Pandemic predisposing influence for feline lower urinary disorders by Carolina C. L. Paulino, André Meneses, André Meneses, André Meneses, Pedro Almeida, Pedro Almeida, Pedro Almeida, Paulo Dinis, Joana Tavares de Oliveira, Joana Tavares de Oliveira

“…Lower urinary tract signs (LUTS) in cats encompass a range of clinical symptoms, that may have been altered by the unique circumstances of confinement and increased human interaction during the lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The stress of confinement could exacerbate underlying behavioral issues, while increased caregiver presence might influence the expression of LUTS, potentially leading to either improved monitoring and early detection or increased stress-related symptoms. …”

“…In Weiwang and XL9, antioxidant enzymes (SOD and POD) and osmolytes (SS and Pro) displayed coordinated regulation, peaking at intermediate temperatures (-20 ℃ to -25 ℃) before declining, suggesting adaptive stress mitigation. Conversely, sensitive genotypes exhibited progressive oxidative damage, evidenced by linearly increasing O2-·, H2O2, and MDA levels (up to 195.4% increase in H2O2 at -30 ℃), coupled with declining SS (44.2% reduction) and Pro contents, which indicated the oxidative damage they suffered increased gradually and the cell osmotic balance was disrupted. …”
