Implication

Prospective case–control study shows decreased fat-soluble vitamin levels in dogs with inflammatory protein-losing enteropathy, indicating altered homeostasis.

Key Points

The study aims to compare serum fat-soluble vitamin concentrations in dogs with inflammatory protein-losing enteropathy to healthy controls.
Prospective case–control design comparing serum vitamin concentrations in 58 dogs with inflammatory protein-losing enteropathy and 50 healthy dogs.
Serum levels of vitamins A, D, and E were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography at diagnosis and after one month of therapy.
Evaluated associations with clinicopathological variables at T0 and T1.
At T0, all vitamin concentrations were significantly lower in dogs with inflammatory protein-losing enteropathy (p < 0.0001).
Retinol concentrations significantly increased at T1 (p = 0.01), but vitamin D and E levels did not show changes.
Homemade low-fat diets were associated with lower vitamin D concentrations.
