Why the study?
Does obesity induced by a high saturated fat diet alter the autonomic control of resting heart rate in dogs?
Population
Dogs fed a high saturated fat diet for 12.7 +/- 1.8 weeks to induce obesity, compared to control dogs.
Comparison
High saturated fat diet for 12.7 +/- 1.8 weeks… vs Control dogs on a standard diet.
Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
12.7 +/- 1.8 weeks

Attenuated parasympathetic control may elevate resting heart rate in obese dogs; leaves open translation to human obesity and autonomic therapies.
Does obesity induced by a high saturated fat diet alter the autonomic control of resting heart rate in dogs?
Obesity induced by a high saturated fat diet in dogs leads to an elevated resting heart rate primarily due to attenuated parasympathetic control.
