Topic:Analytical Methods
Analytical methods in equine research encompass a variety of scientific techniques and tools used to study and evaluate different aspects of horse health, performance, and physiology. These methods help advance our understanding of equine biology, diagnosing conditions, and improving management practices. Common analytical methods include molecular techniques like PCR and ELISA for detecting pathogens and measuring biomarkers, imaging technologies such as ultrasound and MRI for assessing musculoskeletal health, and statistical models for analyzing genetic data and performance metrics. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the development, application, and impact of various analytical methods in equine science.
Cytochrome c: a thermodynamic study of the relationship among oxidation state, ion-binding and structural parameters. Cation binding to horse-heart ferrocytochrome c. The specific binding of cations to horse heart ferrocytochrome c has been studied, using the gel
filtration method. The cations investigated were: Mg2+, Co2+, cinchonine and proflavine. The stability
constants are in the range of 5-8 mM-1, and the number of binding sites per protein molecule are
1 to 2. The temperature dependence of the stability constant for the Mg2+-ferrocytochrome system
was measured. The thermodynamic parameters were found to be: dH&s = 4-12 kcal/mol, dG;,,
(25 "C) = -5.6 kcal/mol and AS&, = +57 calxmol-lx K-I.
Extraction of equine infectious anemia immunodiffusion antigen with the aid of the chaotropic agent, thiocyanate. Immunodiffusion antigen from spleens of horses infected with equine infectious anemia virus was prepared by methods employing freeze-thaw cycles and thiocyanate treatment. Thiocyanate (0.5 M) permitted the recovery of the greatest amount of antigen. Furthermore, it was most effective for recovery of immunodiffusion antigen from spleens which yielded unsatisfactory concentrations of antigen by the conventional freeze-thaw or water-extraction methods. The reactivity of the antigen did not appear to be affected by this chemical treatment.
Modification of present procedures for the determination of conjugated estrogens (equine) in various low-dosage forms. The presently used procedures for the colorimetric determination of conjugated estrogens (equine) have been modified for the assay of tablets, capsules, liquids, and creams of low declaration per dosage unit. Modifications in sample chromatographic column preparation and elution have provided a more efficient extraction of the steroids.
[Studies on doping test by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. I. Detection and identification of sulpyrine, aminopyrine and their metabolites in the horse urine]. When sulpyrine and aminopyrine are administered to the horse, unchanged aminopyrine and its metabolites, 4-methylaminoantipyrine and 4-aminoantipyrine, are detected in the urine by means of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and gas liquid chromatography. Further identification of aminopyrine and these metabolites was carried out by the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The procedures for separation and identification are as follows : The excretions were adjusted to pH 9 with ammonium hydroxide and extracted with chloroform. The extract was separated by TLC. The spots were loca...
Determination of amphetamine in urine and blood. The determination of amphetamine in body fluids is of interest in veterinary toxicology because of the possible use of amphetamine in the doping of race horses. Many types of methods for its detection and determination have been developed. In the newest methods gas chromatography and mass spectrometry have been applied, making it possible to detect and identify 1 µg amphetamine in blood samples ( 1970).
