range: 74 to 316 mg/dL; p value= 0.003; Figure 10), although all values for both groups
were within the reference interval.
Serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations of dogs in Group 2B (Miniature
Schnauzers with hypertriglyceridemia)
Group 2B consisted of 31 Miniature Schnauzers with hypertriglyceridemia.
Serum triglyceride concentrations ranged from 218 mg/dL to 3,975 mg/dL (median: 750
mg/dL). Eleven of the 31 dogs (35%) also had hypercholesterolemia. Serum cholesterol
concentrations ranged 158 mg/dL to 575 mg/dL (median: 296 mg/dL). As expected, both
