  • Methods of treating impaired glucose metabolism via administration of algal biomass
    Patent number: 9345730
    Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of using Chlorella protothecoides microalgal biomass in the treatment of individuals having impaired glucose metabolism. In some cases, the patient has impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, or diabetes. In some methods, algal biomass is used to reduce blood glucose and/or body fat in a subject, or to increase the relative abundance of beneficial gut microflora in a subject. In preferred embodiments, the biomass is derived from Chlorella protothecoides cultures grown heterotrophically in which the algal cells comprise at least 15% algal oil by dry weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2016
    Assignees: SOLAZYME, INC., UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
