ABSTRACT
Asgari Safdar AH., Serum leptin,
adiponectin, insulin, C-reactive protein and serum long-chain linolenic acid
omega 3 and obesity in Mastiff dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 27 (7): 420-427, 2023. Author describes relationship between leptin, Canine C-reactive protein (CRP), adiponectin, and
insulin to body condition score (BCS) and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids
alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentanenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) in 77 Persian Mastiff dogs. Multivariate regression was applied to
determine correlations between these variables. Results showed that linoleic
and arachidonic acids were most abundant ~14 % whereas α-linoleic, docopentanoic and eicopentanoic
acids ranged 0.18-1.53%. Enhanced adiponectin correlated (P < 0.001) with
age, EPA and DHA acids but not with
obesity. Enhanced serum leptin was associated (P < 0.05) with increased
serum BCS, DPA and DHA. Highly significant (P < 0.0001) correlations existed
between BCS and leptin between lean and obese dogs but not between overweight
and obese ones. DPA was negatively associated with enhanced leptin but we found
no link between DHA, DPA and BCS and age (P > 0.36). Higher serum insulin
was associated (P <
0.001) with BCS in lean, overweight, and obese dogs. Results suggest long-chain linolenic acid omega 3 supplements
may manage obesity in Mastiff dogs.
