MYOS RENS Technology : Announces Upcoming Presentation of Results from a Kansas State University Study Evaluating the Impact of Fortetropin® on Canine Muscle Loss after Surgery, at a Major Veterinary Conference, January 20, 2019

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MYOS RENS Technology Inc. ('MYOS' or 'the Company') (NASDAQ: MYOS), a biotherapeutics and bionutrition company and the owner of Fortetropin^®, a proprietary bioactive composition derived from fertilized egg yolk that helps build lean muscle, announces the presentation of study results that evaluated the impact of Fortetropin^® on canine muscle loss following surgery, on January 20, 2019at the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC) / VMX Conference (https://navc.com/vmx/) in Orlando, Florida. Kenneth R. Harkin DVM, DACVIM (SAIM), Professor and Section Head, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University and the principal investigator of the study, will present the results as part of an oral presentation titled, 'The Impact of Fortetropin^® Supplementation on Dogs Recovering from Tibial-Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) Surgery' at 3:15 PM in the Discovery Theater at the VMX Conference.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the impact of Fortetropin on attenuating muscle atrophy following a common surgical procedure known as tibial-plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in 100 dogs at Kansas State University. TPLO is performed by veterinary surgeons to repair ruptures of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), a canine ligament that is analogous to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in humans. In the weeks that follow TPLO surgery, the immobilized operated limb frequently shows significant muscle loss due to muscle disuse atrophy. The objective of the study was to determine whether Fortetropin could reduce this muscle atrophy with respect to a macronutrient-matched placebo.

Joseph Mannello, CEO, MYOS, commented, 'The results of this Kansas State study are not only relevant to the company's veterinary business, which was established in 2018, but are also relevant to MYOS' human muscle nutrition business, with a particular focus on recovery and rehabilitation.'

The Northern American Veterinary Community (NAVC) Conference / VMX is one of the leading veterinary conferences in the world. The event is expected to attract >17,000 veterinary professionals from around the world in addition to >700 corporate exhibitors. MYOS Canine Muscle Formula (a Fortetropin product) will be available at the conference, and is currently available at myospet.com.
