The Effect Of Varying Dietary Starch And Fat Content On Serum Creatine Kinase Activity And Substrate Availability In Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
The effect of dietary starch and fat content on serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and substrate availability was evaluated in 4 mares of Quarter Horse-related breeds with polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM).

Effect Of Dietary Starch, Fat, And Bicarbonate Content On Exercise Responses And Serum Creatine Kinase Activity In Equine Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
To determine the effect of dietary starch, bicarbonate, and fat content on metabolic responses and serum creatine kinase (CK) activity in exercising Thoroughbreds with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER), 5 RER horses were fed 3 isocaloric diets (28.8 Mcal/d [120.5 MJ/d]) for 3 weeks in a crossover design and exercised for 30 minutes on a treadmill 5 days/wk.
