About this event
Muscle atrophy often occurs as part of the normal aging process as well as with many chronic disease processes and sometimes post surgically in our canine patients. During this program, we will discuss the pathophysiology of canine muscle atrophy in sarcopenic and cachectic patients and the resultant negative effects on muscle health and mobility. We will review diagnostic tools used for assessing muscle health as well as current therapeutic approaches. Ursolic acid will be introduced as a solution for improving muscle strength, function and overall mobility. We will review the discovery of ursolic acid and supporting scientific efficacy data in mice, humans and canines.
