摘要:
In a slimming cosmetic composition for applying a gel cosmetic composition to the skin, then covering the skin surface over the cosmpetic composition and fastening, wherein a lipolytic component is compounded in a gel base. As the lipolytic component, either one or both of anhydrous caffeine and marine algae extract is selected. Butcher's broom extract is compounded in the cosmetic compound. The butcher broom extract has an action of recovering capillary vessels to a normal condition and of removing waste matter with water.

摘要:
Although compositions from seaweed have long been sought after for beneficial properties for the skin, the ability to produce efficacious compositions has been elusive. An intra-lamellar gel, produced from marine algae, has been found to enhance the condition of skin and hair. Milt, optionally in combination with intra-lamellar gel, also provides a composition useful for application to the skin or hair.

Chlorella extracts containing high molecular weight Chlorella polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes show immune modulatory, specifically immune stimulatory, activity. The polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes contain glucose and any combination of: galactose, rhamnose, mannose and arabinose, as well as N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine. The extracts may be treated with pronase, DNAse, RNAse and proteases to remove unassociated nucleic acids, ribonucleic acids and proteins. The extracts may also undergo treatment to effect cleavage of specific glycosidic linkages, the linkages being defined by their susceptibility to cleavage by amylase, amyloglucosidase, cellulase or neuraminidase. Chlorella extracts may be administered to a mammal to increase proliferation of splenocytes and increase production of cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10, INF-null and TNF-null. They may be used as a supplement to a vaccination regimen.
摘要:
The present invention provides a gene, termed nullFTnull for flowering locus T, and a polypeptide encoded by FT that modulates flower development in plants. FT is useful in methods of the invention for producing genetically modified plants characterized as having the phenotypic trait of modulated flower development, for example early or delayed flowering. Such plants can be genetically modified by nucleic acids encoding functional FT peptides; at least one antisense nucleic acid for FT; a structural gene that encodes wild-type FT polypeptide; or a structural gene that encodes dominant negative polypeptides, for example, in order to modulate flowering in the plant.
摘要:
Methods for maintaining, improving or increasing the synthesis of mucins by administering a nutritional composition or supplement that contains a therapeutically effective amount of threonine are provided. The present invention further provides methods for treating a variety of disease states characterized by alterations to the mucin levels, such as, intestinal inflammatory and bacterial infections or other like disease states.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of chemistry and more particularly to that of plant chemistry. Its specific aim is a process for obtaining powders or extracts from the alga Padina pavonica, titrated with active principles by means of a coefficient of equivalence with estradiol, which consists of dosing the extract or the powder of Padina pavonica using a method in which osteoblasts are cultivated in a medium rich in calcium ions, an analysis is made of the calcium fixed by the cells of the extracellular matrix in the presence or absence of agents antagonistic to the fixing of calcium, and the results are expressed either in arbitrary or international units in relation to a reference standard or by reference to the known activity of fixed doses of estradiol or of any other agent favouring the fixing of calcium. Utilization in biology.
摘要:
A method and composition is described for prevention or treatment of Type II Diabetes Mellitus and its complications comprising the step of administering to a mammal an amount of seaweed extract in effective doses. The seaweed is selected from the group consisting of brown algae, red algae and green algae, wherein the seaweed extract contains a polysaccharide. Optionally, the polysaccharide is Rhamnose, in approximately 63-78 mole %. The seaweed extract optionally also contains approximately 6.5-9.2 mole % Xylose. Optionally, Rhamnose and Xylose are present in the seaweed extract in amounts in a ratio of approximately 12 Rhamnose to 1 Xylose and 8 Rhamnose to 1 Xylose. Preferably, the Rhamnose (algopolysaccharide) is sulfinated. Optionally, the seaweed extract is mixed with food stuffs such as cereals, bread, drinks, health bars, juices, concentrates, canned food, ice cream, water, staple goods such as wheat, corn, barley, and oat in any form, or taste maskers such as sugar or ascorbic acid.
