Vet Med Today: Timely Topics in Nutrition 1441 D fish oil treatment in humans has been traced back to 1783 when it was described as a treatment for rheumatism in the London Medical Journal. However, additional published information did not appear until 1914, when August Krogh and his wife visited Greenland Eskimos and studied their dietary habits. Subsequently, Heinbecker also studied the metabolism of Eskimos and referred to the work of the Kroghs’, indicating that Eskimos eat almost only…

It is remarkable that moderate increased vitamin D supplementation decreases the detrimental influence of excess vitamin A on liver fibrosis, but not on the skeleton, possibly due to the anti-fibrotic effect of moderate vitamin D.

Three different n-3 PUFA formulations were used: soft chew tablet (CCx); liquid fish oil (LFO); and enriched kibbles (EK) and the effect of matrix on bioavailability is important for product development as well as for clinical trials studying effects of EPA and DHA.

Safety of AOCED at levels up to 3.0% in the diet was demonstrated in cats with administration starting in utero and until kittens reached 32 weeks of age, and bioavailability of EPA and DHA in cats supports use of A OCED as a source of EPAand DHA for feline growth and reproduction.

A placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study has demonstrated a clear benefit of high dose (n-3) fatty acids in the management of pruritic skin disease, and preliminary experimental evidence that specific dietary(n-6) fatty ratios are useful in the dietary management of inflammatory diseases.

It is demonstrated that canine heart failure is associated with cachexia, alterations in fatty acids, and reduced caloric intake, and reductions in IL-1 predicted survival, suggesting that anticytokine strategies may benefit patients with heart failure.

Alpha-linolenic acid, found in green leafy vegetables, flaxseed, rapeseed, and walnuts, desaturates and elongates in the human body to EPA and DHA and by itself may have beneficial effects in health and in the control of chronic diseases.

The rarity of ischemic heart disease in Greenland Eskimos may partly be explained by the antithrombotic effect of the long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid prevalent in diets rich in marine oils.

Early in renal insufficiency, before significant kidney damage, group FO had a lower serum cholesterol concentration and tended to have a lower urinary prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2 excretion than group C, while group SO had a higher mean glomerular capillary pressure and more glomersular enlargement, which could explain the beneficial effects of omega-3 PUFAs and the detrimental effects when administered on a long-term basis.
