The Impact of N-acetyl Cysteine and Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation on Skeletal Muscle Antioxidants and Proteome in Fit Thoroughbred Horses
Horses have one of the highest skeletal muscle oxidative capacities amongst mammals, which, combined with a high glycolytic capacity, could perturb redox status during maximal exercise. We determined the effect of 30 d of oral coenzyme Q10 and N-acetyl cysteine supplementation (NACQ) on muscle glutathione (GSH), cysteine, ROS, and coenzyme Q10 concentrations, and the muscle […]
Growth and Development of Thoroughbred Horses
Research into the growth and development of Thoroughbreds managed on commercial breeding farms is reviewed in this paper. Because horses are not meat-producing animals, less research has been performed quantifying growth, muscle, and bone development than with other production animals. However, variations in growth and development are linked with both value and wastage in young […]
Omeprazole Reduces Calcium Digestibility in Thoroughbred Horses
Proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole reduce nutrient digestibility in humans. This study determined the effect of omeprazole on the digestibility of diets containing limestone or marine-derived calcium (BMC) and to assess changes in blood parameters associated with gastric acid production and calcium status in horses. Thoroughbreds were used to evaluate the digestibility of diets containing […]

Effect Of Dietary Fats With Odd Or Even Numbers Of Carbon Atoms On Metabolic Response And Muscle Damage With Exercise In Quarter Horse–type Horses With Type 1 Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
Borgia Lisa A; Valberg Stephanie J; McCue Molly E; Pagan JD; Roe Charles R (2010) Effect of dietary fats with odd or even numbers of carbon atoms on metabolic response and muscle damage with exercise in Quarter Horse-type horses with type 1 polysaccharide storage myopathy. American journal of veterinary research 2010;71(3):326-36.
Effect Of Triheptanoin On Muscle Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise In Horses
To compare effects of corn oil or a 7-carbon fat (triheptanoin) on acylcarnitine, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism in plasma or muscle of exercising horses. Fatigue was not associated with depletion of citric acid cycle intermediates for either oil. Triheptanoin induced a significantly higher insulin secretion and did not appear to enhance muscle glycogen repletion.
Feeding Protected Sodium Bicarbonate Attenuates Hindgut Acidosis In Horses Fed A High Grain Ration
Feeding protected sodium bicarbonate attenuates hindgut acidosis in horses fed a high grain ration Pagan JD , Lawrence TJ , Lawrence LA , Huntington PJ Australian Equine Veterinarian 27(3), 53, 2008. Proceedings report of this research available here.
Fat Adaptation Affects Insulin Sensitivity And Elimination Of Horses During An 80 Km Endurance Ride
The present study tested the hypothesis that insulin sensitivity would be lower in horses adapted to sugar and starch than those adapted to fat and fiber during an endurance race.
Effects Of Oral Potassium Supplementation On Acid-base Status And Plasma Ion Concentrations Of Horses During Endurance Exercise.
To compare effects of oral supplementation with an experimental potassium-free sodium-abundant electrolyte mixture (EM-K) with that of oral supplementation with commercial potassium-rich mixtures (EM+K) on acid-base status and plasma ion concentrations in horses during an 80-km endurance ride.
