Alkaline-Promoted Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Polo Horse Manure for Biocrude Production.
ACS omega    May 16, 2026   Volume 11, Issue 21 31510-31520 doi: 10.1021/acsomega.6c01555
Namsiri P, Pianthong K, Thanakijkasem P.Horse manure (collected as pure feces) is a high-moisture, nutrient-dense organic waste stream with potential for valorization via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). However, catalyst selection is often reported without direct catalyst-class comparisons under identical conditions. In this study, manure collected in Thailand was characterized and converted via noncatalytic and catalytic HTL in a batch reactor at 300 °C for 40 min (feedstock/water = 1:10, w/w; heating rate 10 °C min). Four catalysts (KOH, NaOH, HPO, NH·HO) were evaluated at 10 and 20 wt % (dry feed basis), with biocrude recover...
Intraday and Interday Evaluation of pH and Hydrogen Peroxide in the Exhaled Breath Condensate of Horses Using A Portable Device.
ACS omega    October 6, 2025   Volume 10, Issue 41 48412-48417 doi: 10.1021/acsomega.5c05941
Barbosa B, Santi TF, Rodak AC, Nogara MF, Leite LMB, Weber SH, Niels C, Daros RR, Michelotto PV.The analysis of equine exhaled breath condensate (EBC) lacks standardized methodology, and current collection devices are often adapted for research. This study evaluates a novel horse-specific EBC collector and assesses the variability of EBC pH and hydrogen peroxide (HO) levels, exploring potential correlations with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and tracheal wash (TW) cytology. Eleven healthy mixed-breed mares from a teaching herd, with no evidence of airway abnormalities, were included in this randomized observational study. The collection efficiency of the proposed device was assessed, and ...
New Pathophysiological Insights from Serum Proteome Profiling in Equine Atypical Myopathy.
ACS omega    January 29, 2024   Volume 9, Issue 6 6505-6526 doi: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06647
Kruse CJ, Dieu M, Renaud B, François AC, Stern D, Demazy C, Burteau S, Boemer F, Art T, Renard P, Votion DM.Equine atypical myopathy (AM) is a severe environmental intoxication linked to the ingestion of protoxins contained in seeds and seedlings of the sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) in Europe. The toxic metabolites cause a frequently fatal rhabdomyolysis syndrome in grazing horses. Since these toxic metabolites can also be present in cograzing horses, it is still unclear as to why, in a similar environmental context, some horses show signs of AM, whereas others remain clinically healthy. Label-free proteomic analyses on the serum of 26 diseased AM, 23 cograzers, and 11 control horses were per...
