  • the compositions and methods of the present invention can be used in young companion animals such as kittens or puppies from birth up to about one year of age.
  • a dietary antioxidant, or precursor thereof can be defined as “a substance in foods that significantly decreases the adverse effects of reactive species, such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, on normal physiological function in humans”. ( Dietary Reference Intakes of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, and Carotenoids , Food and Nutrition Board Institute of Medicine, National Academy Press, Washington, D.C., April, 2000, p. 42, said reference being incorporated in its entirety by reference).
  • antioxidants can be found in nature and many of such antioxidants are sulfur-containing antioxidants.
  • the sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine is believed to possess free-radical scavenging activity by virtue of its containing a sulfur which is oxidizable, as well as its having chelating ability.
  • Methionine can also serve as precursor of other antioxidant compounds such as, for example, cysteine.
  • the sulfur-containing amino acid, cysteine also contains an oxidizable sulfur and this amino acid can serve as a precursor of the antioxidant glutathione.
  • the sulfonic amino acid, taurine is believed to act as an antioxidant by reacting with excess hypochlorite produced in the process of phagocytosis to form N-chlorotaurine.
  • sulfur containing antioxidants include sulfur-containing amino acids including cysteine, methionine, taurine, glutathione, s-adenosyl methionine, n-acetyl cysteine, cystathionine, cysteic acid, cysteine sulfinic acid, cystine, methionine sulfone, methionine sulfoxide, betaine, methyl hydroxy analog of methionine, sulfur containing amino acids in addition to those listed above, methyl esters of amino acids such as methionine methyl ester, and the like including other sulfur-containing substance exhibiting the properties described above.
  • the sulfur-containing antioxidants or sulfur-containing amino acids of the present invention can be naturally occurring or synthetic substances.
  • the sulfur-containing antioxidants include antioxidants other than lipoic acid.
  • Total sulfur-containing antioxidants can be supplied to dogs and cats as sulfur-containing amino acids such as, for example, methionine, cysteine and cystine, betaine, and methyl hydroxy analog of methionine. These amino acids and other amino acids can be provided in the pure form as d- and l-isomers, or can be provided by ingredients rich in sulfur-containing amino acids such as poultry by-product meal, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, and the like. Table 1 provided indicates acceptable levels of methionine, cysteine, and Total Sulfur-containing Amino Acids (TSAA), i.e. the total of the concentrations of methionine and cysteine. TABLE 1 Canine Feline Met 0.3-0.6% 0.8-1.5% Cys 0.15-0.4% 0.2-0.7% TSAA 0.45-1% 1-2.2%
  • the present invention provides a food composition having increased levels of sulfur-containing antioxidants such as the amino acid methionine, for use in mammals, especially companion animals, and particularly for use in dogs or cats.
  • sulfur-containing amino acids such as the amino acid methionine
  • the addition of sulfur-containing amino acids to a feline or canine food can increase the levels of antioxidants in the body, and can provide enhanced growth in young animals, improved longevity in adult animals, and assist in managing age-related problems in older animals.
  • wt % as employed throughout the specification and claims refers to wt % calculated on a dry matter basis.
  • compositions and methods are particularly useful wherein the oxidative status of the companion animal can benefit from increased levels of antioxidants, such as young animals in the growth stage, mature animals in need of antioxidants as a preventative for development of disease states related to oxidative stress, and in aging animals already demonstrating health issues related to oxidative stress, such as decreased cognitive abilities.
  • antioxidants such as young animals in the growth stage, mature animals in need of antioxidants as a preventative for development of disease states related to oxidative stress, and in aging animals already demonstrating health issues related to oxidative stress, such as decreased cognitive abilities.
  • the base food composition containing these additional sulfur-containing amino acids may be any nutritionally complete diet typically employed with companion animals, and will be suitable for the animal's dietary needs. Additional nutrients where appropriate, including nutraceutical compounds that provide health benefits, may be added.
  • Canned or dry food may be employed.
  • Wet cat or dog food generally has a moisture content greater than about 65%.
  • Semi-moist cat or dog food typically has a moisture content between about 20% and about 65% and may include humectants, potassium sorbate, and other ingredients to prevent microbial growth (bacteria and mold).
  • Dry cat or dog food (kibble) generally has a moisture content below about 10% and its processing typically includes extruding, drying and/or baking in heat.
  • Levels of sulfur-containing amino acids may be measured by suitable means known in the art. The maximum levels of total sulfur-containing amino acids, levels of methionine, and levels of cysteine may be added to the feed up to the toxic levels of said amino acids. Toxic levels of the sulfur-containing amino acids may be defined as levels of the amino acids that result in an overall imbalance of the levels of the other amino acids present. Toxic levels of the sulfur-containing amino acids for dogs and cats are further known in the art. As an example, methionine levels in cat foods are not allowed to exceed 1.5 wt % by the American Association of Feed Controllers.
  • Sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine, cysteine, and mixtures thereof, provided in the present food composition are from about 0.15 to about 2.2 wt %.
  • Suitable representative minimum sulfur-containing amino acids concentrations include about 0.15, about 0.2, about 0.3, about 0.45, about 0.8, about 1, about 1.2, and about 1.4 wt %.
  • Suitable representative maximum sulfur-containing amino acids concentrations include about 0.5, about 0.7, about 1, about 1.5, and about 2.2 wt %.
  • Preferred for the present invention are sulfur-containing amino acid concentrations of from about 0.15 to about 1.5 wt %.
  • sulfur-containing amino acid concentrations of from about 0.3 to about 1 wt %.
  • Particularly preferred for the practice of the present invention are sulfur-containing amino acid concentrations of from about 0.3 to about 0.6 wt %.
  • Methionine can be present in the diet compositions of the present invention at a concentration of at least about 0.15%, at least about 0.3 wt. %, at least about 0.4 wt. %, at least about 0.6 wt. %, at least about 0.8 wt. %, at least about 0.9% wt. %, at least about 1 wt. %, at least about 1.1 wt. % up to about 1.5% or greater.
  • Cysteine can be present in the diet compositions of the present invention at concentrations of at least about 0.15 wt. %, at least about 0.2 wt. %, at least about 0.3 wt. %, at least about 0.4 wt.
  • the combination of methionine and cysteine can also be present at a total concentration of sulfur amino acids of at least about at least about 0.3 wt. %, at least about 0.45 wt. %, at least about 0.6 wt. %, at least about 0.8 wt. %, at least about 1.0 wt. %, at least about 1.2 wt. %, at least about 1.4 wt. %, at least about 1.5 wt. %, at least about 1.6 wt. %, up to about 2.2 wt. %.
  • the term “food” when used, this can refer not only to a food product which typically provides most, if not all, the nutrient value for a companion animal, but may also refer to such items as a snack, treat, supplement, and the like.
  • the food composition may be provided to any mammal, particularly a companion animal, such as a dog or cat, which is in need of improved levels of antioxidants, thus resulting in improved growth rate, or in assistance with health issues that may result from aging.
  • This example illustrates the effect of a food composition having increased amounts of methionine on growth performance in kittens.
  • Methionine was fed to growing kittens at three levels (0.77, 1.14, and 1.50%) to determine the effect of methionine on growth performance and antioxidant activity. Kittens were fed meat based, canned diets for 10 weeks post-weaning. Weekly weight gain was increased (Table 2) in cats fed 1.14 wt % and 1.50 wt % dietary methionine compared to cats fed 0.77 wt % dietary methionine. The greater weekly growth rate resulted in heavier kittens at the end of the 10-week growth trial. The data demonstrate a greater methionine requirement for growth in young kittens than current NRC (1986) estimates. Thus, methionine was a limiting nutrient for growth in meat based canned diets.
  • the data illustrate a link between dietary methionine and blood ORAC and vitamin E concentrations for kittens immediately following weaning.
  • the increase in serum antioxidant levels (vitamin E) and free radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) in kittens fed greater dietary methionine suggests a positive relationship between dietary methionine and blood antioxidant activity.
  • the response to dietary methionine was greater during the first five weeks of the trial, which were more stressful than the final five weeks of the trial.
