Benefits of technology

The disclosure is about a nutritional composition that improves metabolic flexibility in infants and adults. The composition contains extensively hydrolyzed casein and long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Using this composition reduces plasma levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and other substances in response to a high fat diet, and improves insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and adiponectin levels.

Problems solved by technology

Accumulation of excess white adipose tissue (WAT) adversely affects metabolic health.

example 1

[0238]The following example demonstrates that eHC, ARA / DHA and their combination is capable of inducing adipocyte browning and reducing metabolic disturbances later in life. eHC is denoted as “casein” in the figures.

Ucp-1 Luciferase Knock-in Mouse Model

[0239]UCP1 is a key molecule in browning, and increased expression is a measure for browning induction. In Ucp-1 luciferase knock-in reporter mice, in vivo imaging of luciferase activity directly reflects the UCP1 protein level in vivo. In this study, mice were fed normal chow, and supplementation with ARA / DHA, eHC and their combination began post-weaning at 4 weeks of age and continued for 8 weeks. At 12 weeks of age, animals were switched to a high fat diet (HFD, including test ingredients ARA / DHA and / or eHC), and feeding was continued for another 12 weeks. Browning activity (as illustrated by luciferase signal) at different adipose tissue depots and browning relevant marker genes were analyzed at different time points. Other parame...

Abstract

This disclosure relates to methods of inducing adipocyte browning, supporting metabolic flexibility, and / or reducing detrimental WAT deposition or reducing WAT dysfunction in a subject by administering extensively hydrolyzed casein and / or fractions thereof (“eHC”) to the subject, and / or by administering a long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (e.g., docosahexaenoic acid and / or arachidonic acid) to the subject.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This disclosure relates to methods of inducing adipocyte browning, supporting metabolic flexibility, and / or reducing detrimental white adipose tissue (WAT) deposition or reducing WAT dysfunction by administering extensively hydrolyzed casein and / or fractions thereof (“eHC”) to a subject, and / or by administering a long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (e.g., docosahexaenoic acid and / or arachidonic acid).BACKGROUND[0002]Accumulation of excess white adipose tissue (WAT) adversely affects metabolic health. In contrast, brown adipose tissue (BAT) confers benefits on metabolic health, and is characterized by increased energy-expenditure capacity in the form of heat (thermogenesis). The negative effects of WAT may be reduced by inducing the development of brown adipocytes or beige adipocytes (also called ‘brite’ (brown-in-white), induced BAT, recruitable BAT and wBAT (white adipose BAT) in WAT, a process called “browning.” (See, Harms et al. (2013) NATURE MEDICINE 19:1...
