Changes in the glomerular filtration rate of 27 cats with hyperthyroidism after treatment with radioactive iodine
Journal Article
Boag, A. K., Neiger, R., Slater, L., Stevens, K. B., Haller, M., & Church, D. B. Changes in the glomerular filtration rate of 27 cats with hyperthyroidism after treatment with radioactive iodine. Veterinary Record, 161(21), 711-715

Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrinopathy of older cats and is associated with an increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Renal dysfunction is also common in older cats and may develop after they have been treated for hyperthyroidism. This paper...

Differences in the expression of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone receptors in the lower urinary tract between intact and gonadectomised male and female dogs
Journal Article
Ponglowhapan, S., Church, D. B., & Khalid, M. Differences in the expression of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone receptors in the lower urinary tract between intact and gonadectomised male and female dogs. Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 34(4), 339-351. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.domaniend.2007.09.005

Receptors for LH (LHR) and FSH (FSHR) are expressed in the canine lower urinary tract (LUT). As gonadectomy results in an increase in plasma LH and FSH, the objective of this study was to determine whether there are any differences in the expression...

Differences in the proportion of collagen and muscle in the canine lower urinary tract with regard to gonadal status and gender
Journal Article
Ponglowhapan, S., Church, D. B., & Khalid, M. Differences in the proportion of collagen and muscle in the canine lower urinary tract with regard to gonadal status and gender. Theriogenology, 70(9), 1516-1524. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2008.06.099

Gonadectomy not only affects hormonal homeostasis but also alters the turnover of different components of the extracellular matrix in urogenital tissues. Collagen is an important component of the bladder and urethral walls and thus crucial for the me...

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease diagnosed in veterinary medicine and poses considerable challenges to canine welfare. This study aimed to investigate prevalence, duration and risk factors of appendicular osteoarthritis in dogs under p...
