The invention relates to an emulsion which comprises phospholipids containing omega-3-fatty acids such as DHA and EPA in a high amount and a vegetable oil and/or marine oil. It also relates to the use of phospholipids containing the omega-3-fatty acids such as DHA and EPA in high amount for the manufacturing of a nutritive emulsion giving low serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels and for the manufacturing of a medicament with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. The invention also discloses phospholipids containing omega-3-fatty acids such as DHA and EPA with therapeutic effects such as effects on inflammatory and immunologically active cells, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and sepsis and an effect on normal brain and retina development and function and cardiovascular diseases. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical and nutritive compositions as well as lipid particles comprising the phospholipids.
An emulsion comprising vegetable oil and/or marine oil, an aqueous phase and phospholipids as emulsifier characterized in that the phospholipids are of marine and/or synthetic origin and contain omega-3-fatty acids in an amount of at least 30% (w/w).
Phospholipids of marine and/or synthetic origin containing omega-3-fatty acids in an amount of at least 30% (w/w) with therapeutic effect.
A mono-, bi and/or multilayered vesicle or any mixture thereof characterized by its content of phospholipids containing the omega 3-fatty acids in an mount of more than 30% (w/w).
