To Treat Canine Arthritis, A Possible Solution

A
ccording to recent estimates, up to 20% of adult dogs suffer from arthritis. The researchers were able to identify the gene for canine arthritis and can now offer a treatment which contains a new formula based on nutrigenomics.

Champ knowledge relatively young, nutrigenomics can treat, by diet, the conditions - such as arthritis - for which there are genetic predispositions. It arrives in establishing a link between nutrition and DNA.

The decoding of the genome of the dog has important implications for the health of both humans and dogs, since the two genomes are very similar.

Treatments healers applied to one of the genomes can be transferred and used to develop treatments that will agree to another.

Using this technology, we created a new food for dogs available on prescription and contains natural fish oils. The food on prescription Canine j / d Hill helps relieve dogs whose joints lose their mobility.

Professor John Innes, the Small Animal Hospital of the University of Liverpool, explains how, through nutrigenomics, doctors and veterinarians can treat human and animal diseases by diet.

"A nutrient inhibits an enzyme Key abyss that the surface of the joint. If we can influence this process we can restore mobility and health of the joint.

And this enzyme, the EPA is, according to Professor Innes, primarily in fish oils, fats, such as mackerel and sardines. The food on prescription Canine j / d Hill contains high levels of EPA.

Professor Innes is available for a briefing on nutrigenomics. He explains how doctors and veterinarians can use this science to treat, by diet, human and animal diseases.

It was suggested that in the future, we will perhaps all consume, in the form of pellets, food for dogs that will contain all the nutrients we be able to avoid or modify disease which, by our genetic predispositions, we are exposed.
