【 摘 要 】

References(21)Supplementary materials(1)The objectives of this study were to survey clinics�? guidance about recommendedfasting duration (FD) prior to lipoprotein analysis, and to characterize lipoproteincholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in obese and overweight dogs categorized onthe basis of the 5-point body condition score (BCS) scale. A dataset was created fromlipoprotein analysis medical records of 1,538 dogs from 75 breeds in 354 clinics from 2012to 2013. A phone survey was conducted to obtain the clinics�? FD. Two-level linearmixed-effects models were applied to the data. Over 50% of the clinics said theyrecommended fasting for 12 hr or more. Dogs in clinics with FD 12 hr or more had lowerchylomicron triglyceride concentrations than those in clinics with FD less than 8 hr(P=0.05). Mean (± SEM) BCS at sampling was 3.7 ± 0.02. Obese andoverweight dogs had higher very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and high densitylipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations than ideal dogs(P<0.05), but no such difference was found for low densitylipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations (P�?0.07). Acrossall BCS, as dog age rose from 0 to 8 years old, HDL cholesterol concentrations decreasedby 13.5 mg/dl, whereas VLDL triglyceride concentrations increased by 81.7mg/dl (P<0.05). In conclusion, FD of 8 hr or lessmay affect lipoprotein lipid concentrations. Obese and overweight dogs were characterizedas having high VLDL and HDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.
