Implication

Randomized trial characterizes plasma metabolites related to exercise and diet in American Foxhound dogs, suggesting dietary implications for performance.

Key Points

The study aims to characterize the plasma metabolite profiles of American Foxhound dogs during exercise while fed different diets.
39 adult American Foxhound dogs received either a standard performance diet or a nutrient-fortified diet.
Blood samples were collected before exercise and at 3 and 25 hours post-exercise after an 80-day feeding period.
Untargeted metabolite profiling analyzed the plasma samples of the top-performing dogs from each diet group.
Over 200 metabolites were significantly impacted by exercise and over 185 by diet (p < 0.05).
Distinct metabolite clustering was observed between diet groups, related to amino acid and lipid metabolism.
Dogs fed the nutrient-fortified diet showed higher levels of tocopherols and omega-3 fatty acids, indicating lower oxidative stress.
