Effect of Fish Oil, Arginine, and Doxorubicin Chemotherapy on Remission and Survival Time for Dogs with Lymphoma A Double-Blind, Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study

Polyunsaturated n‐3 fatty acids have been shown to inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumors. This double‐blind, randomized study was designed to evaluate the hypothesis that polyunsaturated n‐3 fatty acids can improve metabolic parameters, decrease chemical indices of inflammation, enhance quality of life, and extend disease free interval and survival time for dogs treated for lymphoblastic lymphoma with doxorubicin chemotherapy.

Energy expenditure in dogs with lymphoma fed two specialized diets

Background. Cancer‐caused cachexia has been reported to be caused in part by an increase in energy expenditure, and diets with nutrient profiles containing 30–50% nonprotein calories as fat instead of carbohydrate may exacerbate this state of inefficient energy utilization.
