Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions comprising synergic combinations of xyloglucans and plant or animal proteins, which are useful in the treatment of intestinal disorders.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a nutritional composition comprising a combination of non-digestible oligosaccharides and a product obtained by incubating an aqueous substrate by bifidobacteria and optionally a product obtained by incubating an aqueous substrate by S. thermophilus. Said combination synergistically improves the immune system by stimulating the Th1 response, and/or decreasing the Th2 response, improving the vaccination response, improving the resistance against infections and/or decreasing allergy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of nutrition and health, particular, the present invention relates to alpha-keto-isovalerate as a biomarker urine of the efficacy of prebiotics for the prevention of diet induced weight gain.
Abstract:
Preparations of glycan therapeutics, pharmaceutical compositions, dietary supplements and medical foods thereof are provided, and methods of using said gycan therapeutics, e.g. in cancer therapy.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to the use of a non-digestible oligosaccharide in the manufacture of a composition for providing nutrition to an infant suffering from an increased risk of food allergy, preferably whey protein allergy; and/or reducing the risk of occurrence of or preventing whey protein allergy in an infant suffering from an increased risk of food allergy, particularly whey protein allergy. The infant is preferably at increased risk of trichothecene mycotoxin exposure, for instance by eating a lot of cereals.
