International Classification:

A61K 31415

US Classification:

514400

Abstract:

The present invention is based in part upon the discovery that the use of pyruvate in enteral formulations, in combination with an anabolic protein composition, produces a synergistic effect in increasing the lean body mass or muscle tissue of a mammal consuming same. The present invention also provides a method for enhanced endurance of athletes. The present invention relates generally to a composition for enhancing the protein concentration or muscle mass of a mammal and a method for enhancing the protein concentration or muscle mass in a mammal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition which comprises pyruvate and/or derivatives of pyruvate and an anabolic protein composition. The method of the present invention comprises administering to a mammal in need of enhancing its protein concentration or muscle mass, a composition comprising pyruvate and an anabolic protein composition. The pyruvate/anabolic protein composition can take the form of powders, liquids, pills, capsules, tablets, food additives, candies or confections.

Nov 20, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/933102

Inventors:

Paxton K. Beale - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

A63B 2306
A61H 102

US Classification:

272 69

Abstract:

Apparatus for training a person to walk with proper or improved pelvic posture. The apparatus includes a treadmill and mechanical means for controllably imposing a preselected pelvic posture on a person on the treadmill. A control circuit coupled to the mechanical means causes the mechanical means to impose a preselected pelvic posture on a person on the treadmill for a preselected training time period, and then releases the person's pelvis. Using this apparatus, a person walking on the treadmill can learn to walk with proper pelvic posture by first walking during a training time period with a preselected pelvic posture, and by thereafter walking without being restrained by the mechanical means while trying to maintain the pelvic posture position learned during the training time period.

A61K 31685

US Classification:

514 23

Abstract:

The present invention is based, in part, upon the discovery that the use of pyruvate in combination with a cortisol blocker, such as phosphatidylserine, produces a synergistic effect in increasing lean body mass or muscle tissue, decreasing fat deposition, increasing endurance and athletic performance of a mammal consuming same. The invention also relates to a method of treating the catabolic effects of diseases such as cancer and AIDS by the administration of pyruvate and a cortisol blocker. The present invention also discloses a synergistic composition comprising pyruvate and a cortisol blocker. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition which comprises pyruvate and/or derivatives of pyruvate and phosphatidylserine.

US Classification:

514 2

Abstract:

The present invention is based in part upon the discovery that the use of pyruvate in enteral formulations, in combination with an anabolic protein composition, produces a synergistic effect in increasing the lean body mass or muscle tissue of a mammal consuming same. The present invention also provides a method for increasing fat loss or decreasing the percent body fat in a mammal through the administration of an anabolic protein composition. The present invention relates generally to a composition for enhancing the protein concentration or muscle mass of a mammal and a method for enhancing the protein concentration or muscle mass in a mammal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition which comprises an anabolic protein composition and optionally pyruvate and/or derivatives thereof. The compositions according to the invention can take the form of powders, liquids, pills, capsules, tablets, food additives, candies or confections.

Abstract:

The present invention is based in part upon the discovery that the use of pyruvate in enteral formulations, in combination with anaerobic exercise produces a synergistic effect in increasing the amount of lean body mass or muscle tissue in a mammal. The present invention relates generally to a composition for enhancing the protein concentration or muscle mass of a mammal and a method for enhancing the protein concentration or muscle mass in a mammal. More specifically, the present invention relates to the consumption of a composition which comprises calcium pyruvate and potassium pyruvate and derivatives of pyruvate such as pyruvyl-creatine and anaerobic exercise to enhance muscle mass. The method of the present invention comprises administering to a mammal in need of enhancing its protein concentration or muscle mass, a composition comprising pyruvate and the subjecting of a mammal to anaerobic exercise. The pyruvate composition can take the form of powders, liquids, pills, capsules, tablets, food additives, candies or confections.
