This disclosure relates to compositions suitable for a variety of treatments, including ameliorating the undesirable side effects associated with compounds such as lipase inhibitors (e.g., anal leakage of undigested fat or oil). In particular, one embodiment of the present invention relates to compositions that are suitable for administration to an animal for the purpose of stiffening one or more lipophilic substances present in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal. The stiffening agents have a complete melting point of about 33° C. or greater. Various kits comprising the compositions are also described herein.
Also disclosed are methods of stiffening lipophilic substances present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal are provided, wherein the methods comprise administering a composition comprising a safe and effective amount of a stiffening agent to the animal, wherein the stiffening agent is described herein and has a complete melting point of about 33° C. or greater. The methods also include those selected from treating gastrointestinal distress, treating fecal urgency, treating obesity, treating hyperlipidemia, treating diarrhea, inhibiting anal leakage, reducing levels of toxic substances, reducing blood cholesterol levels, inducing satiety, effecting weight loss, effecting weight control, treating Type II Diabetes, delaying onset of Type II Diabetes, preventing Type II Diabetes, and combinations thereof, the methods comprising administering a composition comprising a safe and effective amount of the stiffening agent to the animal, as well as a safe and effective amount of a lipase inhibitor.
本公开涉及适用于各种治疗的组合物,包括改善与脂肪酶抑制剂等化合物相关的不良副作用(如未消化脂肪或油的肛门渗漏)。特别是,本发明的一个实施方案涉及适用于动物的组合物,其目的是使动物胃肠道中的一种或多种亲脂物质变硬。硬化剂的完全熔点约为 33 摄氏度或更高。本文还描述了包含这些组合物的各种试剂盒。
还公开了使存在于动物胃肠道中的亲脂性物质变硬的方法,其中方法包括向动物施用包含安全有效量的变硬剂的组合物,其中变硬剂如本文所述,具有约33℃或更高的完全熔点。这些方法还包括选自治疗肠胃不适、治疗排便急迫症、治疗肥胖症、治疗高脂血症、治疗腹泻、抑制肛门渗漏、降低有毒物质水平、降低血液胆固醇水平、诱导饱腹感、减轻体重、控制体重、治疗 II 型糖尿病、延缓衰老、控制体重的方法、治疗 II 型糖尿病、延迟 II 型糖尿病的发病、预防 II 型糖尿病及其组合,这些方法包括向动物施用包含安全有效量的硬化剂以及安全有效量的脂肪酶抑制剂的组合物。
