Described herein is a positron emission tomography (PET) detector array that has a plurality of detector elements, with each detector element mounted on a resilient, rigid support surface. A detector element movement system is connected to each rigid support surface, so that each detector element can be moved independently. This allows for the relative position of the individual detectors to be changed during imaging so that the imaging window can be increased or decreased during imaging, thereby allowing for improved, better resolution imaging of smaller volumes if desired.

It is a composition comprising young barley grass, used for promoting salivary IgA secretion, maintaining or improving oral immune function, or mucosal immune function, or preventing or alleviating upper airway infection.

Multi-phase release compositions, methods of using the compositions, and methods for manufacturing the compositions are provided. Multi-phase release compositions include ingredients useful in sports nutrition including ingredients useful in muscle building, energy output and weight loss. Sports nutrition ingredients are designed for immediate and extended release dependent on the particular sport nutrition motivated use. One sports nutrition ingredient that can be utilized in either or both the immediate release phase or the extended release phase is phosphatidic acid.

The present disclosure relates to processes for producing antihypertensive peptide compositions from milk compositions. It also relates to peptide compositions producible by the processes, as well as dosage forms, food products, supplements, powdered milk formula and beverages containing the peptide compositions, and to therapeutic methods and uses of the peptide compositions.

The present invention is directed to a method of replacing collagen broken down during physical activity using a novel dietary supplement. The supplement composition of the present invention comprises collagen, glutamine, taurine, and, optionally, the nine essential amino acids. The uptake of collagen is enhanced using this combination of components to levels substantially near the pre-workout levels.

Methods of making and resultant acidulent/carbohydrate agglomerates. The acidulent may be citric acid having particle sizes ranging from about 1 micron to 20 microns agglomerated with a soluble carbohydrate co-agglomerate to formulate the various acidulent/carbohydrate agglomerates. In certain embodiments, the carbohydrate co-agglomerate may be maltodextrin to formulate citric acid/maltodextrin agglomerates. These citric acid/maltodextrin agglomerates are shelf stable when dry, have improved flowability, compressibility, mixability; dissolve easily and quickly in water; and provide an easy ready-to-use formulation that is suitable for use in compounding various food and pharmaceutical products.
