Abstract

Background: Optimal vitamin D levels for an effective role in immune function and rickets prevention are thought to vary, but have not yet been definitively determined. Reports on reference values of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in cats are limited.

Aims: The study provides information about serum 25(OH)D values in cats with different age, gender, breed, diet type, reproductive status, housing condition, and also the relationship between these levels and various hematological and biochemical parameters.

Methods: Clinically healthy cats (88) were included in the study. Physical examination and assessment of hematological and biochemical parameters were performed on cats in order to confirm their health status. Reference value of serum 25(OH)D was assayed by ELISA method and the effects of age (under six months and above six months), gender, breed, diet (only commercial diet, only homemade food, mixture of commercial and homemade food), reproduction status, and housing conditions on serum 25(OH)D was determined.

Results: The median, 2.5% and 97.5% of 25(OH)D in sampled cats were 19.74 ng/ml, 3.12 ng/ml, and 92.1 ng/ml, respectively. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was lower when homemade diet was used compared to commercial and mixed diets as well as in cats under six months of age compared to older cats.

Conclusion: Diet type and age can affect serum 25(OH)D levels in healthy cats while other parameters had no significant effects.

看似健康的猫血清中 25- 羟维生素 D 的浓度与年龄、性别、品种、饮食类型、繁殖状况和饲养条件的关系。

背景：人们认为，维生素 D 在免疫功能和预防佝偻病方面发挥有效作用的最佳水平各不相同，但尚未明确确定。有关猫体内 25- 羟基维生素 D（25(OH)D）参考值的报告很有限。目的：本研究提供了有关不同年龄、性别、品种、饮食类型、繁殖状况、饲养条件的猫血清 25(OH)D 值的信息，以及这些水平与各种血液学和生化参数之间的关系：研究对象包括临床健康的猫（88 只）。方法：研究纳入了临床健康猫咪（88 只），对猫咪进行体格检查并评估血液学和生化指标，以确认猫咪的健康状况。用酶联免疫吸附法测定血清 25（OH）D 的参考值，并测定年龄（6 个月以下和 6 个月以上）、性别、品种、饮食（只吃商品粮、只吃自制食品、商品粮和自制食品混合）、繁殖状况和饲养条件对血清 25（OH）D 的影响：采样猫血清 25(OH)D 的中位数、2.5% 和 97.5% 分别为 19.74 纳克/毫升、3.12 纳克/毫升和 92.1 纳克/毫升。与商品日粮和混合日粮相比，使用自制日粮的猫血清中 25(OH)D 的浓度较低；与年龄较大的猫相比，6 个月以下的猫血清中 25(OH)D 的浓度较低：结论：饮食类型和年龄会影响健康猫的血清 25(OH)D 水平，而其他参数没有明显影响。
