Serum Lipid Profile of Spayed and Non-Spayed Female Dogs Associated With the Body Condition Score

Abstract: Neutering females may be associated to weight gain in dogs. In order to diagnose possible alterations, such as diabetes and hyperlipidemias, laboratory assessment of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism is important. The aim of this study was to verify glycemia and serum lipid profile in non-spayed and spayed female dogs, and associate these results with the body condition score. Thirty-two spayed (n=16) and non-spayed (n=16) female dogs had their blood collected for biochemical analysis, and were classified as t… Show more

“…This finding is consistent with previous reports that identified significantly higher serum cholesterol concentrations in spayed bitches than in unspayed female dogs. 40 As for 17-β-estradiol concentrations below the LOD, as mentioned above, they were recorded entirely in the diestrus and anestrus phases. This finding reflects the normal pattern that generally occurs during the estrous cycle of the dog.…”

“…There are studies where the relationships between metabolic parameters and condition are described. On the other hand, there are only a few studies on dogs dealing with the relationship between castration and condition [7]. Oestrogen plays an important role in the regulation of energy and fat metabolism and affects the condition of dogs.…”
