Additional aims were to assess for associations between increased DGGR (1,2-O-dilauryl-rac-glycero glutaric acid-(6′-methylresorufin) ester) lipase activity (suggestive of pancreatitis), hypocobalaminaemia and gastrointestinal signs in diabetic cats, as well as to assess whether certain factors (signalment, fructosamine concentration, insulin dose) are associated with increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentration (suspicious of hypersomatotropism). This evidence concerns the gene IGF1 and pancreatitis.
