ester form, free fatty acid form, phospholipid form) have different molecular modes and levels of action. Specifically the phospholipid form is likely more effective at promoting membrane fluidity and permeability, while the free fatty acid form is likely more effective at regulating cell receptors, such as the PPARa receptors, that are responsible for various metabolic effects including lipid metabolism. The desirability of producing omega-3 compositions that may act synergistically and thus more robustly to improve health and to some extent mimic markers of life extension such as shown by caloric restriction, along with specific optimization methods, markers, and compositions are taught.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a combination treatment for: individuals who meet the definition of food addiction; individuals who are overweight or obese (e.g., a BMI?25); individuals who have a binge eating disorder; or individuals who engage in a binge eating behavior.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating and/or preventing allergic diseases or conditions by inhibiting one or more components of the steroidogenic pathway.
Abstract: A method and composition are provided for coating a component to achieve colon-targeted delivery. A component is coated with a fructose-based non-digestible carbohydrate such as a inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide or neosugar. The coated component is orally administered to a monogastric animal. The non-digestible coating causes the composition to pass through the stomach and small intestine without being degraded, and delivers the component to the colon where the coating is digested by microbial fermentation and the component is released.
Abstract: Compounds are described herein useful for treating diseases and conditions by modulation of one or more alpha adrenergic receptor. The compounds can include a naphthalene, a quinoline, a benzimidazole or an isoquinoline as a core structure. Methods of making, using and formulating these compounds are described.
