The present disclosure relates to nutritional supplement including a peptide component. The nutritional supplement further includes a source of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids andGG. The disclosure further relates to methods of protecting against obesity and its related metabolic disorders and inflammatory diseases in a target subject by providing the nutritional supplement(s) disclosed herein to a target subject, which includes a pediatric subject.

Nutritional supplements containing a peptide component and uses thereof

The present disclosure is directed to methods for i) promoting gut regeneration, ii) promoting gut maturation and/or adaptation, iii) supporting gut barrier resistance and/or iv) protecting gut barrier function in a pediatric subject comprising administering to the pediatric subject a composition comprising an effective amount of a soluble mediator preparation derived from a late-exponential growth phase of a probiotic batch-cultivation process, such asGG (LGG). The present methods advantageously provide the gut-protection benefits of LGG soluble mediators without introducing live bacterial culture to individuals with impaired gut barrier function. In some embodiments, the pediatric subject has impaired gut barrier function and/or short bowel syndrome. The present disclosure in other embodiments, directed methods for reducing visceral pain in a pediatric subject comprising administering to the pediatric subject a composition comprising an effective amount of a soluble mediator preparation from a late-exponential growth phase of a probiotic batch-cultivation process, such as LGG.

Nutritional compositions for promoting gut barrier function and ameliorating visceral pain

The present disclosure relates to nutritional compositions comprising a protein equivalent source, wherein 20% to 80% of the protein equivalent source includes a peptide component comprising SEQ ID NO 4, SEQ ID NO 13, SEQ ID NO 17, SEQ ID NO 21, SEQ ID NO 24, SEQ ID NO 30, SEQ ID NO 31, SEQ ID NO 32, SEQ ID NO 51, SEQ ID NO 57, SEQ ID NO 60, and SEQ ID NO 63, and 20% to 80% of the protein equivalent source comprises an intact protein, a partially hydrolyzed protein, or combinations thereof. The disclosure further relates to methods of reducing the inflammatory response and/or production of proinflammatory cytokines, i.e. Interleukin-17, by providing said nutritional compositions to a target subject.

Nutritional composition containing a peptide component with anti-inflammatory properties and uses thereof

The present disclosure provides a method for suppressing a proinflammatory response by administering a composition comprising peptides selected from a casein hydrolysate. Such a composition may reduce the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and may be a treatment for inflammatory disease, especially type 1 diabetes. Preferably, the hydrolysate consists of peptides with a molecular weight of more than 500 Da.

Reducing proinflammatory response

The present disclosure relates to nutritional compositions including a protein equivalent source that includes a peptide component comprising selected peptides. The protein equivalent source may further include intact protein, hydrolyzed protein, including partially hydrolyzed protein, or combinations thereof. The disclosure further relates to methods of promoting healthy body weight in a target subject by stimulating adiponectin levels by providing the nutritional compositions disclosed herein to a target subject, which includes a pediatric subject.

Nutritional composition containing a peptide component with adiponectin simulating properties and uses thereof

The present disclosure relates to nutritional compositions including a protein equivalent source including a peptide component comprising selected peptides from Tables 1 and 2 disclosed herein. The protein equivalent source may further include intact protein, hydrolyzed protein, including partially hydrolyzed protein, or combinations thereof. The disclosure further relates to methods of reducing the incidence of autoimmune disease and/or diabetes mellitus by providing said nutritional compositions to a target subject, which includes a pediatric subject.

Nutritional compositions containing a peptide component and uses thereof

The present disclosure provides a method for reducing the risk of autoimmune disease by administering a composition comprising peptides selected from a casein hydrolysate. Such a composition, may reduce the symptoms of autoimmune disease and may be a treatment for autoimmune disease, especially type 1 diabetes. Preferably, the hydrolysate consists of peptides with a molecular weight of more than 500 Da.

Reducing the risk of autoimmune disease

The present disclosure provides a method for activating adiponectin by administering a composition comprising peptides selected from a casein hydrolysate. Such a composition may reduce risk of heart attack and help in maintaining healthy weight. Preferably, the hydrolysate consists of peptides with a molecular weight of more than 500 Da.
