Dietary fiber intake plays an important role in the prevention of obesity. This study aimed at investigating the effect of cashew fiber without low molecular weight compounds (CABwc) on obesity prevention and metabolomics in a murine model of diet-induced obesity. Mice were fed a chow diet (CD), a high-fat diet (HFD) or a high-fat diet supplemented with CABwc (10%) (HFD-CABwc) for 15 weeks. The body weight, abd...
Neoplastic disease has become an important disease in domestic dogs over the years even thoughin veterinary medicine there is a lack of census of neoplasms. This report describes the tumor distribution between2003-2011 in Fortaleza (northeastern region of Brazil). A total of 1,008 samples of spontaneous tumour growths indogs from various tumor sites were obtained. The most affected sites were skin (52.98%; n=53...

Sertolioma is a common type of primary unilateral or bilateral testicular cancer, generally without signs that indicate the possibility of metastasis. This paper describes the clinical and laboratory diagnostic approach of a cryptorchid dog with sertolioma. The object of study was a male Pinscher dog, which reported the presence of a nodule in the inguinal region by its owner. Upon the nodule palpation during t...
Sixty seven male and intact dogs were grouped according to the age in three groups: 1 - 3 years (group), 4 - 6 years (group B) and above of seven years (group C). Ten animals with alterations in parenchyma prostate evaluated by ultrasonography had been grouped separately (group D) independently of the age. Part of the animals was submitted to the transabdominal ultrasonography and biopsy (25 animals) and anothe...

Accuracy in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in animals might be difficult to achieve when the clinical and pathological outlines are confusing, as it happens with Classical Swine Fever (CSF) and Salmonelosis. CSF is one of the most important viral diseases with an enzootic occurrence in Brazil, while Salmonelosis is a bacterial disease that causes acute or chronic diarrhea and leads to death in several spe...
Hodgkin lymphoma is a hematololgic B neoplasm occurring at patients within any age, however more likely to affect those from 15 to 40 years-old. The TP53 gene is 20kb length gene with 11 exons that encodes the p53 protein, which main function is related to the conservation and integrity of the genetic code. Most cancers show point mutations in the TP53 sequence. The analysis of these mutations allows a better u...
