Cellular cytochrome P450 epoxygenases metabolize various polyunsaturated fatty acids to epoxide-containing products. They metabolize the omega-6 fatty acids arachidonic acid, which possess four double bonds, to 8 different epoxide isomers which are termed epoxyeicosatrienoic acids or EETs and linoleic acid, which possess two double bonds, to 4 different epoxide isomers, i.e. two different 9,10 ...
CYPC2C9 is known and the other arachidonic acid-metabolizing CYPs are thought to likewise attack linoleic acid at its 9,10 carbon–carbon double bond to form 9S,10R-epoxy-12(Z)-octadecenoic and 9R,10S-epoxy-12(Z)-octadecenoic acid optical isomers; this set of optical isomers is also termed coronaric acid, linoleic acid 9,10-oxide, and leukotoxin.
Animal nutrition focuses on the dietary nutrients needs of animals, primarily those in agriculture and food production, but also in zoos, aquariums, and wildlife management. Constituents of diet [ edit ]
A senior cat diet is generally considered to be a diet for cats that are mature (7–10 years old), senior (11–15 years old), or geriatric (over 15 years old). [1] Nutritional considerations arise when choosing an appropriate diet for a healthy senior cat. [ 2 ]
The Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (PPNF) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established "to teach the public and professionals about foods, lifestyle habits, healing modalities, and environmental practices."
Lentigo in cats is a common dermatological condition characterized by the presence of small, flat, brownish spots on the skin — particularly around the lips, nose, and eyelid margins. Unlike in ...
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a Lentivirus that affects cats worldwide, with 2.5% to 4.4% [1] [2] of felines being infected.. FIV was first isolated in 1986, by Niels C Pedersen and Janet K. Yamamoto at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in a colony of cats that had a high prevalence of opportunistic infections and degenerative conditions and was originally called Feline T ...
Nutritional immunology is a field of immunology that focuses on studying the influence of nutrition on the immune system and its protective functions. Indeed, every organism will under nutrient-poor conditions "fight" for the precious micronutrients and conceal them from invading pathogens.
