  • NUTRITIONAL METHOD
    Publication number: 20110269678
    Abstract: A method of improving nutrition and/or treating low grade inflammation in an elderly human subject comprises administering to said subject a cysteine source so as to provide metabolically available cysteine in the diet of said subject in a proportion relative to all available amino acids which is greater that the proportion of cysteine relative to all amino acids which corresponds to the requirements of a healthy young human subject.

  • High lipid diet
    Patent number: 7691906
    Abstract: A composition for use as a medicament, functional food or nutritional product is described which comprises at least one lipid wherein the lipid provides greater than 35% total energy of the composition. A preferred embodiment comprises a n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio of about 2/1 to 7/1. In addition, a method of preparing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament, functional food or nutritional product; and a method of treatment or treatment or prevention of sepsis or inflammatory shock which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition are described.

  • Composition based on amino acids intended for the treatment of sepsis or of an attack bringing about an inflammatory reaction, in animals and man
    Patent number: 5863906
    Abstract: Compositions and methods intended to be administered enterally or parenterally for treating sepsis. The composition containing, in a biologically and nutritionally acceptable medium, at least free cysteine or cysteine in the form of a precursor, prodrug, protein or peptide hydrolysate, in a proportion of pharmacologically active cysteine greater than the proportion of cysteine present in a nutritional composition corresponding to the requirements of a healthy man, the proportion of cysteine being determined with respect to all the amino acids present in the composition.
