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.

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.

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.

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.

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 many body functions, have been the subject of great attention both from doctors, researchers, and the general public.
In fact the use of the EFA in medicine dates back to the ’30s, when they were used for the first time in the treatment of infant atopic eczema (1).
Despite their use were promising, they were quickly ignored with the advent of the topical corticosteroids.
Sinclair suggested that Western affluent populations, feeding diets with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids EFA, went to meet him to a decrease in the composition in EFA of their body such as to prevent the structural and physiological functions related to these fatty acids. Sinclair hypothesis, at that time considered ridiculous and without fundaments, in light of subsequent research has proved to be fundamentally correct (3.4).
