The invention described herein provides a preparation comprising a non-mammalian derived mixture of serine glycerophospholipid conjugates with a specific content and specific conjugation patterns of LA, linolenic acid (alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid) DHA and EPA which depend on utilizing different sources of lipids and uses of such preparations.

Glycerophospholipids for the improvement of cognitive functions

The invention described herein provides a preparation comprising a non-mammalian derived mixture of serine glycerophospholipid conjugates with a specific content and specific conjugation patterns of LA, linolenic acid (alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid) DHA and EPA which depend on utilizing different sources of lipids, and uses of such preparations.

A lipid preparation including a glycerophospholipid or salt, conjugate and derivatives thereof, particularly phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl-inositol (PI), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidic acid (PA), and poly-unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) acyl groups, particularly long-chain poly-unsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) acyl groups such as omega-3 and/or omega-6 acyl groups, wherein said PUFA is covalently bound to said glycerophospholipid. The preparation possesses an improved bioactivity, and is useful in the treatment of various cognitive and mental conditions and disorders and for maintenance of normal functions of brain-related systems and processes.

Lipids containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids

This invention provides a preparation comprising serine glycerophospholipids which comprise a mixture of serine glycerophospholipids comprising eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and serine glycerophospholipids comprising docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), wherein each such serine glycerophospholipid comprising EPA and each such serine glycerophospholipid comprising DHA has the formula (I): wherein R&#x2033; is serine; wherein one of R or R' is acyl EPA or acyl DHA and the other of R or R&#x2032; is hydrogen or an acyl group; wherein the combined amount of EPA and DHA present in such mixture of serine glycerophospholipids constitutes 10-50% by weight of the total fatty acids content of the serine glycerophospholipids in said preparation; and wherein the mixture is not identical to naturally occurring human or mammalian brain PS.
