135 degrees. One possible explanation is that some dogs might need more time than 2 to 3 months to fully respond to the diet. Although there are no studies convincingly showing how many weeks are required for normalization of serum triglyceride concentrations after feeding a low-fat diet, clinical experience suggests that 2 to 3 months is usually sufficient. It is noteworthy that the baseline lipoprotein profiles (i.e., before the diet change) of the dogs that eventually responded to the diet were distinctly different from the ones of dogs that did not fully respond to the diet. This might suggest that hyperlipidemia in Miniature Schnauzers is a clinically diverse condition, which might have different underlying biochemical bases, and that certain phenotypes of the disease might not be as responsive to dietary management with low-fat diets. Data from the present study but also from older studies suggest that Miniature Schnauzers often have different biochemical abnormalities associated with hyperlipidemia. For example, in 1 study it was shown that some hyperlipidemic Miniature Schnauzers have hyperchylomicronemia while others do not. 17 Similarly, some Miniature Schnauzers with hypertriglyceridemia also have hypercholesterolemia while others do not. 17,84 Chylomicrons are dietary in origin and hyperchylomicroniemia is usually expected to respond to low-fat diets. 252 Increases in VLDL are not necessarily responsive to low-fat diets because VLDLs are produced through the endogenous pathway. 252 This finding further suggests that lipoprotein profile analysis might be useful in clinical practice as it provides important additional information to serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentration, and it might affect clinical decision making with regard to the management of dogs with hyperlipidemia.
136 There was no significant effect of diet on serum Spec cPL concentration. This finding was not surprising, however, because the enrolled dogs did not have any clinical signs of pancreatitis and the majority of them had a normal serum Spec cPL concentration at time of enrollment. Thus, the effect of low-fat diets on the clinical course of pancreatitis needs to be evaluated in additional studies. In conclusion, this study evaluated the effect of a commercially available low-fat diet on serum lipid concentrations and lipoprotein profiles in Miniature Schnauzers with hyperlipidemia. The study diet was found to be effective in significantly reducing serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations within 2 months. The lipoprotein profiles of most hyperlipidemic dogs were shifted towards those of non-hyperlipidemic dogs within 2 months. A subgroup of dogs did not fully respond to the diet change as indicated mainly by their serum triglyceride concentrations and lipoprotein profiles. The reason for this finding is not known at this point, but differences in the pathogenetic basis of hyperlipidemia among dogs might have played a role. Given the fact that the dogs enrolled in the present study had naturally occurring hyperlipidemia, the study diet should be expected to be beneficial in clinical practice. However, it is not clear whether other low-fat diets would have the same effect on the management of hyperlipidemia in Miniature Schnauzers.
