Description

METHODS FOR DETERMINING IF AN ANIMAL'S METABOLISM IS KETOGENIC
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/725202 filed November 12, 2012, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this reference.
Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates generally to methods for determining the status of an animal's metabolism and particularly to methods for determining if an animal's metabolism is ketogenic.
Description of Related Art
[0003] The status of an animal's metabolism is often related to the animal's health. For example, a ketogenic diet is believed to be a valuable therapeutic approach for combating epilepsy and brain tumors. US20100310740A1 discloses ketogenic diets and methods for preparing such ketogenic diets. Similarly, ketogenic diets have been used to assist in the management of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Further, US8124589 discloses the use of ketogenic compounds for treatment of age-associated memory impairment. US7351736 discloses methods for producing a physiologically acceptable ketosis to treat a patient in need of therapy for one or more of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Free Radical disease, Heart failure and Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. US20120252902A discloses methods for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and related CNS disorder symptoms of impaired learning, impaired planning, impaired problem solving, impulsiveness attention deficit and aggression by administering a ketogenic material in amounts sufficient to produce a ketosis. US20080249173A1 discloses methods for treating a patient suffering from apoptosis of tissue by administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more ketogenic compounds such that a physiological ketosis is produced sufficient to arrest said apoptosis. These therapies are only beneficial if the animal has a ketogenic metabolism. Therefore, it is important to be able to determine if an animal has a ketogenic metabolism.
[0004] Current methods for determining if an animal's metabolism is ketogenic involve using urine strips to check for ketonuria, i.e., checking for ketone bodies such as acetone in the urine. However, the concentration of ketone bodies in the urine varies depending on the animal, the animal' age, the animal's health, the environment, and the like. Merely determining the concentration of ketone bodies for an animal and comparing the concentration to known standard values is often inconclusive and can lead to a misdiagnosis that has adverse consequences on an animal's health. There is, therefore, a need for new methods for determining if an animal's metabolism is ketogenic.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide methods for determining if an animal's metabolism is ketogenic.
[0006] It is another object of the present invention to provide methods for evaluating the affect of a comestible composition on the ketogenic status of an animal.
[0007] It is a further object of the invention to provide methods for evaluating the affect of a diet on the ketogenic status of an animal.
[0008] One or more of these and other objects are achieved using novel methods for determining if an animal's metabolism is ketogenic and/or evaluating the affect of a comestible composition or diet on the ketogenic status of an animal. These methods involve collecting a urine sample from the animal at two different times, determining the concentration of beta- hydroxy butyrate in the two urine samples, and making conclusions regarding the animal's ketogenic status and/or the affect of a comestible composition or diet on such status based upon the difference between the beta hydroxybutyrate concentrations for the two samples.
[0009] Other and further objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Definitions
[0010] The term "animal" means a human or other animal that could benefit from a determination of the animal's ketogenic status, including bovine, canine, equine, feline, hicrine, murine, ovine, and porcine animals.
The Invention
[0011] In one aspect, the invention provides methods for determining if an animal's metabolism is ketogenic. The methods comprise collecting a first urine sample from the animal when the animal's metabolism is not ketogenic; determining the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample; collecting a second urine sample from the animal when the animal's metabolism is possibly ketogenic; determining the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample; and concluding that the animal's metabolism is ketogenic if the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by ten percent (10%) or more.
[0012] In another aspect, the invention provides methods for evaluating the effect of a comestible composition on the ketogenic status of an animal. The methods comprise collecting a first urine sample from the animal before feeding the comestible composition to the animal; determining the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample; feeding the comestible composition to the animal; collecting a second urine sample from the animal after feeding the comestible composition to the animal; determining the concentration of beta- hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample; and concluding that the comestible composition caused the animal's metabolism to become ketogenic if the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by ten percent (10%) or more.
[0013] In another aspect, the invention provides methods for evaluating the effect of a diet on the ketogenic status of an animal. The methods comprise collecting a first urine sample from the animal before feeding the diet to the animal; determining the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample; feeding the diet to the animal; collecting a second urine sample from the animal while feeding the diet to the animal or after feeding the diet to the animal; determining the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample; and concluding that the diet caused the animal's metabolism to become ketogenic if the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by ten percent (10%) or more.
[0014] In various embodiments, the animal's metabolism is determined to be ketogenic or the comestible composition or diet has caused the animal's metabolism to become ketogenic if the amount of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the amount of beta- hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, or more. Similarly, the animal's metabolism is determined to be ketogenic or the comestible composition or diet has caused the animal's metabolism to become ketogenic if the amount of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the amount of beta- hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by from about 10 to about 300%, preferably from about 100 to about 500%, more preferably from about 300 to 2500%). Also, using other paramaters, the animal's metabolism is determined to be ketogenic or the comestible composition or diet has caused the animal's metabolism to become ketogenic if the amount of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the second urine sample exceeds the amount of beta-hydroxy butyrate in the first urine sample by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1 1, or 12 times.
[0015] The urine can be collected in any suitable manner known to skilled artisans. Generally, the urine is collected by inducing an animal to urinate into a suitable container, e.g., cups and tubes. In one embodiment, urine is collected using a catheter inserted into the animal's bladder. In other embodiments, the urine is collected using supra pubic aspiration.
[0016] The urine is analyzed for beta-hydroxy butyrate using any suitable method known to skilled artisans. Generally, a urine sample is collected and analyzed using the standard methods that determine the concentration of urine beta-hydroxybutyrate using commercially available manual or automated urine analyzers, test kits, test strips, dipsticks, and the like, e.g., test kits sold by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Noble Park, Victoria AS or by Dirui Industrial Co., Ltd, Changchun, China 130012.
EXAMPLES
[0017] The invention can be further illustrated by the following example, although it will be understood that these examples are included merely for purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention unless otherwise specifically indicated.
Example 1
[0018] Nine (9) dogs were fed a non-ketogenic diet, for seven (7) days and urine samples were collected within six (6) hours after feeding on day seven. Then, a ketogenic diet containing medium-chain triglycerides was fed to the dogs for twenty-one (21) days and urine samples were collected within 6 hours after feeding on day twenty-one. Samples were analyzed for the presence of beta-hydroxy butyrate. Beta-hydroxy butyrate was analyzed with the Precision Xtra® Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System (Abbott laboratory, Abbott Park, Illinois, USA). The results are shown in Table 1.
[0019] Referring to the results, the data shows that urine samples from dogs fed the ketogenic diet had a concentration of beta-hydroxy butyrate that was at least ten percent (10%) more than the urine samples from dogs fed a non-ketogenic diet. Table 1
