Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of treating hypertension and reducing serum lipase activity by dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acid. The method comprises administering a safe and effective amount of conjugated linoleic acid to a human. The conjugated linoleic acid may be provided in the form of a free fatty acid or chemical derivatives thereof in a pill, or as a component of a prepared food product.
Abstract:
The invention describes methods and agents for improving cosmetic appearance, for promoting, improving or restoring health of cells and tissues, preferably skin, and more preferably, for restoring aged or damaged skin to a healthy appearance. This invention relates to the use of cells and cellular extracts in rejuvenation and healing technologies thereby improving healing and regeneration of all bodily tissues and organs. The present invention relates to compositions and methods of managing, preventing, and treating scars. The invention also relates to prevention of deterioration, damage and malfunction of cells and tissues, and to promote, improve or exceed cellular function in order to promote, improve and exceed appearance, vitality and health. In some embodiments, the invention relates to compositions of cells, eggs, cell extracts, egg extracts, and extract components such as purified nucleic acids, polypeptides, lipids, carbohydrates or other natural products.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of degradation with hyperthermophilic organisms, and in particular to the use of hyperthermophilic degradation to produce heat from a biomass. In some embodiments, a biomass is fermented in the presence of hyperthermophilic organisms to produce heat. The heat is used to heat a liquid which is used directly in a heat pump or radiant heat or to produce electricity or drive a steam turbine.
Abstract:
This invention provides method of treatment and prophylaxis of both insulin (Type I) and non-insulin dependent (type II) diabetes mellitus, by administration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the form of pure isomers, selected isomer mixtures or non-selected isomer mixtures. The conjugated linoleic acids may be administered alone, or in combination with other diabetes therapeutic regimes.
Abstract:
A conjugated linoleic acid is prepared in industrial scale as a hydrolyzed isomerized product for blending into bulk domestic animal feeds. The CLA-containing isomerized hydrolyzed oil from sunflower and safflower seeds has sufficiently low levels of phosphatides and sterols to permit crude processing and incorporation into feeds of an undried, undistilled oil fraction without toxic or unpalatable effects.

Abstract:
New cosmetic formulations containing free and derivatized forms of conjugated linoleic acid. These ingredients have beneficial effects related to their medicinal and nutritional properties, but also are engineered for their compatibility with standard cosmetic ingredients. Certain vitamin/conjugated linoleic acid combinational molecules are described which deliver equimolar amounts of both free components to viable layers of the epidermis, thereby obtaining multiple functionality of the final product.
