Proteomics in Gastrointestinal Diseases of Companion Animals: Current State and Knowledge Gaps

Abstract

Simple Summary Studying protein profiles is useful for investigating disease mechanisms and searching for biological markers. These biological markers can be used to diagnose diseases, monitor and predict treatment responses. This review provides an overview of the methods used to study proteins, outlines the process of discovering useful biological markers, and summarizes current research in dogs and cats with gastrointestinal diseases. Existing studies have improved our understanding of gastrointestinal diseases in dogs and cats. However, research in this area is still at an early stage. Potential biological markers have been explored but further studies are required to confirm their usefulness before they can be applied in routine clinical practice for dogs and cats.
