The Impact of Serum Oestradiol and Progesterone Levels on Intraocular Pressure and Systemic Health: Hormonal and Physiological Interactions in Female Dogs

Key Points

To investigate how serum oestradiol and progesterone levels influence intraocular pressure and overall health in female dogs.
Analyzed serum hormone levels (oestradiol and progesterone) in relation to ocular pressure.
Monitored physiological parameters like heart rate and body weight in female dogs.
Considered age as a factor in the assessment of health.
Significant correlations found between reproductive hormones and intraocular pressure.
Age and body weight influenced physiological health parameters in female dogs.

Abstract

This preliminary study highlights that reproductive hormones like E2 and P4, along with factors such as age and body weight, significantly impact physiological parameters, including heart and ocular health in female dogs. Thus, variations in reproductive hormones and factors like age and body weight should be considered when evaluating ocular health in female dogs.
