The present invention relates to the treatment or prevention of conditions linked to reduced muscle mass or reduced muscle protein synthesis rate. A subject matter of the invention is a composition comprising complexes of whey protein micelles and pectin for use in the treatment or prevention of a condition selected from the group consisting of sarcopenia, muscle atrophy and negative nitrogen balance. Further aspects of the invention relate to the non-therapeutic use of a composition comprising complexes of whey protein micelles and pectin and a food composition.

Complexes of whey protein micelles and pectin and body muscle protein synthesis

A delivery vehicle with a core surrounded by a digestible polymer shell having a melting and/or softening point above the body temperature of an animal or human, and where the core has a lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredient dispersed in a continuous polymer matrix. The delivery vehicle can be used to release lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredients, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, traditional/herbal medicine, or combinations thereof, after a predetermined lag time following ingestion.

Delivery system comprising a core and a digestible polymer shell

The present invention relates to a composition comprising polysaccharides and whey protein micelles for use in the treatment or prevention of a disorder linked to an increase in plasma postprandial insulin in a subject. The invention relates also to the non-therapeutic use of a composition comprising polysaccharides and whey protein micelles to decrease plasma postprandial insulin concentration. A further aspect of the invention is a process for forming polysaccharide-whey protein micelle complexes.

Use of whey protein micelles and polysaccharides for improving insulin profile

A delivery vehicle comprising a core () surrounded by a digestible polymer shell () having a melting and/or softening point above the body temperature of an animal or human, wherein said core comprises a lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredient () dispersed in a continuous polymer matrix (). The delivery vehicle can be used to release lipid and/or lipophilic active ingredients, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, traditional/herbal medicine, or combinations thereof, after a predetermined lag time following ingestion.
