Relationship between dietary protein concentration and serum trypsin-like immunoreactivity in dogs
1989
Carro, T. | Williams, D.A.
Serum trypsinogen concentration was studied in 6 adult mixed-breed dogs randomly fed diets containing 6.8, 31.4, or 39.7% protein (dry weight) for 3 weeks each. Blood was collected on days 20, 21, and 22 of each feeding period, and serum trypsinogen concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay of trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI). Mean serum TLI concentrations for each dog fed each diet were compared. A significant (P < 0.05) positive linear relationship (P < 0.02) was determined between serum TLI concentrations and the percentage of dietary protein. Mean serum TLI concentrations for each dog fed all diets ranged from 5.7 to 20.2 microgram/L.
