摘要:
Nutritional or therapeutic compositions are provided for increasing ketone body levels in the blood of mammals by providing a source of ketone bodies in the form of linear or cyclic oligomers and/or derivatives of 3-hydroxyacids. The 3-hydroxyacid can be in the form of a linear oligomer of 3-hydroxyacids other than linear homo-oligomers of 3-hydroxybutyric acid if administered in combination with acetoacetate, cyclic oligomers of 3-hydroxyacids, esters of the linear or cyclic oligomers, esters of 3-hydroxyacids other than 3-hydroxybutyric acid, and combinations thereof. An oligomer generally refers to a polymer of three or more hydroxyacids. Preferred 3-hydroxyacids include 3-hydroxybutyrate, 3-hydroxyvalerate, 3-hydroxyhexanoate, and 3-hydroxyheptanoate. Oligomers of odd-carbon number 3-hydroxyacids such as 3-hydroxyvalerate have advantages since they have a higher energy content than oligomers of 3-hydroxyacids having an even-number of carbons. The cyclic oligomers have advantageous properties since they result in a sustained, and/or controlled, ketone blood level over a period of hours. The compositions can be administered orally, for example, as a nutritional or dietary supplement, or intravenously. Increasing blood ketone levels is useful for seizure control, metabolic disease control, reduction of protein catabolism, appetite suppression, parenteral nutrition, increasing cardiac efficiency, treatment of diabetes and insulin resistant states, and treatment of effects of neurodegenerative disorders and epilepsy.

Lightly cross-linked polymer, of which at least about 60 % by weight of the polymer, has been prepared by suspension or emulsion polymerizing at least about 50 % by weight of a carboxyl-containing monoethylenically unsaturated monomer acrylic acid with from about 0.1 % to about 5 % by weight of a non-polyalkenyl polyether difunctional cross-linking agent having a dry particle size of not more than about 30 νm in equivalent spherical diameter, are formulated with water and at least one ophthalmic demulcent, or at least one ophthalmic demulcent and at least one ophthalmic vasoconstrictor, into aqueous suspensions in which the amount of polymer ranges from about 0.1 % to about 6.5 % by weight.
摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft physiologisch verträgliche und physiologisch abbaubarer Kohlenhydratrezeptorblocker auf Polymerbasis mit einem HLB*-Wert von 10 bis 20 enthaltend: Kohlenhydratanteil - bifunktionellen Spacer - hydrophiles, biodegradables Polymer - Wirkungsverstärker, wobei der aus 1 bis 20 natürlich vorkommenden gleichen oder verschiedenen Monosaccharidbausteinen bestehende Kohlenhydratanteil via ein oder mehrere bifunktionelle Spacer, der ein natürliches oder synthetisches Molekül ist, an ein hydrophiles, biodegradabeles Polymer gekoppelt ist, wobei das Polymer seinerseits Träger ein oder mehrerer Spacer ist und das hydrophile, biodegradable Polymer außerdem mit dem Wirkungsverstärker verbunden ist, welcher ein Vernetzer, ein oder mehrere Gruppen mit hydrophoben, hydrophilen oder ionischen Eigenschaften oder ein Löslichkeitsverbesserer ist, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung sowie seine in vivo Verwendung für die Blockierung kohlenhydraterkennender Rezeptoren. Der Kohlenhydratrezeptorblocker ruft in vivo weder in seiner Gesamtheit noch in Form von Abbauprodukten Unverträglichkeitsreaktion hervor.
