【 摘 要 】

References(28)Cited-By(5)The aim of the present studywas to compare the impact on blood pressure and different metabolic parameters of aweight-loss program on obese dogs fed on a low-fat high-fibre diet and treated with andwithout mitratapide. The study sample consisted of 36 obese dogs, randomly assigned to acontrol group (n=17), which were fed on a low-fat high-fibre diet, and an interventiongroup (n=19), fed on the same diet and treated with mitratapide. Variables measuredincluded body condition score, body weight, heart rate, systolic and diastolic bloodpressures; total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose levels; alanine aminotransferaseand alkaline phosphatase activity, measured both at baseline (day 0) and at the end of theweight loss program (day 85). All the studied parameters had decreased in both groups atthe end of the study; these being diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and alanineaminotransferase, significantly lower in dogs treated with mitratapide. The use ofmitrapide in addition to low-fat high-fibre diet does not seem to offer any further usefuleffect in the loss of weight during the treatment of canine obesity. On the other hand,mitratapide seems to present certain beneficial effects on pathologies associated withobesity, these being mainly related to blood pressure, lipids and hepatic parameters.
