Claims13
A method of inhibiting neuronal cell death in an infant in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the infant a nutritional composition consisting essentially of a casein protein with a degree of hydrolysis of 10% to 75% and a mixture of a monoglycerol palmitate, soy lecithin, cholesterol, and at least one of a free fatty acid from soy and a salt of a free fatty acid from soy, and wherein after administration the infant's neuronal cell death is reduced.
A method of treating neuronal tissue inflammation in an infant in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the infant a nutritional composition consisting essentially of a casein protein with a degree of hydrolysis of 10% to 75% and a mixture of a monoglycerol palmitate, soy lecithin, cholesterol, and at least one of a free fatty acid from soy and a salt of a free fatty acid from soy, and wherein after administration the infant's neuronal tissue inflammation is reduced.
A method of reducing neuronal tissue inflammation in an infant in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the infant a nutritional composition consisting essentially of a casein protein with a degree of hydrolysis of 10% to 75% and a mixture of a monoglycerol palmitate, soy lecithin, cholesterol, and at least one of a free fatty acid from soy and a salt of a free fatty acid from soy.
