Successive Changes in the Blood Composition of the Experimental Normal Beagle Dogs Accompanied with Age

Relationship Between Physiological Status and Serum Constituent Values in Minke Whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata).

“…On the contrary, Glu values in male whales were negatively correlated with both body length (r= 0.49) and body weight (r= 0.46). This is in agreement with the report of Uchiyama et al [28] that showed plasma Glu levels decreased with aging and growth in male beagle dogs. Also, Ca, Na and Cl values were significantly correlated with body length of male whales but not in female whales.…”

Effects of reduced food intake on the parameters of toxicity evaluation in dogs

“…In addition, statistically significant decrease of the serum ALP relative to the pre-test values was noted in both the control and LF groups. In the control group, the significant decrease was observed at W12 or thereafter, and was considered to be influenced by the physiological changes related to the slow turnover of the bone in accordance with growth (Uchiyama et al, 1985;Ikeuchi et al, 1991). On the other hands, in the LF group, the significant decrease was observed from the earlier point of the reduced feeding period of W4, and was considered due to reduced food intake.…”

Age‐associated changes to pathogen‐associated molecular pattern‐induced inflammatory mediator production in dogs

“…Younger dogs had significantly greater plasma total calcium and phosphorus concentration than middle‐aged or geriatric dogs and geriatric dogs had significantly lower BUN concentrations than the young dogs. While we are uncertain if these differences in plasma biochemical parameters altered our results, they have reported previously as expected age‐related changes 63–65 …”
