this condition commonly reported by pet owners can be caused by a variety of factors and is often a precursor to more serious periodontal disease
What is oral malodor/halitosis
100
while not entirely effective when used alone, feeding this type of diet has been shown to aid in the removal of plaque and slow the progression of periodontal disease
What is a dry food diet
100
this group, formed in 1997, provides a list of standards and efficacy protocols for companies to use when formulating products marketed for dental health, and evaluates submitted data to determine if a product receives its "seal of approval"
What is the Veterinary Oral Health Commission (VOHC)
100
tumor cells preferentially utilize this energy source, resulting in a build up of lactic acid and a net energy loss for the host animal
What is glucose
100
this stage of cachexia is associated with biochemical changes in the body before clinical signs are seen
What is 1st stage
200
this condition, an early stage of periodontal disease, is commonly caused by the presence of plaque and oral debris on teeth where they connect with the gums
What is gingivitis
200
this is the most effective method of removing plaque and preventing periodontal disease
What is mechanical abrasion
200
this is a hard calcium deposit that forms a rough surface on teeth allowing bacteria and oral debris to collect and for plaque
What is a calculus
200
this is the end product of anaerobic glucose metabolism and must be recycled by the host due to tumor cells utilizing the majority of dietary glucose
What is lactate
200
Food selected for cancer patients should take advantage of the differences in metabolic needs between
What is Host animal and the tumor
300
these are also called neck lesions, or cervical line lesions, because they are usually found on the neck area of the tooth
What is Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL's)
300
polyphosphate additives in food help reduce calculus formation by binding to this element
What is calcium
300
How many phases are involved in Cachexia
What is 3 Phases
300
decreased levels of glycine, glutamine, valine ect
What is Serum amino acid profiles
300
A food that contains _____% of total calories from fat is recommended for dogs and cats with cancer
What is 50-60%
400
these cells are responsible for tooth demineralization and FORL
What is odontoclasts
400
food shape, size, and this should be considered when choosing a dental health diet
What is texture
400
this is the most common polyphosphate added to pet food
What is sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP)
400
Anaerobic metabolism of glucose by tumor cells results in this condition in the host
What is a net energy loss
400
_______% of total calories from protein
What is 30-50%
500
this term refers to bacteria that tend to proliferate in dental plaque
What is periodontopathogens
500
this class of compounds help sequester salivary calcium and help prevent plaque buildup by forming soluble calcium compounds
What is polyphosphates
500
this syndrome commonly observed in cancer patients manifests in weight loss and a loss of lean muscle mass that cannot be accounted for by reduced food intake
What is Cachexia
500
Host must recycle lactate through the
What is Cori cycle
500
Dogs fed theraputic food in study had higher serum concentrations of
What is EPA and DHA and Arginine
