- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which analyzes plasma leptin levels in hyperthyroid cats before and after methimazole treatment. The study included thirty-five hyperthyroid cats with plasma-free thyroxine value (fT4) of more than 40 pmol/l. The results suggest that thyrotoxicosis potentially affects leptin concentration in cats and leptin levels increased significantly after three months of treatment.
