Provided herein are edible compositions for reducing semen viscosity and/or enhancing semen flavor, and methods of using and preparing such compositions.

The present invention relates to a composition, particularly a composition comprising digestive enzymes and appetite suppressant. The composition can be used for reducing appetite, inducing weight loss and/or promote food digestion in a subject in need thereof.

Disclosed are specific aphid dsRNA constructs that target either Chloride Intracellular Channel (CLIC) gene expression or Sucrase gene expression. Also disclosed is the use of dsRNA constructs of a CLIC gene to interfere with critical functions of CLIC gene peptide products. A novel method to develop nucleic acid control for pest management is also disclosed. Also disclosed is the use of dsRNA constructs to interfere with critical functions of Sucrase gene peptide products.

The present invention is directed to recombinant thraustochytrids that grow on sucrose and cell cultures comprising the recombinant thraustochytrids as well as methods of producing cell cultures, biomasses, microbial oils, compositions, and biofuels using the recombinant thraustochytrids.

An immune cell that is genetically engineered to express an exogenous alternative carbon source (ACS) metabolism gene, in which the ACS is not glucose and wherein the ability of the immune cell to metabolise the ACS is increased due to expression of the exogenous ACS metabolism gene. Also provided are polynucleotides, vectors, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of genetically engineering the immune cell and methods of use in therapy.

Disclosed are recombinant mutant isomaltase enzymes, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising an isomaltase enzyme, e.g., a recombinant mutant isomaltase enzyme, and an optional invertase enzyme. The enzymes and compositions can be used, among other things, to treat congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID).
