First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating obesity and overweight comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising a GPR84 agonist and a GPR120 agonist, wherein the GPR84 agonist is 3,3′-diindolylmethane and wherein the GPR120 agonist is α-linolenic acid (ALA) or an ester thereof, wherein the composition is a delayed release formulation for release in the distal small intestine and large intestine. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , in which the GPR120 agonist is from a natural source. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , in which the natural source of GPR120 agonist is a plant seed oil. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an amino acid. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered orally. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the delayed release formulation is a delayed release capsule. 7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the delayed release capsule comprises a polymer of methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises the GPR84 agonist lauric acid.
