  • Publication Date: December 5, 2013
  • Appl. No: 13/985884
  • Application Filed: February 07, 2012
  • Claim: 1. A method for treating, reducing, or preventing damage to the nervous system of an animal comprising identifying an animal susceptible to or suffering from damage to at least one component of the nervous system and administering in conjunction to the animal one or more unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and one or more nitric oxide releasing compounds (NORC) in an amount effective for treating, reducing, or preventing damage to the nervous system of the animal.
  • Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 wherein damage to the nervous system comprises damage to a glial cell, a ganglion, myelin, a neuron, or another component of the nervous system.
  • Claim: 3. The method of claim 2 wherein the damage is to at least a portion of a neuron that is soma, axon, dendrite, synapse, terminus, receptor, or effector, or a motor plate.
  • Claim: 4. The method of claim 2 wherein the damage is to a glial cell that is a microglia, astrocyte, oligodendrocyte, ependymal cell, radial glia, Schwann cell, satellite cell, enteric glial cel, or other glial cell.
  • Claim: 5. (canceled)
  • Claim: 6. The method of claim 2 wherein the damage is to a component of the animal's brain.
  • Claim: 7. The method of claim 2 wherein the damage is to a component of the animal's spinal cord.
  • Claim: 8. The method of claim 2 wherem the damage is to a component of the animal's peripheral nervous system.
  • Claim: 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the damage is caused by trauma to the brain or spinal cord.
  • Claim: 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the damage is caused by physical injury, disease, systemic status of the animal, metabolic status of the animal, or combination thereof.
  • Claim: 11. (canceled)
  • Claim: 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the damage is associated with normal aging.
  • Claim: 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the damage is associated with trauma.

  • Claim: 20. The method of claim 19 wherein the companion animal is a canine or a feline.
  • Claim: 21. (canceled)
  • Claim: 22. The method of claim 1 wherein the UFA are ALA, EPA, DPA, DHA, or another n-3 fatly acid from any source.
  • Claim: 23. The method of claim 1 wherein the UFA are from a fish oil source.
  • Claim: 24. The method of claim 1 wherein the NORC are arginine, a nitric oxide-releasing analog or derivative of arginine, citulline, or ornithine.
  • Claim: 25. The method of claim 1 wherein the UFA and the NORC are administered to the animal in amounts of from about 0.001 g/kg to about 50 g/kg.
  • Claim: 26. (canceled)
  • Claim: 27. The method of claim 1 further comprising administering in conjunction to the animal one or more B vitamins in an amount effective for treating, reducing, or preventing the damage.
  • Claim: 28. (canceled)
  • Claim: 29. The method of claim 1 further comprising administering in conjunction to the animal one or more antioxidants in an amount effective for treating, reducing, or preventing the damage.
  • Claim: 30. (canceled)
  • Claim: 31. (canceled)
  • Claim: 32. The method of claim 1 further comprising administering in conjunction to the animal one or more B vitamins and one or more antioxidants in an amount effective for treating, reducing, or preventing the damage.
  • Claim: 33. The method of claim 32 wherein the B vitamins are administered in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 40 times the recommended daily requirement of B vitamins and the antioxidants are administered in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10 times the recommended daily allowance for the antioxidants.
  • Claim: 34. The method of claim 1 wherein the UFA and NORC are administered as part of a composition formulated as a human food composition, a pet food composition, or a dietary supplement.
