Serum insulin‐like growth factor‐1 concentrations in healthy cats before and after weight gain and weight loss
BACKGROUND: Measurement of serum concentrations of insulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐1 is used to diagnose acromegaly in cats. HYPOTHESIS: Changes of body weight do not affect serum concentrations of IGF‐1 in cats. ANIMALS: Ten healthy purpose‐bred cats. METHODS: Prospective study. In lean cats, food...

description | BACKGROUND: Measurement of serum concentrations of insulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐1 is used to diagnose acromegaly in cats. HYPOTHESIS: Changes of body weight do not affect serum concentrations of IGF‐1 in cats. ANIMALS: Ten healthy purpose‐bred cats. METHODS: Prospective study. In lean cats, food availability was stepwise increased during the first week and given ad libitum for a total of 40 weeks to increase their body weight. From week 41 to week 60, food access was limited to reach a weight loss of 1% to 2% each week. Measurement of IGF‐1 was performed at week 0, 16, 40, and 60. Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 was measured by radioimmunoassay. Body weight and IGF‐1 were compared among the 4 time points. RESULTS: Body weight increased by 44% from week 0 (4.5 ± 0.4 kg) to week 40 (6.5 ± 1.2 kg) (P < .001) and decreased by 25% from week 40 to week 60 (4.9 ± 0.7 kg) (P < .001). Serum IGF‐1 concentrations did not differ during the study period (week 0, 16, 40, 60: 500 ± 188, 479 ± 247, 470 ± 184, 435 ± 154 ng/mL, respectively; P = .38). Correlations with body weight were not observed. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 might not be influenced by changes of body weight in healthy cats, possibly suggesting that the latter is unimportant when interpreting IGF‐1 results in this species. |
