  2. 1. Hereditary dystrophy of the retina and the retinal pigment epithelium in a strain of Briard dogs : A clinical, morphological and electrophysiological study

    Author : Anders Wrigstad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : A congenital hereditary retinal dystrophy was found in a Swedish strain of Briard dogs. A test breeding scheme produced a total of 6 litters of Briard dogs and Briard/Beagle crosses. A recessive mode of inheritance with a varying expression was observed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pawsitive selection : Genetics of dog-human communication

    Author : Mia Persson; Per Jensen; Lina Roth; Dominic Wright; Ádám Miklósi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Through domestication and recent selection, dogs have evolved a unique set of communicative skills to attract and redirect human attention. These social skills have not been seen to the same extent in socialised wolves and are therefore believed to have a significant genetic basis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Functional Studies of the Neuropeptide Y System : Receptor-Ligand Interaction and Regulation of Food Intake

    Author : Helena Åkerberg; Dan Larhammar; Rickard Malmström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropeptide Y; G-protein coupled receptor GPCR ; site-directed mutagenesis; pancreatic polypeptide; food intake; dog; Pharmacology; Farmakologi;

    Abstract : The members of the mammalian neuropeptide Y family, i.e. the peptides neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), are all involved in regulation of food intake. In human and most other mammals they act via receptors Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. READ MORE

  6. 4. Whole-grain cereals in dog food : Effects on metabolism and gut microbiota

    Author : Hanna Palmqvist; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : During domestication from the wolf, the gastrointestinal tract in dogs adapted to a diet containing starch, which is often present in substantial amounts in commercial dog food. In humans, diets with whole grain, compared with refined, are reported to have beneficial metabolic effects, possibly through the microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced during fermentation of dietary fiber by certain bacteria, e.
