Abstract: A nutritional composition for improving the immunological function of a subject, including a lipid or fat; a protein source; about 5 to about 100 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and about 0.1 to about 1 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises at least 20% of an oligosaccharide which has a fermentation rate which is demonstrably slower than that of galacto-oligosaccharide.

Abstract: A nutritional composition having a lipid or fat; a protein source; a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and up to about 2.5% by weight of a source of supplemental calcium which, when dissociated, provides a cation having prebiotic functionality.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of a composition comprising docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or arachidonic acid (ARA) in human subjects that are on the typical ‘Western-type” high-fat high-sugar diet. It was found, in a humanized animal model, that said composition is capable of compensating for one or more of the adverse health effects of said diet. Particularly, an effect was found in body weight reduction, without a lowering of food intake. The composition can be administered as an oral (pharmaceutical) dosage unit, as a nutritional supplement, or as a component in a food or drink.

Abstract: A nutritional formula which includes a lipid or fat; a protein source; about 5 to about 100 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; about 0.1 to about 1 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises at least 20% of an oligosaccharide which comprises galacto-oligosaccharide; and about 0.015 to about 0.1 (pg/?g) ppm of TGF-?.

Abstract: A nutritional composition including a lipid or fat; a protein source; at least about 5 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and at least about 0.2 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises a plurality of oligosaccharides such that the overall fermentation rate profile of the prebiotic composition provides an increased population of beneficial bacteria in the human gut over an extended period of time.

Abstract: A nutritional composition for improving the immunological function of a subject, including a lipid or fat; a protein source; about 5 to about 100 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and about 0.1 to about 1 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises at least 20% of an oligosaccharide which has a fermentation rate which is demonstrably slower than that of galacto-oligosaccharide.

Abstract: The present invention is directed an improved nutritional composition, methods of improving digestion, and methods of enhancing the bioavailability of TGF-?.

Abstract: A nutritional formulation or supplement comprising a cow's milk peptide-containing hydrolysate and/or peptide-containing fraction of the hydrolysate and/or one or more peptides derived from a protein present in cow's milk for use in the induction of tolerance in a human subject, wherein said peptides contained in the hydrolysate or fraction of hydrolysate comprise T cell epitope-containing peptides or wherein said one or more peptides are T cell epitope-containing peptides, and wherein said T cell epitope-containing peptides are capable of driving the immune reaction upon intake of the nutritional formulation towards tolerance.
