Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Novel marine lipid compositions comprising triglycerides and omega-3 rich phospholipids are described. The compositions are characterized by providing highly bioavailable omega-3, increased tissue incorporation of omega-3 and reduced concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gel capsule containing a lipid composition comprising a mixture of phospholipid molecules, having the following general structure: wherein said mixture of phospholipid molecules is characterized in comprising at least 1% docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) residues or eicosopentaenoic acid (EPA) residues at positions R1 or R2 and from 15 to 45% of OH at positions R1 or R2 and wherein R1 and R2 are not simultaneously —OH, wherein R3 is a moiety selected from the group consisting of choline, ethanolamine, inositol and serine moieties, and wherein said mixture of phospholipids is acylated in a range from 55% to about 85%. 2. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said mixture of phospholipids has a ratio of EPA/DHA ranging from 1:1 to 4:1. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of phospholipids having a ratio of EPA/DHA ranging from 2:1 to 4:1. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises a lipid carrier in a ratio of from 1:10 to 10:1 to said phospholipids. 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said lipid carrier is selected from the group consisting of a triglyceride, a diglyceride, fatty acid ethyl ester, and a fatty acid methyl ester and combinations thereof. 6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said lipid carrier and said mixture of phospholipids are in a ratio of from about 5:1 to 1:5. 7. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said composition comprises from about 20% to about 90% of said mixture of phospholipids and from about 10% to about 50% of said lipid carrier.
