20140256808 | Use of Ketogenic Compounds for Treatment of Age-Associated Memory Impairment - This invention relates to the field of therapeutic agents for the treatment of Age-Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI). In particular, the present invention utilizes compositions comprising at least one compound capable of elevating ketone body concentrations in a mammal (e.g., ketogenic compounds), administered in an amount effective for treatment or prevention of loss of cognitive function caused by reduced neuronal metabolism in AAMI. In one embodiment, the composition includes medium chain triglycerides (MCT). In another embodiment, the compositions are administered in the presence of carbohydrate. The present invention also relates to oral dosage forms, in particular, a nutritional drink comprising at least one compound capable of elevating ketone body concentrations in a mammal. | 09-11-2014 |
20130225682 | Use of Medium Chain Triglycerides for the Treatment and Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Diseases Resulting from Reduced Neuronal Metabolism II - Methods and compositions for treating or preventing, the occurrence of senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type, or other conditions arising from reduced neuronal metabolism and leading to lessened cognitive function are described. In a preferred embodiment the administration of triglycerides or fatty acids with chain lengths between 5 and 12, to said patient at a level to produce an improvement in cognitive ability. | 08-29-2013 |
20130005693 | Method for Reducing Levels of Disease Associated Proteins - The subject invention concerns the reduction of protein aggregation in the neurons of a mammal through the use of a ketogenic treatment such as a ketogenic diet, a physical training regimen and/or administration of agents to increase fatty acid oxidation. Such ketogenic treatment can be useful in the reduction of certain aggregates including amyloid β peptide, polyglutamine containing huntintin protein, polyglutamine containing androgen receptor, polyglutamine containing atrophin-1, polyglutamine containing ataxins, α-synclein, prion protein, tau and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). | 01-03-2013 |

20110243885 | Use of Genomic Testing and Ketogenic Compounds for Treatment of Reduced Cognitive Function - This invention relates to methods of using genotyping to select patients for treatment with compounds capable of elevating ketone body concentrations in amounts effective to treat reduced neuronal metabolism associated with reduced neuronal metabolism, for example Alzheimer's disease. | 10-06-2011 |
20110178032 | Monoglyceride of Acetoacetate and Derivatives for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders - This invention relates to methods of using the monoglyceride of acetoacetate and metabolic precursors for the treatment, prevention, inhibition or alleviation of neurological diseases associated with neuronal hypometabolism, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA), GLUT1-deficient Epilepsy, Leprechaunism and Rabson-Mendenhall Syndrome, Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft (CABG) dementia, anesthesia induced memory loss, age associated memory impairment (AAMI), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Huntington's disease and many others. | 07-21-2011 |
20100261791 | Compositions and Methods for Improving or Preserving Brain Function - The present invention is related to mammalian nutrition and effects thereof in individuals with age associated cognitive decline such as Age Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) or a dementing illness such as Alzheimer's disease or related dementia, or Mild Cognitive Impairment, such as improving performance in, or reversal, prevention, reducing and delaying decline in, one or more of cognitive function, memory, behavior, cerebrovascular function, motor function, and/or brain physiology are seen. In particular, the present invention utilizes medium chain triglycerides, in one embodiment, administered as part of a long-term treatment regimen, to preserve or improve learning, attention, motor performance, cerebrovascular function, social behavior, and to increase activity levels, particularly in aging mammals. | 10-14-2010 |
20100041751 | Method to Reduce Oxidative Damage and Improve Mitochondrial Efficiency - Methods for the reduction of mitochondrial oxidative damage and improved mitochondrial efficiency in an animal by administration of medium chain triglycerides or prodrug of medium chain triglycerides to the animal are provided. | 02-18-2010 |
20100003730 | Enzymatic Synthesis of Acetoacetate Esters and Derivatives - In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for the synthesis of an ester derivative of acetoacetate. The method includes providing a first ester of acetoacetate and providing an alcohol. The method further includes combining the first ester of acetoacetate and the alcohol in the presence of an enzyme capable of transesterification in a non-aqueous solvent to form the ester derivative of acetoacetate. The method results in the formation of the ester derivative of acetoacetate, which, in one embodiment, is monoacetoacetin. | 01-07-2010 |
