Publication number: 20060204549Abstract: The invention relates to a method of stimulating nutrient utilization, especially through improved gastric emptying, comprising oral administration of a nutritional composition. The invention is concerned with a method of improving nutrient utilization by a mammal comprising orally administering a lactoferrin-containing nutritional composition to the mammal in an amount effective to reduce the residence time of nutrients in the stomach of the mammal, said composition exhibiting a weight ratio of lactoferrin to ?-lactoglobulin that exceeds 1 to 15. The invention also relates to a pourable nutritional composition having a caloric content of at least 1.0 kcal/ml, a viscosity of 100 mPa.s or less at 21° C. and comprising: 50-79.6 wt. % water; at least 0.4 wt. % lactoferrin; 1-30 wt. % proteinaceous matter other than lactoferrin; 0.1-20 wt. % lipids; and 10-30 wt. % carbohydrates; wherein the combination of these components constitutes at least 80 wt.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2004Publication date: September 14, 2006Applicant: N.V.
