Abstract

Methods and compositions using plants from the Irvingiaceae family to reduce body weight in a mammal. Methods and compositions using the Irvingia gabonensis plant to reduce lipid levels, BMI and body weight, blood pressure, triglyceride levels, total amount of fat stored in the body, cholesterol levels, salivary and pancreatic alpha-amylase activity and pancreatic lipase activity, LDL cholesterol, to increase HDL cholesterol, to control blood glucose and to prevent or reduce the effects of insulin resistance, diabetes, and heart disease.

Claims

1. A method for reducing weight in a mammal comprising:

administering a composition containing an effective amount of glutelins obtained from Irvingia gabonensis to a mammal to reduce weight in the mammal.

2. A method of claim 1, further comprising stating that the composition reduces weight in a mammal.

3. A method of claim 1, wherein reducing weight in a mammal includes reducing fat in a mammal.

4. A method of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins is from 1 g to 10 g to the mammal daily.

5. A method of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins is from 2 g to 5 g to the mammal daily.

6. A method of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins is from 10 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal to 50 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal daily.

7. A method of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins is obtained from defatted and ground up Irvingia gabonensis.

8. A method of claim 1, wherein the glutelins is obtained from Irvingia gabonensis seeds.

9. A method for reducing weight in a mammal comprising:

administering a composition containing an effective amount of glutelins and globulins obtained from Irvingia gabonensis to a mammal to reduce weight in the mammal.

10. A method of claim 9, wherein reducing weight in a mammal includes reducing fat in a mammal.

11. A method of claim 9, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins and globulins is from 1 g to 10 g to the mammal daily.

12. A method of claim 9, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins and globulins is from 10 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal to 50 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal daily.

13. A method of claim 9, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins and globulins is from 15 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal to 35 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal daily.

14. A method of claim 9, wherein the Irvingia gabonensis is defatted.

15. A method for reducing weight in a mammal comprising:

administering a composition containing an effective amount of glutelins, globulins and albumins obtained from Irvingia gabonensis to a mammal to reduce weight in the mammal.

16. A method of claim 15, wherein reducing weight in a mammal includes reducing fat in a mammal.

17. A method of claim 15, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins, globulins and albumins is from 1 g to 10 g to the mammal daily.

18. A method of claim 15, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins, globulins and albumins is from 10 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal to 50 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal daily.

19. A method of claim 15, wherein the effective amount of the glutelins, globulins and albumins is from 15 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal to 35 mg/kg of body weight of the mammal daily.

20. A method of claim 15, further comprising stating that the composition reduces weight in a mammal.
