Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the genetic links between variations in UCP2 and UCP3 genes and metabolic health in dogs, particularly focusing on traits such as obesity and cholesterol levels.
- Ten SNPs and four indels were found in UCP2, while UCP3 had 13 SNPs and one indel identified across 11 dog breeds.
- Although no significant associations were found with UCP2 variants, four UCP3 SNPs were linked to higher total cholesterol levels, especially in certain breeds like Shetland Sheepdogs.
