NUCLEOTIDES: FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE INTESTINAL MUCOSA AND TO INCREASE THE IMMUNE RESPONSE IN CASE OF DIARRHEA

By the scientific direction of NBF – LANES with the advice of Dr. M. Cornelli 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 […]

ADVANTAGES OF ADMINISTRATION OF ZINC IN CATS AFFECTED BY IVF

Dr. Barbara Tonini (*) DVM, freelance, Milan 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.

IMMUNITY AND FEDING AN INDISSOLUBLE COMBINATION

Dr.Paola Persico 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.

EFFECTIVENESS OF SEED OIL ADMINISTRATION OF BLACK CURRANT IN THE PREVENTION OF ITCH AND SIGNS OF ATOPIC SEASONAL DERMATITIS

Chiara Noli, Mario Galzerano, Stefano Toma. From SUMMA Pets, n.9-2009, 21-27 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 […]

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID AND KIDNEY DISEASES IN THE ELDERLY

By the Scientific Writing of NBF-Lanes with the collaboration of Dr. Maurizio Cornelli 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 […]

NUTRITION AS SUPPORTING THERAPY IN THE PROCESS OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS

By the scientific direction of the NBF-Lanes with the advice of Dr. Fabrizio Fabbrini. 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 […]

CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA)

Scientific direction of NBF Lanes in cooperation with Prof. Sebastiano BANNI, University of Cagliari.  WHAT IS THE CLA THE CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA) IS A LONG-CHAIN FATTY ACID The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a long-chain fatty acid formed by a mixture of several isomers; two particularly active forms have been identified: cis-9, trans-11 and […]

THE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID IN DERMATOLOGY

In the ‘50s Hugh Sinclair suggested that many chronic diseases, particularly those in the Western civilization (cardiovascular, inflammatory and neoplastic), were to be correlated to a relative deficiency in essential fatty acids. The Sinclair hypothesis has proved to be fundamentally correct. In the last two decades the essential fatty acids (EFA), for their importance in […]

ZINC IN LEISHMANIASIS

Leishmaniosis is basically characterized by an anomaly antigen response to an altered immune system function. It therefore seems logical to assume that the use of such immune-stimulant substances, either alone or associated with traditional medication, can favorably influence the outcome of therapy. The results show that both types of Leishmaniae are sensitive to zinc sulphate. Notes on […]
