Liver diseases are known to influence the serum concentration of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in humans, but such an effect has rarely been investigated in dogs. The aim of this study was to investigate serum IGF-I concentrations in dogs with primary liver diseases, in comparison with levels in healthy dogs and dogs with non-hepatic diseases. For this purpose, IGF-I serum concentrations were measured (DSL-5600 kit) in 36 dogs with various liver diseases and compared with 22 healthy controls and 20 dogs with non-hepatic diseases. The results showed that dogs with liver diseases had significantly lower IGF-I serum concentrations (P < 0.001) than clinical healthy dogs or dogs with non-hepatic diseases. But the results also indicate that the aetiology of liver disease has no influence on IGF-I serum concentration.
众所周知,肝脏疾病会影响人类血清中胰岛素样生长因子I(IGF-I)的浓度,但这种影响在犬类中鲜有研究。本研究旨在调查患有原发性肝脏疾病的犬类血清IGF-I浓度,并与健康犬和患有非肝脏疾病的犬类进行比较。为此,对36只患有各种肝脏疾病的犬类测量了IGF-I血清浓度(使用DSL-5600试剂盒),并与22只健康对照犬和20只患有非肝脏疾病的犬类进行比较。结果显示,患有肝脏疾病的犬类血清IGF-I浓度显著低于临床健康犬或患有非肝脏疾病的犬类(P < 0.001)。但结果也表明,肝脏疾病的病因对IGF-I血清浓度没有影响。
