Abstract: Alpha-glycerophosphocholine can replace and/or displace caffeine wherever caffeine is used for its physiological benefits in dietary supplements, in beverages, including energy drinks and shots, and in foods and medical foods.

Abstract: A pressurized gas storage system includes an outer shell having an inner and outer surface. The inner surface defines an inner volume for holding a pressurized gas. A first electrically conductive layer is attached to the outer shell. An inner liner is disposed over the inner surface. A second electrically conductive layer is attached to the inner liner. A capacitance meter measures the capacitance between the first and second electrically conductive layers wherein a change in capacitance indicates buckling in the storage system.

Abstract: A method and system for using an existing open-environment hydrogen sensor for detecting hydrogen leaking from an atmospheric reference port of a pressure regulator. The atmospheric reference port extension tube of one or more pressure regulators in a hydrogen storage system is routed past a hydrogen sensor which is already used to monitor air around the hydrogen storage system for the presence of hydrogen. In this configuration, the open-environment hydrogen sensor can quickly and reliably detect hydrogen gas flowing from the atmospheric reference port of one of the pressure regulators in the event a pressure regulator develops an internal leak.

Abstract: Phosphatidic acid, lyso-phosphatidic acid, and/or phospholipase D can be administered to exercising mammals to increase muscle mass and strength. These actives can be administered orally to aging, bedridden or cachectic patients, as well as resistance training individuals, to improve nitrogen balance. The oral administration of phosphatidic acid as well as other actives described herein was found to increase muscle hypertrophy, strength, and lean body mass, and to decrease body fat in subjects, for example, when combined with resistance training.

Abstract: Phosphatidic acid is administered orally to increase muscle mass and strength in exercising mammals. Phosphatidic acid is administered orally to aging, bedridden or cachectic patients to improve nitrogen balance. The preferred form of phosphatidic acid for administration is phosphatidic acid-enriched lecithin. Creatine is co-administered orally to increase the muscle-building and strength effect. Other suggested additives include nutritional and herbal supplements, micronutrients and hormones.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of phosphatidylserine (PS), lyso-phosphatidylserine or/and a physiologically acceptable salt thereof for the treatment of the attention deficit syndrome (ADHS) in small daily doses over a longer time period and in larger daily doses over a short period as well as in combination with suitable additives selected from the group comprising antioxidants, essential fatty acids, mineral substances, amino acids, mood-lifters or/and phospholipids. In this connection it is preferred to carry out the administration to probands aged 2 to 20 years preferably 3 to 10 years whereby the phosphatidylserine as well as the additives are used in solid and also in liquid formulations. Due to its positive properties phosphatidyl-serine is in particular suitable as a therapeutic agent or food supplement in connection with ADHS. The good tolerance of phosphatidylserine even in high doses and over a longer supplementation period and the excellent compliance should also be stressed.

Abstract: Methods using phosphatidylserine, lysophosphatidylserine, and/or salts thereof to increase testosterone levels in subjects in need thereof are disclosed herein.
