Abstract: The present application relates to compositions for treatment of eye disorders, particularly for treatment of dry eye disease (DED) and meibomianitis, wherein the composition comprises very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Further, the invention provides a method for treatment of DED and meibomianitis of a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from natural oils. The compositions for use are suitable for oral and local applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treatment and alleviation of diseases. Particularly, the invention provides compositions comprising very long chain fatty acids for use in treatment, such as of subjects having a deficient or abnormal level of VLCFAs present in specific tissue which play a role in the disease. Particularly, the invention provides methods and compositions for treatment of subjects having a reduced ability for endogenic synthesis of fatty acids.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions comprising fatty acid mixtures comprising very long chain unsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acids of the fatty acid mixture are isolated from natural oils. Particularly, the fatty acid mixtures comprise an enriched amount of both very long chain monounsaturated fatty acids (VLCMUFAs) and very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs). In one embodiment of the invention, the amount of cholesterol in the fatty acid mixture is minimised and a method for production is provided.

Abstract: A method of producing a composition comprising a high concentration of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) from natural oils such as fish oil, squid oil, algal oil and krill oil. In addition, a composition comprising a high concentration of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids isolated from such natural sources; as well as to a process for isolating separate fractions of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids having identical chain lengths but different degrees of unsaturation from such highly concentrated compositions is disclosed.
