Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods (with regard to animals and humans) for utilizing an extract and/or one or more natural spiro triterpenoids and derivatives thereof alone or as a supplement. Certain materials utilized are from the blazeispirol family, obtainable from Agaricus species. Treatments include the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of a disease, disorder or condition that responds to the modulation of Liver X receptor, as well as corresponding methods of treatment, the manufacture of a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulation for said treatment. The invention also relates to the use of the extract and compound(s) in the treatment or in the preparation of a medicament (e.g. a nutraceutical) for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatments, as well as their preparation. It also relates to pharmaceutical or nutraceutical formulations described herein which are useful in prophylactic and therapeutic treatments. They can also be used for non-therapeutic, e.g.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of certain stilbene derivatives for cosmetic and dermatological applications, in particular prevention and/or treatment of skin aging, as well as to cosmetic and dermatological compositions containing such stilbene derivatives.
