Abstract: The invention concerns a paralytic shellfish poison for the treatment of itching in a human being or another mammal.

Abstract: The invention concerns a sodium channel blocker for the treatment of a reduction or loss of superficial sensitivity or sense of touch of a human being or another mammal

Abstract: The invention concerns a sodium channel blocker for the treatment of a reduction or loss of superficial sensitivity or sense of touch of a human being or another mammal.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mixture of enzymes from krill for use in the treatment of a soft tissue including epithelial tissue and mucosa on which soft tissue a biofilm has formed or is expected to form, which soft tissue is a soft tissue of a mammal and which treatment comprises the removal of the biofilm or preventing a formation of the biofilm.

Abstract: The invention relates to an enzyme-containing gel composition capable of controlling enzymatic release and increasing the enzymatic activity level. When the composition includes at least one enzyme derived from Antarctic krill, it is efficient in cleansing wounds and accelerating healing, achieved in significant part by a glycol and/or glycerol gel capable of sustaining enzymatic release and/or enzymatic activity. The krill enzyme-containing gel may also be used to correct skin disorders, sterilize instruments, and facilitate transplants and treating fungal infections, bacterial infections, parasitic infections, hemorrhoids, corneal scarring, dental plaque, acne, cystic fibrosis, blood clots, immune disorders, autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating, controlling and/or preventing diseases of the oral cavity, particularly diseases and disorders induced accumulation of plaque, by administering a chewing gum composition comprising at least one krill enzyme. Specifically, the invention is directed to a method for preventing, treating and controlling the development of gingivitis, gum disease and symptoms thereof using a composition having a krill enzyme concentration of about 0.005 U/g to about 0.05 U/g of the chewing gum composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for detoxifying shellfish contaminated with paralytic toxin. Actually no industrial method has been described that is 100% effective for detoxification of shellfish containing this type of toxins. Decontamination is achieved through a process involving the chemical treatment of shellfish. This chemical treatment consists of preincubating and then cooking the shellfish in an alkaline pH solution. This treatment can be combined with one or more other procedures for the reduction of the products' final toxicity, these other procedures including, for example, partial shellfish detoxification by depuration, removal of the most toxic parts, and commercial cooking/canning of the shellfish. The process reduces total toxicity levels in shellfish to values below 80 &mgr;g of eq. STX/100 g shellfish, independently of the toxin profile, or the initial toxicity present in the shellfish.
