Zinc Concentration in Blood Serum of Healthy Dogs

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The objective of this study was to establish a reference interval for serum zinc in dogs and to determine the factors that affected it. We collected samples from 197 clinically healthy animals of various breeds and ages and obtained information about their sex, neuter status, age, breed, diet, lifestyle, weight, and body condition score. Serum zinc concentration was measured by a colorimetric method using a clinical chemistry analyzer. We established the reference interval for serum zinc as 4.9-19.7 mu mol/L. When assessing the relationship of zinc with various biochemical parameters, we found significant correlation with albumin and triacylglycerols. The only observed factor that significantly influenced serum concentration was sex. Female dogs had higher levels (median 11.0 mu mol/L) than males (median 8.9 mu mol/L). The difference between intact females and intact males was also significant (medians 11.6 and 9.0 mu mol/L respectively), but it was only numerical for neutered animals (median of neutered females 10.7 mu mol/L and of neutered males 8.7 mu mol/L). Despite the general belief that homemade food for dogs contains a lower amount of zinc than a commercial one, diet did not influence zinc serum levels significantly. There was also no impact of age, breed, lifestyle, weight, or body condition score on serum zinc concentration.
