Equine infectious anemia. Pyruvate kinase deficiency in the red cells of thoroughbred horses.
Summary:
The authors studied glycolytic and non-glycolytic erythrocytic enzyme activities in 8 thoroughbred horses with equine infectious anemia (EIA) and 16 normal controls. Biochemical lesions were indicated, the most outstanding being a deficiency of pyruvatekinase. Adenvlatekinase could be considered as a “salvage pathway” for the formation of ATP.

Studies on the estrus cycle of Arabian mares in Egypt. A study of the estrus cycle of Arabian mares in Egypt gave the following results:
1. The estrus cycle was as short as 12 and as long as 240 days.
2. Cycles considered as normal ranged between 16 and 34 days and were more concentrated in the period 20–26 days.
3. Periods of anestrum caused elongation of the cycles to varying lengths, from double the normal cycle period to four times or more.
4. Seasonal variations in the length of the estrus cycle are discussed.
Excitation of the ventricular epicardium in the horse. Summary
Epicardial potential measurements were made in 21 horses. Unipolar and bipolar electrograms were recorded from numerous sites on both the right and left ventricular surface. Unlike the situation in man and dog, the earliest epicardial breakthrough of excitation was present in two areas on the left ventricular surface.
Activation of the largest parts of the ventricular surfaces occurred in a very short period of time. No fronts of activation could be demonstrated. Only in some basal parts isochrones could be drawn: the extreme basal areas were the last to be depolarised. A possibl...
A kininogen-kinin like reaction revealed by the marginal distance of the equine lung.
Summary
Wetting an area 40 × 40 cm. with water at around 16 °C produces a marked increase in the marginal distance of the horse lung (distance between limits of pulmonary sound and sound of thoracic wall) which persists for an average of 4 1/2 hours. The treated area, but no other area, of skin remains totally refractory for more than 7 hours and partially refractory for more than 28 but less than 46 hours. Phenylbutazone (7 mg./kg. i. v.) prevents the effect. A kininogen-kinin effect is considered the likely explanation. Camphor produced similar changes to those caused by cold water.
