Abstract: Disclosed are nutritional compositions including human milk oligosaccharides and nucleotides that can be administered to preterm infants, term infants, toddlers, and children for reducing inflammation and the incidence of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of enhancing cell-mediated immunity in an individual using nutritional compositions including human milk oligosaccharides. The human milk oligosaccharides are sialylated human milk oligosaccharides, fucosylated human milk oligosaccharides, or a combination of both. The human milk oligosaccharides may enhance T-cell mediated responses and T-cell regulatory responses.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating an individual having a condition characterized by an imbalance in type 1 and type 2 cytokine production, wherein the method comprises administering to the individual an amount of ?-hydroxy-?-methylbutyrate (HMB) effective to modulate or otherwise cause an increase in the ratio of type 1 to type 2 cytokines, including an increase in the ratio of type 1 to type 2 cytokines without a corresponding increase in type 2 cytokine levels. Also disclosed are methods of using HMB to treat asthma and allergies. The methods of the present invention are based upon the discovery that HMB modulates cytokine production, most typically by increasing type 1 cytokines without a corresponding increase in type 2 cytokines.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a synbiotic composition comprising the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 and a carbohydrate-based prebiotic such as fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, human milk oligosaccharides, or combinations thereof, and the use of the composition for the prevention and/or treatment of allergic disease. In one embodiment, the symbiotic composition comprising the probiotic and prebiotic may be included in a nutritional composition or infant formula.
