Abstract
Diagnosing an oxidative stress (OS) in companion animals comprises screening a bodily fluid sample to detect the presence of an OS biomarker, selectively isoprostane and antioxidants, HODE, microRNAs, TAC, GSH, MDA, and TNF-alpha. The sample can be saliva.
Claims18
A method for diagnosing and treating oxidative stress (OS) in a dog comprising the steps of screening a saliva sample of a dog to detect a level of at least an isoprostane OS biomarker;
- detecting the presence of the isoprostane biomarker based on a quantitative level of the isoprostane OS biomarker, and diagnosing OS in the dog based on an increased quantitative level of the OS isoprostane biomarker, and treating a diagnosed level above 1.75 ng/ml of the isoprostane OS biomarker with nutritional supplements for about six months to lower the level below 1.75 ng/ml.
A method for diagnosing and treating oxidative stress (OS) in a dog comprising the steps of screening a saliva sample of of a dog to detect a level of an isoprostane and a HODE derived from peroxidation of linoleic acid, detecting the presence of OS based on the quantitative level, diagnosing the oxidative stress in the dog based on an increased quantitative level of the isoprostane and the HODE OS biomarkers and treating a diagnosed level above 1.75 ng/ml of the isoprostane OS biomarker with nutritional supplements for about six months to lower the level below 1.75 ng/ml.
A method for diagnosing and treating oxidative stress (OS) in a dog comprising the steps of screening a saliva sample of a dog to detect of at least an HODE OS biomarker derived from peroxidation of linoleic acid, detecting the presence of OS based on the quantitative level of the HODE OS biomarker, diagnosing the oxidative stress in the dog based on an increased quantitative level of the HODE OS biomarker, and treating a diagnosed level above 0.31 ng/ml of the HODE OS biomarker with nutritional supplements to lower the level.
A method for diagnosing and treating oxidative stress (OS) in a dog comprising the steps of screening a saliva sample a dog to detect a level of at least an isoprostane OS biomarker;
- detecting the presence of the isoprostane OS biomarker based on a quantitative level of the isoprostane OS biomarker, and diagnosing OS in the dog based an increased quantitative level of the isoprostane OS biomarker, and treating an increased level of the isoprostane OS biomarker indicative of OS when diagnosed to be above 1.75 ng/ml indicative of OS with nutritional supplements including turmeric and green tea.
