Obesity is a growing health concern in humans and companion animals. Obesity is highly associated with various endocrine abnormalities that are characterized by hormonal imbalance and/or resistance. Weight reduction generally normalizes these endocrine alterations, implicating obesity as a direct cause. Most data in this area have been derived from obese humans, with little data pertaining to hormonal changes in obese dogs and cats. Because the literature contains inconsistent results and because considerable hormone-hormone interactions occur, we have a limited understanding of the obesity-induced changes on the endocrine system in dogs and cats.
肥胖是人类和伴侣动物日益严重的健康问题。肥胖与各种内分泌异常密切相关，这些异常的特征是激素失衡和/或抵抗。体重减轻通常会使这些内分泌改变恢复正常，这意味着肥胖是直接原因。该领域的大多数数据来自肥胖的人类，关于肥胖犬猫激素变化的数据很少。由于文献中的结果不一致，且存在大量激素 - 激素相互作用，我们对肥胖引起的犬猫内分泌系统变化的了解有限。
