The use of fatty acid supplements has proved to be beneficial in the treatment of several pathogenic  conditions, such as chronic inflammatory diseases, atopy, chronic renal insufficiency, and some types of cancer. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to the type and quantity of fat sources that are used when diets for dogs and cats are formulated, in order to assure the optimal amount and balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the food.

脂肪酸補充劑的使用已被證明有利於治療多種病原性疾病,例如:慢性發炎性疾病、皮膚炎、慢性腎功能不全和某些類型的癌症。因此,在製定狗和貓的飲食時,應特別注意脂肪來源的類型和數量,以確保食物中的 Omega-3 和 Omega-6 脂肪酸達到最佳含量及均衡比例。

Oral Administration of β-1,3/1,6-Glucan to Dogs Temporally Changes Total and Antigen-Specific IgA and IgM

口服β-1,3/1,6-Glucan短暫改變犬隻總體和抗原特異性IgA和IgM

This study is the first to evaluate the adjuvant effect of orally administered β-1,3/1,6-glucans in healthy dogs on the total IgM, IgA, and IgG concentrations in serum; the IgA concentrations in tears and saliva; and the isotype-specific antibody response against Bordetella. There seems to be a temporary decrease in the switch from IgM toward IgA due to oral MacroGard supplementation in dogs, so that serum and mucosal IgA levels decrease. The same effect on a systemically induced serum antibody response against a Bordetella vaccine was seen.

此研究首次評估了健康犬隻口服β-1,3/1,6-Glucan對血清中總體IgM、IgA和IgG濃度的佐劑作用、眼淚和唾液中IgA濃度及針對博德氏菌的同種型特異性抗體反應。犬隻服用MacroGard補充劑,從IgM向IgA的轉變似乎出現短暫減少,血清和黏膜IgA水平因此降低。相同效果亦出現於針對博德氏菌疫苗的全身性誘導血清抗體反應。

Oat beta-glucan as a dietary supplement for dogs

燕麥β-葡聚醣作為犬隻膳食補充品

It is concluded that oat beta-glucan extract can be used as a dietary supplement for dogs at a dose of 10 g/kg of food, being effective in reducing blood concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL-c and VLDL-c as well as CTTAD of nutrients. These results demonstrate the potential of using this type of beta-glucan in the diet of obese animals. In addition, by reducing the predominance of a Th2 response, oat beta-glucan can positively modulate the vaccine response of animals.

所得結論是,燕麥β-葡聚醣萃取物可以用作犬隻膳食補充品,劑量為每10kg食物使用10g,可有效降低總膽固醇在血液中的濃度、LDL-c、VLDL-c以及CTTAD的營養素,這些結果證明在肥胖動物中可以使用此類β-葡聚醣的潛力。此外,透過降低Th2細胞反應的主導性,燕麥β-葡聚醣可以正面調整動物的疫苗反應。

Acute Post-Prandial Cognitive Effects of Brown Seaweed Extract in Humans

褐海藻提取物對人類餐後急性認知的效用

After a large carbohydrate-heavy lunch, half of the volunteers were given the supplement and the other half were given a placebo. Compared with their results on a pre-lunch cognitive test, the group receiving the supplement performed better at the cognitive tasks than the placebo group.

These findings are likely explained by the fact that components in brown seaweeds inhibit the key enzymes involved in the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates, allowing for the steady blood sugar levels that allow the brain to function consistently well. Researchers call for future research to examine the effects on cognition in parallel with blood glucose and insulin responses.

在進食一頓含豐富碳水化合物的午餐後,半數志願者服用補充劑,另一半服用安慰劑。與他們在午餐前進行的認知測試結果相比,接受補充劑的組別在認知任務上的表現勝過安慰劑組。這些結果的出現,很可能是因為褐海藻裡的成分抑制了參與碳水化合物分解和吸收的主要酵素,從而使血糖水平保持穩定,令大腦持續運作良好。
