Fwd: New Video Released from 2009 Canine Health Conference on Metabo
Canine Health Foundation News Alert
New Presentation Video Released from the 2009 National Parent Club
Canine
Health Conference [Monday, May 10, 2010]
The Canine Health Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of
the
next video recorded at the 2009 National Parent Club Canine Health
Conference held in St. Louis. The October conference, sponsored by
Nestlé Purina
PetCare Company, brought together leading researchers and
representatives
from national breed clubs to discuss the current state of canine health
research, and where the future will lead.
The video released is Dr. Ziad Ramadan, "Metabonomics: A Tool for
Nutrition Research." _Click here to view the this video and others

Nutrition research is beginning to take advantage of metabonomics
technologies to identify health biomarkers for humans and pets.
Metabonomics
describes the measurement of the full complement of the products of
metabolism in
a single biological sample and correlating these metabonomics profiles
with known physiological or pathological states using complex
multivariate
data analysis. The first direct outcome of nutritional metabonomics
will be
the discovery of biomarkers, which can reveal changes in health and
disease.
It will also reveal the response of a living system to short-term and
long-term dietary intake. Biomarkers that are identified by these
means can be
measured quantitatively over time, and can be used to monitor the
metabolic
status of humans and pets. Some biomarkers ultimately will be used as
diagnostic tools to recommend diets or other practices that reduce
risk of
disease. Therefore, metabolic biomarkers represent tools that help
encourage
consumers to actively participate with their veterinarians in
maintaining
their pets' health. Finally, metabonomics has the potential to
streamline the
process of finding foods, ingredients, and nutrients with enhanced
nutritional value for maintaining health and well-being. This
presentation will
give an overview of metabonomics technologies and applications in
physiological profiling, disease recognition, and dietary interventions.
Dr. Ziad Ramadan is a research scientist at the Nestle Research Centre
in
St Louis. He obtained his Ph. D. in analytical chemistry from the
University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia. He joined NRC in 2003
working on
projects revolving around the use of nutritional metabonomics and its
application to human, feline and canine health. His current research
includes the
application and development of mathematical tools to extract information
from multivariate data, such as feature selection methods for biomarker
discovery and mining of large metabonomics datasets. Also, he is
developing and
applying state of the art multivariate chemometics modeling for the
integration of data across the "omics" methodologies. Finally, Dr.
Ramadan has
collaborated with other researchers at NRC to publish a number of
articles on
a variety of topics, such as metabolic responses associated with
chocolate
consumption, metabolic changes in diseased cats, and the role of
metabonomics technology in human and pet nutrition research.

The Canine Health Foundation, founded in 1995, is the largest nonprofit
worldwide to fund health research exclusively for canines. Our goal is
to
help dogs live longer, healthier lives. The Canine Health Foundation
is the
leader in non-invasive genetic health research, stem cell research, and
biotherapeutics benefiting both canines and humans. Through the generous
financial support of Nestlé Purina PetCare Co., the American Kennel
Club, and
Pfizer Animal Health , as well as thousands of clubs and individuals,
weâ??re
proud to announce we have allocated nearly $24 million to canine health
research at veterinary schools and research institutions worldwide.
