Determinación del efecto de la oforosalpingohisterectomía sobre los factores de crecimiento en cachorras caninas

In the present study we sought to determine the effects of early sterilisation on the growth of canine puppies, focusing on the influence of growth hormone and the analytes vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and alkaline phosphatase which are essential for bone development. Growth in canine puppies occurs from birth to puberty, and during this process, the animal undergoes changes in size, weight and length. Bone growth is determined by the growth plates or epiphyseal plates, which close as the animal grows, thanks to growth hormones, thyroid hormone, oestrogens and androgens. For this purpose, variables of height and weight, serum levels of growth hormone (HGH), Vitamin D, Calcium, Phosphorous, Calcium, Phosphorous and Vitamin D were evaluated. Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium and alkaline phosphatase, in 10 puppies of 3 and 4 months of age. The 10 puppies were divided in 2 groups of 5 animals for treated and control group, the same anaesthetic protocol was applied for the groups, the measurements of the above mentioned analytes had two repetitions taken from day 0 to 35 in all the puppies, and measurement of height weekly, in this study it was determined that the levels of (HGH), Vitamin D. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, weight and length did not show significant differences except for FA.
