    摘要: Yeast-derived fiber has been demonstrated, as described herein, to effectively improve the serum lipid profile in humans, when provided as a dietary supplement, without some of the disadvantages known to accompany dietary supplementation with oat fiber or psyllium fiber. Described herein are dietary supplements comprising yeast fiber, e.g., &bgr;-glucan or glucomannan, and further comprising folic acid or a salt thereof, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and vitamin E. The dietary supplements of the invention can further comprise fats, carbohydrates and proteins, for example, and other ingredients added to formulate a food product. Such food products can be in the form, for example, of solid or semi-solid foods, such as food bars, pudding, or spreads. By including folate and vitamin B6, the dietary supplement provides a second benefit of suppressing the level of homocysteine in the blood. A third benefit is provided by the anti-oxidant properties of vitamin E, particularly the effect of preserving low density lipoproteins from oxidation. Further embodiments of the invention are methods for improving the serum lipid profile in a human, methods for lowering risk of heart disease, and methods for improving cardiovascular health in a human, comprising administering to the human a dietary supplement of the invention.

    摘要: An improved enteral formulation that is low in fat and contains protein hydrolysates has been developed. The osmolality of the formulation is controlled to be below 500 mOs/kg H.sub.2 O, preferably about 300 mOs/kg H.sub.2 O. In a preferred embodiment, the formulation contains corn starch to control blood glucose levels. This formulation is particularly useful for treatment of critically ill patients and in minimizing a risk of pulmonary aspiration and/or gastrointestinal dysfunction in such patients.

    摘要: A method of pulsatile infusion of a drug or other therapeutic agent is described. The pulsatile infusion method minimizes tachyphylaxis, while enabling the target cell, tissue, or organ to benefit from the administered drug or other therapeutic agent. The drug or other therapeutic agent, an agonist or antagonist for a molecule of the receptor system, is administered in a succession of at least two pulses. The pulses have a selected amplitude and duration so that the binding affinity of the receptor system molecule is decreased by a predetermined amount in response to each pulse. This predetermined amount is less than the difference between the maximum binding affinity of the receptor system molecule, when it is not exposed to either the agonist or antagonist, and its minimum binding affinity for the agonist or antagonist, when it is continuously exposed to the agonist or antagonist. The pulses are spaced apart by a selected interpulse period wherein the binding affinity of the receptor system molecule increases to the maximum value.
