The Broad Institute, Inc., 2023
Using genetically-engineered microbes and their byproducts to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of high cholesterol and associated diseases. The microbes are engineered to express enzymes called cholesterol oxidoreductases that metabolize cholesterol into coprostanol, a less absorbable form. The microbes can be delivered as probiotics or coprostanol and related compounds can be administered to reduce serum cholesterol levels.
Shanghai University, 2022
Using Faecalibacterium prausnitzii bacteria as a medicine to treat pathological ventricular remodeling and heart failure following a heart attack.
GENMONT BIOTECH INCORPORATION, 2020
Probiotic compositions containing specific strains of Lactobacillus bacteria (L. reuteri GMNL-89 and L. paracasei GMNL-133) for preventing stroke and mitigating the severity of stroke. The probiotics are taken as a dietary supplement to regulate intestinal microbiota, enhance intestinal barrier function, and reduce inflammatory responses to prevent ischemic stroke.
John Charles Davidson, 2023
A natural composition to support cardiovascular health by contributing to healthy serum cholesterol levels, reducing CRP and IL-6 cytokine levels, and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. The composition includes probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum or Lactobacillus reuteri), cholesterol-lowering plant sterols, and Ashwagandha root powder.
Jiangnan University, 2023
Using Bifidobacterium longum strain CCFM752 to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension. The strain has been found to significantly reduce blood pressure in hypertensive rats and decrease the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that contribute to hypertension.
NOSTER INC., 2023
A combination of Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides dorei bacteria species, that can control LPS production by enteric bacteria and transfer thereof into the blood. This can reduce intestinal LPS levels, strengthen tight junctions in the intestinal barrier to reduce blood LPS levels, and suppress inflammatory responses and immune responses in intestines, blood vessels, and organs by co-existing in the intestines. It can provide a new way to prevent and improve circulatory diseases, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic diseases through ingestion of these bacteria.
JIANGNAN UNIVERSITY, 2023
A method for making fermented rice and flour food like steamed cake that is heated to cook in a microwave. The method involves fermenting the batter with sourdough before microwaving. The fermentation process modifies the dielectric properties of the batter to improve the microwave heating and quality of the final product. The fermentation is done to specific conditions to adjust the dielectric constant, loss factor, moisture content, and water activity.
Fatah Bashir Ahtesh, 2023
Producing antihypertensive peptide compositions from milk using fermentation to hydrolyze peptides. The process involves fermenting milk with Lactobacillus helveticus and a peptidase to partially hydrolyze the peptides, then heat-treating to inactivate the bacteria and peptidase. This creates a fermented milk product containing hydrolyzed peptides with high antihypertensive activity.
Shanghai University, 2023
Use of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a bacteria commonly found in the intestines of mammals, in preparing a medicine for treating pathological ventricular remodeling and/or heart failure following myocardial infarction. The bacteria can improve cardiac function, reduce fibrosis, and inhibit hypertrophy after infarction.
Arman Zhenisovich Lurye, 2023
Preventative treatment to mitigate negative health effects of air travel on the body. The treatment involves consuming specific substances before and during flights to counteract issues like dehydration, blood thickening, gas expansion, and bacterial overgrowth. The substances include oral rehydration solutions, anticoagulants, probiotics, simethicone (for gas), and domperidone (for motility).
SOCIETE DES PRODUITS NESTLE S.A., 2023
Diagnosing early stage degenerative mitral valve disease in a canine by measuring the normalized relative abundance of specific gut bacteria genera: Erysipelatoclostridium, Ruminococcaceae UCG014, Butyricicoccus, and Faecalibacterium. If Erysipelatoclostridium is 0-0.5, Ruminococcaceae UCG014 is 0-0.1, Butyricicoccus is 0-0.1, or Faecalibacterium is 0-0.1, it indicates early stage DMVD. Administering targeted probiotics like Butyricicoccus or Faecalibacterium to treat or slow progression of DMVD in canines.
Eligo Bioscience, 2023
Reducing or eliminating specific bacteria from the gut microbiome to prevent or treat myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. The targeted bacteria are Bacteroides, specifically strains that produce mimic peptides of heart muscle proteins. The method involves using antibiotics, bacteriocins, phages, engineered bacteria or other means to selectively kill or reduce the growth of these Bacteroides in the gut. This reduces the risk of autoimmune heart damage by preventing cross-reactive T cells from being activated by the mimic peptides.
Sweet Wellness AB, 2023
A multi-nutrient composition for treating and preventing oxidative stress conditions like cardiovascular disease. The composition includes vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, probiotics, and other components.
MEIJI CO., LTD., 2023
Composition containing lactic acid bacteria that can reduce heart rate when ingested. The lactic acid bacteria are generally from the Lactobacillus genus, and have specific activities like lowering IL-6 levels and boosting IL-10 production.
Monsanto Technology LLC, 2022
Reducing corn-on-corn yield penalty in agricultural production. The method involves applying an inoculant containing Penicillium bilaii to corn seeds and/or fields before planting consecutive seasons of corn. The inoculant reduces the yield decrease that usually occurs when planting corn after corn.
Genome and Company, 2022
A novel strain of Lactobacillus fermentum, LM1016, that can treat or prevent cardiovascular diseases, obesity, fatty liver and diabetes. The strain was found to reduce levels of C-reactive protein, cholesterol, neutral fat, blood sugar, and insulin while inhibiting weight gain and fatty liver development. Administering LM1016 can prevent or treat these chronic conditions.
Probiotix Health Limited, 2022
Probiotic composition for hypertension treatment using Lactobacillus plantarum 2830 strain that effectively lower and control blood pressure, especially in people with mild hypercholesterolemia. The Lactobacillus plantarum 2830 strain can be used in medicaments or food supplements to prevent and treat hypertension.
McPharma Biotech Inc., 2022
Using microbiome modulation to reduce LDL cholesterol in individuals with dyslipidemia or at risk of developing it. The method involves administering a microbiome treatment like prebiotics, probiotics, or antibiotics to alter gut bacteria levels. The efficacy is determined by monitoring Parasutterella bacterial levels in response, since increases correlate with LDL reduction.
SAMI LABS LIMITED, 2022
The method of reducing the cholesterol content in food stuff by probiotic bacteria Bacillus coagulans, said method comprising step of bringing into contact the prebiotic bacteria, together with bile salts and bile acids, with foods rich in cholesterol, to bring about the reduction and assimilation of cholesterol from the food stuff by the probiotic bacteria. In a related embodiment, the Bacillus coagulans strain is Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856. In another related embodiment, foods rich in cholesterol is selected from the group consisting of, but not limited to, chicken liver, egg yolk, fish and fish oils, fast foods, animal fats and oil, seafood, processed meat, red meat, cheese, milk fat, butter and confectioneries.
