Abstract:
Suggested are new compositions for oral ingestion, comprising at least one active agent from the group of alkamides. The compositions which are orally ingested reduce the uptake of free fatty acids in the adipocytes and at the same time stimulate the release of serotonin and dopamine, which leads to a reduction of appetite, a feeling of satiety and a positive mood. In doing so, the new compositions are thus perfectly suitable to counteract any undesired gain of weight.
Abstract:
What are proposed are primarily aromatic alkenoic acid derivatives of the formula I for use in a therapeutic method as (a) means for reducing appetite and/or (b) means for causing a feeling of satiation and/or as (c) means for reducing energy intake and/or as (d) mood enhancers, and the non-therapeutic use of the aromatic alkenoic acid derivatives of formula I as (a) means for reducing appetite and/or (b) means for causing a feeling of satiation and/or as (c) means for reducing energy intake and/or as (d) mood enhancers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) or the salts thereof, said compounds of formula (I) being selected from among the group consisting of homoeriodictyol (1), eriodictyol (2), hesperetin (3) and sterubin (4), for use in the treatment of an ailment which can be alleviated or prevented by influencing the serotonin level and the concentration of free fatty acids in the blood.

Abstract:
There is described primarily N-nonanoylvanillylamine for use in a therapeutic method as (a) an agent for reducing the appetite and/or (b) an agent for imparting a feeling of fullness and/or (c) a mood enhancer, as well as the non-therapeutic use of N-nonanoylvanillylamine as (a) an agent for reducing the appetite and/or (b) an agent for imparting a feeling of fullness and/or (c) a mood enhancer. The non-therapeutic use of corresponding substance mixtures is also further described. Finally, the invention relates also to orally consumable products (in particular foodstuffs, feeds and medicaments) comprising N-nonanoylvanillylamine, wherein the N-nonanoylvanillylamine is present in a concentration that (a) reduces the appetite and/or (b) brings about a feeling of fullness and/or (c) enhances the mood, but which concentration is low.
