A repeated measures design was used to analyze the effect of a canine interaction on salivary cortisol and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in 33 adults; 16 were pet owners and 17 were non-pet owners. Cortisol and IgA levels before and after a canine interaction (experimental) or viewing a canine movie (control) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and spectrophotometer. Data show a significant interaction effect for salivary cortisol in non-pet owners (p = 0.003). Changes in IgA levels were not significant. The findings suggested that interaction with canines may help reduce the biological effects of stress that influences human health. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to support these results.

Un design di misure ripetute &egrave; stato utilizzato per analizzare l&#39;effetto di un&#39;interazione canina su cortisolo salivaria e immunoglobulina A (IgA) in 33 adulti; 16 erano proprietari dell&#39;animale domestico e 17 erano proprietari non-animale domestico. Livelli di cortisolo e IgA prima e dopo un&#39;interazione canine (sperimentale) o visualizzare un filmato canino (controllo) sono stati misurati con spettrofotometro e analisi enzima-collegata dell&#39;immunosorbente. I dati mostrano un effetto di interazione significativa per cortisolo salivaria in pet non proprietari (p = 0,003). Cambiamenti nei livelli di IgA non erano significative. I risultati ha suggerito che l&#39;interazione con canini pu&ograve; contribuire a ridurre gli effetti biologici di stress che influenza la salute umana. Ulteriori studi con campioni di dimensioni pi&ugrave; grandi sono necessari a sostegno di questi risultati.
