Journal Article
Kathrani, A., Larsen, J. A., Kass, P. H., & Fascetti, A. J. (2016). Effect of short-term probiotic Enterococcus faecium SF68 dietary supplementation in overweight and obese cats without comorbidities. Veterinary Record Open, 3(1), e000164. https://doi.org/10.1136/vetreco-2015-000164

Obesity in cats is associated with metabolic abnormalities and increased susceptibility to diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Studies in mouse models and human beings have shown that probiotics can reduce food intake, promote weight loss and improve...

The most important genetic associations that have been implicated to play a role in the etiology of Crohn's disease (CD) in humans are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nucleotide oligomerisation domain 2 (NOD2). The aim of this study was to... Read More about Association between nucleotide oligomerisation domain two(Nod2) gene polymorphisms and canine inflammatory bowel disease.

To investigate whether elevated canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (CPLI) concentrations in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a worse clinical outcome. Serum CPLI assays were performed on serum stored from cases dia...
