Efectos del aceite de Pescado rico en Omega 3 en la dieta de Perros y Gatos

Dear colleagues,

The inclusion of fish oil rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, and DHA has been shown to be an effective treatment for inflammatory disorders in dogs such as atopy and certain kidney disorders, as well as for cardiovascular problems, hyperlipidemia, and osteoarthritis.

One of the mechanisms of action is related to the competitive exclusion of long-chain omega-6 fatty acids by the COA and LOX enzymes, producing cytokines with less inflammatory power.

In addition to its use for the aforementioned disorders, significant advances are being made in the role of omega-3s in IBD and cognitive function.
