Changes in pre- and postoperative serum leptin concentrations in dogs with gallbladder mucocele and cholelithiasis

摘要

BackgroundLeptin has been shown to have various physiological and pathological roles in the canine gallbladder. In this study, we performed pre- and postoperative short-term follow-up analyses to confirm changes in serum leptin levels before and after cholecystectomy due to gallbladder mucocele (GBM) or cholelithiasis in dogs.
