Abstract
ABSTRACT: The lipid profile in clinical biochemistry is a very important tool for research and diagnosis of several pathologies related to an abnormal lipid metabolism. Lipid profile for samples of 127 healthy mixed bred adult canines (61 males and 66 females) divided in three age groups (1 to 3 years; 3,1 to 7 years; and over 7, 1 years) were obtained using the Friedewald method in order to establish reference values for some blood lipids. A statistically significant difference was not found comparing the obtained values for males and females. However, there are clear differences in the values obtained in this study compared to others, and it was also noted that in the consulted literature the above-mentioned method, which calculates the VLDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels with a formula, presents different results when compared with the direct method.
