Abstract
The invention concerns the use of a nutritional composition for the treatment of disorders which are associated with malfunctioning in the uptake and use of food-derived energy in the human body. In particular, the invention concerns the use of a nutritional composition for the treatment of a disorder, which is mediated by a postprandial endocrine or neurological response in a human body, wherein the nutritional composition comprises one or more of a specific protein fraction, a specific carbohydrate fraction and a specific nutritional fiber fraction.

1-16. (canceled)
A method for treating a disorder mediated by a postprandial endocrine response in a human body involving the sequential or simultaneous release of insulin and glucagon, the method comprising administering to a human a nutritional composition comprising:
- (a) a protein fraction comprising at least 30 weight % of a vegetable protein,
- (b) a digestible carbohydrate fraction comprising:
- (i) 15 to 70 weight % of at least one of galactose and lactose, and
- (ii) 10 to 65 weight % of isomaltulose, and
- (c) a nutritional fiber fraction comprising 60 to 92 weight % of a soluble fiber.
A method for treating a disorder mediated by a postprandial endocrine or neurological response in a human body selected from the release of at least 2 of the group consisting of insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, GLP-2, gastrin, amylin, PYY, GIP, reeelin, CCK, glicentin, hGH, IGF-1, oxytocin, vasopressin and melanocortins, the method comprising administering to a human a nutritional composition comprising:
- (a) a protein fraction comprising at least 30 weight % of a vegetable protein,
- (b) a digestible carbohydrate fraction comprising:
- (i) 15 to 70 weight % of at least one of galactose and lactose, and
- (ii) 10 to 65 weight % of isomaltulose, and
- (c) a nutritional fiber fraction comprising 60 to 92 weight % of a soluble fiber.
A method for treating a disorder mediated by a postprandial endocrine or neurological response in a human body, the method comprising administering to a human a nutritional composition comprising at least one of:
- (a) a protein fraction comprising at least 30 weight % of a vegetable protein,
- (b) a digestible carbohydrate fraction comprising:
- (i) 15 to 70 weight % of at least one of galactose and lactose, and
- (ii) 10 to 65 weight % of isomaltulose, and/or
- (c) a nutritional fiber fraction comprising 60 to 92 weight % of a soluble fiber, wherein the composition further comprises one or more of melatonine, carnosine, anserine, octanoic acid, choline, betaine, and functional equivalents thereof.
