The search for new ways to optimize the adaptive capabilities of service dogs is a prerequisite for increasing the viability of animals and increasing their longevity. Dihydroquercetin neutralizes the increased level of free radicals toxic to the body, protecting cell membranes from destruction, and reduces the harmful effects of oxidative stress. The use of dihydroquercetin contributed to increased providing cells with oxygen, stimulated anabolic processes and increased the antioxidant defense of the body. The amount of red blood cells in the blood of service dogs increased by 11.5-19.1% (p<0.01) when using dihydroquercetin, hemoglobin increased by 5.7-9.4% (p<0.05), total protein by 21-32% (p<0.01), albumin by 30-31% (p<0.001), compared with similar data at the beginning of the experiment. The antioxidant properties of dihydroquercetin contributed to the reduction of malondialdehyde by 23.9% (p <0.05); reduction of diene conjugates by 26%; and an increase in catalase activity by 36% compared to the data on the first day of the experiment. The use of dihydroquercetin optimizes the adaptive capabilities of service dogs and can be used to increase the vitality and longevity of animals.

The accumulation of organochlorines (OCs) in mussel tissue depends on the physiological and biochemical status of the organism and its interaction with the environment. Mytilus galloprovincialis, 2- and 1-year-old mussels, sampled from Mali Ston Bay, a reference area, and transplanted to Kaštela Bay in cages, were used for the assessment of OC levels and influence of biological parameters on accumulation. Results of bimonthly exposures during one year highlighted that OC accumulation decreases with increasing mussel age. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and p,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p′-DDTs) increased, while organochlorine pesticide (OCP; i.e., HCB, lindane, heptachlor, and aldrin) variations were very low. Statistical analysis generally did not confirm the significant effect of lipid content on the accumulation of OCs in mussel tissue. OC levels in mussels were below the maximum permitted levels for human consumption (European Commission).
