Diet affects skin gene expression in both healthy and atopic dogs – EurekAlert
Differences in skin gene expression were observed between healthy and atopic Staffordshire Bull Terriers as well as between dogs that ate either dry food or raw…
Researchers from the University of Helsinki, Finland, examined 48 Staffordshire Bull Terriers, of which eight dogs – four healthy and four atopic – were selected for RNA sequencing where their skin gene expression was compared between both atopic and healthy dogs as well as between dogs that ate dry food or raw food.
The diet appears to make a great difference in skin gene expression.
“Before the dietary intervention comparing atopic and healthy dogs, only a total of eight genes functioning in…
