Serum insulin‐like growth factor‐1 concentrations in healthy cats before and after weight gain and weight loss

Abstract 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,...

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).
