Taurine status in normal dogs fed a commercial diet associated with taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy.
Taurine (Tau) deficiencies have been associated with the feeding of commercial lamb-meal and rice diets to dogs. We hypothesized that the poor digestibility of some lamb-meals may limit sulphur amino acids availability for Tau synthesis and/or increase of Tau degradation in the gut. Growing dogs were fed either a lamb-meal-based (Diet A) or poultry by-product-based (Diet B) commercial diet. Pla...
متن کاملHypothyroidism in Golden Retrievers
The thyroid gland is a small gland located near around the voice box, or larynx, in the neck. Hormones from the thyroid gland affect the rate of metabolism and temperature control, among other functions. Hypothyroidism, or low concentrations of thyroid hormones, is the most common endocrine disease of dogs, and breeders rate it as one of the most important health conditions of purebred dogs. Wh...
متن کاملTIMP-3 deficiency leads to dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Despite the mounting clinical burden of heart failure, the biomolecules that control myocardial tissue remodeling are poorly understood. TIMP-3 is an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that has been found to be deficient in failing human myocardium. We hypothesized that TIMP-3 expression prevents maladaptive tissue remodeling in the heart, and accordingly, its d...
متن کاملPlasma lipoproteins of normal Golden Retrievers.
A partially purified preparation of oxidases from human liver, containing 8 m-units of THC-CoA oxidase, 16 m-units of palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, and 4.5 mg of protein in 2 ml of 10 mwpyrophosphate buffer, pH 9.0, 10 ~ M F A D and 1 mM-EDTA was applied to a hydroxylapatite column (0.9 cm x 12 cm). The preparation was left to adsorb for 30 min, then eluted with a linear 10-200 mwpotassium phosphate g...
متن کاملDilated Cardiomyopathy Induced by Chronic Starvation and Selenium Deficiency
Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) has been rarely documented as a cause of cardiovascular abnormalities, including dilated cardiomyopathy. Selenium is responsible for antioxidant defense mechanisms in cardiomyocytes, and its deficiency in the setting of PEM and disease related malnutrition (DRM) may lead to exacerbation of the dilated cardiomyopathy. We report a rare case of a fourteen-year-old...
