Abstract
Beagle dogs fed pet foods that included yeast hydrolysate (YH) were used in the present study to assess the possible use of YH as a functional anti-obesity ingredient in pet food. The change in weight and girth in the YH groups was significantly (P<0.05) lower than that in the control. Plasma malondialdehyde was significantly (P<0.05) lower in the YH groups compared with that in the control. Plasma levels of the reduced form of glutathione were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the YH groups than those in the control. Therefore, YH could be recommended as an anti-obesity functional feed source for dogs.
