Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the mRNA levels of MDR1, which encodes the P-glycoprotein involved in drug resistance, and COX2, a key enzyme in inflammation, in cats diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and low-grade alimentary lymphoma (LGAL).
- It finds significant differences in MDR1 and COX2 levels between the two conditions but no correlation with clinical signs or histological severity.
- The results suggest that both genes may play a role in the development of IBD or LGAL in cats, with higher expression levels observed in LGAL cats compared to those with IBD.
