20090203638 | PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR METABOLIC MODULATION - Pharmaceutical compositions include compounds with cytokinin activity to modulate glucose and/or lipid metabolism in a mammal. Especially preferred compounds include those comprising a purine scaffold, and it is further preferred that contemplated compositions are employed to prevent and/or treat various diseases, including pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, Syndrome X, and dyslipidemia. In still further preferred aspects, compounds with cytokinin activity are used to activate AMPK and/or Akt. Consequently, various diseases associated with dysregulation of AMPK and/or Akt may be treated using the compounds of the present inventive subject matter. | 08-13-2009 |
20090208620 | Alimentary Compositions and Methods For Metabolic Modulation - Contemplated food products include compounds with cytokinin activity to modulate glucose and/or lipid metabolism, and in especially preferred aspects contemplated food products include one or more naturally occurring cytokinins (e.g., kinetin, N2-acetylguanine, zeatin, dihydrozeatin) at a concentration effective to prevent or treat pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, syndrome X, and/or dyslipidemia. Methods of marketing such products are also contemplated. | 08-20-2009 |
20090214710 | Methods and Compositions For Increasing Fermentation of a Microorganism - Fermentation of a microorganism is increased by including a cytokinin into the fermentation medium. Contemplated cytokinins may be synthetic cytokinins, cytokinins isolated from a natural source, or present in an extract that is specifically enriched for cytokinins. Especially contemplated microorganisms include yeast, and the fermentation in preferred aspects comprises catabolic conversion of a carbohydrate to ethanol and/or carbon dioxide. | 08-27-2009 |
20100068318 | Coffee Cherry Cosmetic Composition and Methods - A cosmetic composition comprises a coffee cherry preparation, and most preferably an extract from a sub-ripe quick-dried coffee cherry. Particularly contemplated cosmetic compositions are formulated as a shampoo, lotion, cream, balm, or ointment, and will have at least one of an antioxidant effect, an anti-inflammatory effect, a UV-protective effect, an antimutagenic effect, a chemoprotective effect, a scar reducing effect, a skin-lightening effect, a moisturizing effect, a wrinkle reduction effect, and an antibacterial effect. | 03-18-2010 |
20100080885 | Methods for Coffee Cherry Products - Methods are provided for isolating a nutrient from coffee cherries or for producing a food product that comprises a coffee cherry or portion thereof.
