Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute strenuous exercise on some physiological, blood and antioxidant system parameters in Kangal shepherd dogs with ankyloglossia. In both groups, red blood cell, leukocyte, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, hematocrit levels along with superoxide dismutase enzyme activity and malondialdehyde levels were increased after acute strenuous exercise compared to before exercise. In both groups, the biochemistry parameters of total protein, albumin, glucose levels were decreased after acute strenuous exercise compared to before exercise. In both groups, the heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature physiological values were increased after acute strenuous exercise compared to before exercise. In comparison of the groups within themselves after acute strenuous exercise, the respiratory rate and body temperature values were increased more in the ankyloglossial group. When the data obtained were evaluated, it was found that acute strenuous exercise affected physiological data more in the dogs with ankyloglossia. This study is the first study on blood and antioxidant system parameters in Kangal shepherd dogs with ankyloglossia.
