Abstract:
The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants and/or toddlers comprising a lipid component which has a large lipid globule size having a volume-weighted mode diameter above 1.0 μm and/or with a diameter of 2 to 12 μm in an amount of at least 45 volume % based on total lipid. The composition can be used to increase bone mineral content and/or bone mass density to prevent osteoporosis and/or osteopenia and to improve calcium absorption.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a liquid nutrition comprising short chain fatty acyl chains and a non-digestible, fermentable saccharide. The composition is particular suitable for use as an infant nutrition. The composition is also suitable for treatment and/or prevention of gut barrier related disorders.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preventing or alleviating symptoms of malabsorption in a monogastric mammal which malabsorption is caused by impaired intestinal digestion, said method comprising the enteral administration to said mammal of an effective amount of one or more strains of the genus Propionibacterium and/or a prebiotic that stimulates gastrointestinal activity of Propionibacterium. Another aspect of the invention relates to a dietary supplement comprising at least 106 metabolically active cells of the genus Propionibacterium; at least 0.5 g of a prebiotic and/or at least 106 metabolically active homofermentative cells of the genus Lactobacillus and/or at least 106 metabolically active cells of the genus Bifidobacterium; and a nutritionally acceptable carrier.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an enteral composition containing phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesterol or precursors thereof, which can be used in the treatment of sepsis. With the composition of the invention the natural level of chylomicrons is maintained, in particular in gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which ensures that most of LPS and/or LTA which are released in the body can be neutralized, substantially decreasing the risk of locally occurring high levels of LPS and/or LTA and thus sepsis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preventing and/or treating visceral adiposity and/or to alter body fat distribution by administering a certain nutritional composition to a human subject with the age between 0 and 48 months, and preventing the occurrence of diseases later in life.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preventing obesity later in life by administering a certain nutritional composition to an infant with the age between 0 and 36 months. The composition comprises linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid.

Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition for use in treatment of a subject having neoplasms with a view to reducing size and/or number of neoplasms, said pharmaceutical composition comprising a complex of a cytostatic compound of the cis platinum family and an anionic organic compound as a complexed form of the active pharmaceutical component, said complex having general formula (1) wherein Q = -CO- or -PO(O )-; Y = -CHR'-, -CO-, -PO(O )- or a direct bond; Z1, Z2 = independently O or NR', R1, R2=H or a hydrocarbon group optionally substituted, optionally linked to each other or to R3 and/or R4 wherein R3, R4=H or hydrocarbon group optionally substituted, optionally linked to each other or to R1 and/or R2, wherein R'=H, or a hydrocarbon group optionally substituted and wherein R''=hydrocarbon group substituted by a group capable of liposome formation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to infant nutrition, in particular to infant nutrition comprising special lipid globules for improvement of the fatty acid composition in brain membranes later in life.
