Abstract:
The invention provides methods for using fatty acid alkanolamides for reducing lipid absorption from the intestine of an animal. Reducing lipid absorption results in fewer lipids available for an animal to convert to body fat. Converting fewer lipids to body fat means that the animal reduces body fat, body weight, and/or body weight gain when consuming an equivalent amount of lipids without the fatty acid alkanolamides.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for using fatty acid alkanolamides for ameliorating one or more symptoms or conditions caused by stress, e.g., loss of appetite, or for maintaining and enhancing nutrient and caloric intake by an animal under stress or that has experienced stress. Generally, the fatty acid alkanolamides in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 1500 mg/kg/day before, during or after stress, preferably on a regular or daily basis as a component of a food composition or as a dietary supplement.

Abstract:
The invention provides methods for promoting lean body mass growth in an animal. The methods comprise administering OEA to the animals, preferably in amounts of from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg/kg/day.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to the protection and repair of connective tissues. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of chondroitin sulfates and its derivatives in connective tissue protection and repair. The present inventors have found that unsaturated disaccharidic chondroitin sulfate can be used for the preparation of a composition to develop, protect and/or repair connective tissues. This allows it for example to treat or prevent osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, and/or the symptoms thereof as well as to treat or prevent signs of skin ageing such as the appearance of wrinkles effectively.

Abstract:
The invention provides methods for enhancing the palatability of comestible compositions by combining the comestible compositions with a palatability enhancing amount of one or more fatty acid alkanolamides and the compositions produced by such methods.
Abstract:
The invention provides (1) genes differentially expressed in animals administered fatty acid amides that affect one or more of food intake, satiety, lipid metabolism, and fat utilization and (2) compositions and methods relating to the use of the genes to identify new compounds that affect one or more of food intake, satiety, lipid metabolism, and fat utilization.
