Abstract
Use of a compound having the formula (1) (2) (3) (4) or, or combinations thereof, for providing a source of butyrate with improved organoleptic properties wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently a long chain fatty acid having between 16 and 20 carbons for use in promoting immune response and/or preventing and/or treating bacterial and/or viral infections.
Claims18
A method for promoting immune response and/or preventing and/or treating bacterial and/or viral infections in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a compound having a formula selected from the group consisting of:
- and combinations thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently a long chain fatty acid having between 16 and 20 carbons.
A method for promoting immune response and/or preventing and/or treating bacterial and/or viral infections in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a compound having formula (5) and a compound having formula (6);
- wherein the compound having formula (5) comprises at least 10% by weight of total triglycerides in the composition, and wherein the compound having formula (6) comprises at least 10% by weight of the total triglycerides in the composition.
A method for promoting immune response and/or preventing and/or treating bacterial and/or viral infections in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a compound having formula (5) and a compound having formula (6):
- wherein the compound having formula (5) comprises at least 10% by weight of total butyrate moiety containing triglycerides in the composition, and wherein the compound having formula (6) comprises at least 10% by weight of the total butyrate moiety containing triglycerides in the composition.
