Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a maternal compositions comprising, with respect to the total fatty acid concentration, more than 50wt% of long chain fatty acids and 50wt% or less of medium chain fatty acids, for use to treat or prevent acid reflux, nausea or vomiting, gestational diabetes mellitus, and/or a condition associated with any of the foregoing in a pregnant subject and/or its offspring.
  • Nausea and vomiting, acid reflux, and indigestion are all common gastrointestinal conditions affecting pregnant mammals.
  • the seriousness of these conditions can range from the somewhat benign and merely uncomfortable, to the severe and in rare cases life-threatening.
  • the aforementioned conditions may not only be a threat to the health and wellbeing of the pregnant mammal, they may even pose a threat to the healthy development of her offspring.
  • compositions that can improve gastric motility, and in particular accelerate gastric emptying rates are of great interest to the maternal health and wellness industry.
  • compositions that can accelerate gastric emptying rates and thereby may be used to treat or prevent the aforementioned conditions.
  • mothers and their physicians are generally against the use of pharmacological therapies during pregnancy.
  • non-pharmaceutical compositions that can accelerate gastric emptying rates and which may therefore be used to treat and/or prevent nausea and vomiting, acid reflux, and indigestion in a pregnant subject.
  • a maternal composition comprising, with respect to the total fatty acid concentration, more than 50 wt% of long chain fatty acids and 50 wt% or less of medium chain fatty acids, is emptied rapidly from the stomach and may be used to accelerate gastric emptying. This is particularly in comparison to a composition comprising more than 50 wt% of medium chain fatty acids and 50 wt% or less of long chain fatty acids.
  • a maternal composition comprising, with respect to the total fatty acid concentration, more than 50 wt% of long chain fatty acids and 50% or less of medium chain fatty acids, is emptied rapidly from the stomach and may be used to accelerate gastric emptying and to increase the expression of FGF19 in a subject, and accordingly, may be used to treat and/or prevent nausea or vomiting, acid reflux, indigestion and gestational diabetes in a pregnant subject e.g. a pregnant cat, dog or human.
  • a maternal composition in accordance with the invention comprising, with respect to the total fatty acid concentration, less than 5 wt% of medium chain fatty acids, may be particularly effective.
  • a maternal composition in accordance with the invention comprising long chain fatty acids selected from the groups consisting of; myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, alpha-linoleic acid, arachidic acid, eicosenoic acid, and combinations thereof.
  • each type of long chain and/or medium chain fatty acid comprised in a maternal composition of the invention is mainly e.g. at least 98%, 99%, or 99.5%, in the form of triglycerides.
  • Palmitic acid in particular in the sn 1 or 3 triglyceride form, is known to cause and/or exacerbate constipation. Accordingly, a maternal composition of the invention having a low palmitic acid concentration, in particular in the sn 1 or 3 triglyceride form, of no more than 14%, more particularly no more than 7%, or those that are free from palmitic acid, in particular in the sn 1 or 3 triglyceride form, may also be used to treat or prevent constipation.
  • a maternal composition in accordance with the invention may be particularly effective at treating or preventing nausea or vomiting, acid reflux, indigestion, gestational diabetes, and/or constipation in a pregnant subject if used in conjunction or combination with ingredients known to be useful in the treatment or prevention of these conditions e.g. Vitamin B6 ginger or extracts thereof.
  • a maternal composition in accordance with the invention may be administered enterally to a pregnant subject before and/or during pregnancy and/or during lactation, administration may be at any time of the day or night and may be before eating.
  • a maternal composition in accordance with the invention may be administered in the form of a fat blend e.g. an encapsulated fat blend or alternatively it may be administered in the form of a powdered nutritional composition to be reconstituted in for example milk, juice or water, a food product, a drink, a nutritional supplement such as a powdered nutritional supplement to be sprinkled on food or mixed in an aqueous medium for example milk, juice or water, or a nutraceutical.
  • nausea or vomiting, acid reflux, indigestion and gestational diabetes are associated with a variety of conditions affecting a pregnant subject and/or their offspring e.g. dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, likelihood of having a small for gestational age baby, venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism and preeclampsia macrosomia, birth injury to the mother or infant, shoulder dystocia, premature delivery, and caesarian delivery (hereinafter C- section) developing type II diabetes immediately after pregnancy and later in life for the mother, infants developing an impaired glucose tolerance and/or suffering from excess weight/adiposity and associated metabolic disorders e.g.
  • composition of the invention may also be used to treat or prevent these associated conditions in said pregnant subject or their offspring.
  • Figure 1 shows an overview of the study described in Example 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows the results for measurements of gastric emptying.
  • Figure 3 shows the results for measurements of FGF 19 in blood samples taken during experiment described in Example 1.
  • Figure 4 shows the results for measurement of bile acids in blood samples taken during experiment described in Example 1.
  • a maternal composition comprising, with respect to the total fatty acid concentration, more than 50% of long chain fatty acids and 50% or less of medium chain fatty acids, is emptied rapidly from the stomach and may be used to accelerate the gastric emptying rate.
  • a composition is considered to be rapidly emptied from the stomach if 50% of the consumed composition is emptied within 350 to 550mins, more particularly 400 to 500mins.
  • T50meas The time when half of a composition is emptied from the stomach is referred to as T50meas.
  • the gastric emptying time of a composition can be measured by methods well known to the skilled person. One such method is laid out herein in example 1.
  • a further advantage of maternal compositions in accordance with the invention is that they were also found to increase the secretion of bile acid and the expression of FGF-19.
  • FGF-19 is an intestinal hormone that can exert beneficial effects on glucose metabolism by increasing insulin sensitivity and inducing glycogen synthesis. Circulating levels of FGF-19 have been found to be reduced in pregnant subjects suffering from Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (hereinafter GDM) and to be inversely correlated with insulin resistance in this population (Wang, 2013). Increasing circulating levels of FGF19 has been proven a useful mean to prevent and to treat insulin intolerance and type 2 diabetes (Shaap et al, 2012) A composition that increases circulating FGF-19 levels may therefore be used to treat or prevent GDM or a condition associated therewith in a pregnant subject and/or its offspring.
  • GDM Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
  • a maternal composition comprising, with respect to the total fatty acid concentration, 50 wt% or more of long chain fatty acids and less than 50 wt% of medium chain fatty acids, for use to treat or prevent acid reflux, nausea or vomiting, indigestion, and/or gestational diabetes mellitus, and/or a condition associated with any of the foregoing in a pregnant subject and/or its offspring.

  • nausea or vomiting may lead to a reduction in maternal weight gain throughout pregnancy, which may result in suboptimal fetal outcomes.
  • women who suffer from extreme nausea and vomiting (such as HG) can be at higher risk of having small for gestational age babies and premature births.
  • Nausea or vomiting, in particular HG is also known to be a risk factor for venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism and preeclampsia.

  • FGF-19 fibroblast growth factor 19
  • Intestinal FGF19 can exert beneficial effects on glucose metabolism, by increasing insulin sensitivity and inducing glycogen synthesis. This hormone can also promote protein synthesis, and lead to growth of lean body mass
  • FGF19 was measured by ELISA using commercial kit from R&D Systems.
  • Meals 2 and 5 displayed no phase separation.
  • Meals 3 and 4 displayed modest creaming, which was due to fat particle aggregation. Such separation in the stomach will be relatively minor and have only a modest effect on gastric emptying. No effect on gastric empting is anticipated for Meals 2, 4, 5.
