Imitation of the metabolic effects of caloric restrictions by administering glucose antimetabolites to improve the positive response in mammals

摘要

The use of nutritionally balanced food or pet food composition comprising a glucose antimetabolite and / or a source of glucose antimetabolite in a method for improving a positive affect and / or energetic excitation in a mammal, wherein said antimetabolite of glucose is selected from the group consisting of 2-deoxy-D-glucose; 5-thio-D-glucose; 3-O-methylglucose; 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol; 2,5-anhydro-Dmanitol; manoheptulose; and mixtures thereof, and wherein said improvement of a positive affect and / or energetic excitation in said mammal is selected from the group consisting of improved social interaction, improved obedience, improved manners, improved alert status, improved activity and mixtures. thereof.
