Discover the importance of Lean Body Mass (LBM) in overall health for dogs and cats, and the role a high-protein diet can play in slowing LBM loss.

2008年8月1日 · Inadequate protein intake increases the rate of loss of LBM in aging dogs, while abundant protein reduces the loss. 9 There is growing recognition of the importance of this change in body composition.

Sarcopenia, defined as age-related loss of LBM (particularly muscle) in the absence of disease, is common in older cats and dogs. Loss of LBM also occurs during certain chronic diseases (e.g., congestive heart failure and chronic kidney disease), injury or sudden illness, which is …

Cachexia is the loss of lean body mass (LBM) that affects a large proportion of dogs and cats with congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer, and a variety of other chronic diseases. Sarcopenia, the loss of LBM that occurs with aging, is a related syndrome, although sarcopenia occurs in the absence of disease.

Discover the importance of Lean Body Mass (LBM) in overall health for dogs and cats, and the role a high-protein diet can play in slowing LBM loss. Protein is a key nutrient for dogs and cats and a source of amino acids, the 'building blocks' used to build new proteins in the body.

2023年1月3日 · The results of the study showed that the TWL diet completely prevented loss of lean body mass (LBM) in dogs compared with baseline. Dogs fed with the TWL diet had significantly lower fasting serum cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, leptin, mean postprandial glucose, and pro-inflammatory cytokines compared with dogs fed with the CTRL diet.

In dogs, SID of CP and AA differed ( ≤ 0.017) between diets and was generally lowest for the LBM diet, intermediate for the PM diet, and greatest for the FM diet. For CP, SID was 71.5, 80.2, and 87.0% for the LBM, PM, and FM diets, respectively.

A recent study in dogs showed a greater loss of body fat and a sparing of lean body mass in dogs fed a high-protein (47.5%), low-carbohydrate weight loss diet than those fed a lower-protein diet (23.8%) when energy intake was severely restricted . This current study was designed to examine the effects of feeding a low-carbohydrate/high-protein ...

2003年9月12日 · We measured body composition and resting metabolic rates (RMR) of three dog breeds (Papillons, mean body mass 3.0 kg (n = 35), Labrador retrievers, mean body mass 29.8 kg (n = 35) and Great Danes, mean body mass 62.8 kg (n = …
