There are special situations in which the body, to meet its requirements, requires an extra amount of Nucleic Acids or Nucleotides. Usually, it comes to metabolic stress conditions which require the administration of external origin elements, with considerable acceleration of recovery.

Premessa

I Nucleotidi sono elementi intracellulari, che svolgono un ruolo chiave nella quasi totalità dei processi biochimici; essi rappresentano gli elementi precursori del DNA e dell’ RNA, e sono composti da uno zucchero ed una base, associati a un certo numero di gruppi fosfato (da uno a tre).
I Nucleotidi sono naturalmente presenti in tutti i cibi, sia di natura animale sia vegetale, sotto forma di acidi nucleici o nucleotidi liberi; in particolare i Nucleotidi solubili, presenti nel latte di molti mammiferi, costituiscono un’importante fonte alimentare, in grado di fornire fino al 20% dell’azoto non proteico.

FIV infection may remain subclinical for long periods, so without causing any symptoms, but leads to the development of clinical manifestations such as, generalized lymphadenopathy, diarrhea, anorexia, fever, weight loss, chronic infections, neurological disorders and cancers.

Recent studies have now confirmed as immunology and nutrition are closely related. Many substances such as arginine, glutamine, zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids and nucleotides improve the cellular immunity, modulate the metabolism of cancer cells and promote clinical recovery.

Summary by the scientific editors NBF-Lanes

The hypothesis of the authors is that if the higher omega-6 and omega-3 PUFAs are administered before the inflammatory response it triggers, then anti-inflammatory or less inflammatory eicosanoids are produced with lower anti-inflammatory power of those that would be produced without the supplementation.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS THE EVALUATION OF THE ORAL SUPPLEMENTATION OF BLACK CURRANT OIL (BSO) (100 MG / KG / DAY), PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, FOR THE PREVENTION OF RECURRENCE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF ATOPIC SEASONAL DERMATITIS IN DOGS.

IN THE 7 TREATED ANIMALS ITCHING AND LESIONS WERE LOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR IN ALL SUBJECTS, WHILE IN THE CONTROL GROUP LESIONS WERE LOWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS ONLY IN 3/7 DOGS

We examined the relationship between plasma levels of PUFA and total change in creatinine clearance during three years of follow-up, in older people enrolled in “inCHIANTI” study, an epidemiological study based on the population and conducted in Tuscany, Italy.

This study has shown that older adults with low plasma levels of total PUFA have a greater decrease in creatinine clearance. These results suggest that increased dietary intake of PUFA may be protective against the progression to chronic kidney disease.

THIS RUNDOWN ON THE NEW FRONTIERS OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISORDERS, GIVEN THE MEDICAL EXTRACTION OF THE AUTHORS, FOCUSES ON WHAT HAPPENS IN THE HUMAN FIELD, BUT HAS INTERESTING PARALLELS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF DISTURBANCE DETECTED IN THE VETERINARY FIELD. THE AUTHORS MAKE CONTINUAL REFERENCES TO OUR SECTOR, FROM WHICH DRAWS ON ALL THE EXPERIMENTAL CASES.

Atopic dermatitis, as it is a chronic disease of genetic base, cannot be eliminated but managed by setting a nutritional therapy that can alleviate the symptoms and lesions, prevent secondary infections and increase the quality of life, both to the patient and his owner.

BASED ON THE RESULTS OF CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR STUDIES, THE CARDIOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS OMEGA 3 DOES NOT SEEM ATTRIBUTABLE TO A SINGLE SYSTEM, BUT TO A TRUE INTEGRATED ACTION WHICH, IN ADDITION TO THE “SIMPLE” GOOD FUNCTIONING OF THE HEART PUMP, EXTENDS TO THE INTEGRITY OF VASCULAR COMPONENT AND THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE PRECIOUS FLUID THAT FLOWS.
