Abstract:BackgroundThe basal (bACTH) and post‐thyrotropin‐releasing hormone stimulation concentration of adrenocorticotropin (pACTH) are recommended for diagnosis of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID). Many factors influence bACTH (e.g., disease, age, month) and some affect the results only in autumn (e.g., breed, colour, sex). There are discrepancies about the impact of feeding on b/pACTH.ObjectivesTo determine whether feeding, month, age, breed, colour, sex and body condition score affect b/pACTH.Study desi… Show more
