犬における血液脂質,糞中脂肪とキモトリプシン排出 : 年齢,体重,性の影響 Blood Lipids, Fecal Fat and Chymotrypsin Excretion in the Dog: Influence of Age, Body Weight and Sex

犬の血液脂質(総脂質,リン脂質,中性脂肪,NEFA)と糞中脂肪,キモトリプシン排出における生理学的変動(年齢,体重,性別)の影響を検討した。年齢,体重間ではそれぞれに統計的に有意な差が認められたが,両性間に統計的に差の認められたのは,総血漿脂質のみだった。得られた結果は,小腸機能の評価,特に消化・吸収の低下や脂肪便などの疾病における評価に活用できる。

Effects of physiological variables (age, body weight and sex) on lipemia (total lipids, phospholipids, triglycerides and NEFA), fecal fat and chymotrypsin excretion were examined in dogs. On comparing various ages and body weights, they found statistically significant differences, while only total lipids showed a statistically significant difference between the two sexes. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between body weight and fecal fat and chymotrypsin excretion. The results obtained contribute to the evaluation of small intestine functionality, especially in relation to some diseases, as malabsorption, maldigestion and steatorrhea in the dog.
