Study of correlations between serum taurine, thyroid hormones and echocardiographic parameters of systolic function in clinically healthy golden retrievers fed with commercial diet

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study showed that the median serum taurine concentration was significantly lower in dogs with impaired systolic function. The aims of this study are: 1) To identify the relationship between serum taurine concentration, T4 and TSH assessment and echocardiographic indices of systolic function in clinically healthy GRs, 2) To establish a cut-off of serum taurine concentration that can discriminate between healthy GRs and GRs with systolic dysfunction, 3) To perform an inbreeding and kinship check through the pedigree evaluation. The possibility to take part on this research has been presented to the owners of the . . .
