Metabolic changes associated with two endocrine abnormalities in dogs: elevated fructosamine and low thyroxine.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Metabolomics studies in canine endocrine abnormalities are sparse and basic information on these abnormalities must be generated.

Objectives

To characterize the metabolic changes associated with elevated fructosamine, reflecting poor glycemic control, and low thyroxine, a thyroid hormone controlling metabolism.

Methods

Leftovers of clinical serum samples; 25 controls, 79 high fructosamine, and 47 low thyroxine, were analyzed using ¹H NMR and differences were evaluated using Firth logistic regression.

Results

Both high fructosamine and low thyroxine were associated with changes in concentrations of multiple metabolites, including glycoprotein acetyls and lipids.

Conclusion

These findings suggest promising makers for further researc
