Topic:Animal Studies
Animal studies involving horses encompass a range of research focused on understanding equine biology, behavior, and health. These studies often investigate various aspects of horse physiology, genetics, nutrition, and disease pathology. Researchers utilize animal studies to explore the effects of different treatments, management practices, and environmental factors on horse welfare and performance. The findings from such studies contribute to the development of improved care strategies and health interventions. This page gathers peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methodologies, findings, and implications of animal studies conducted on horses, providing insights into their application in advancing equine science.
Fractionation of iodinated particles and mitochondria from thyroid by zonal centrifugation and a study of their heterogeneity. 1. The subcellular particles of horse and rat thyroids were fractionated in a B XIV zonal rotor on a non-linear gradient of Ficoll after labelling with radioactive iodine in vitro (horse) or in vivo (rat). In the horse, the resulting fractions were analysed for radioactive iodine, protein and enzymes representative of certain subcellular particles. In the rat, iodine turnover and thyrotrophin stimulation were studied. 2. The population of iodinated particles could be subdivided into three main classes, characterized by differences in beta-galactosidase and acid phosphatase content and position...
Non-extractable lipids in the adipose tissues of horses and ponies affected with generalized steatitis. When adipose tissues of horses and ponies affected with generalized steatitis were extracted by acetone, methanol and chloroform, non-extractable lipids were found to be present, which had become insoluble as a result of peroxidation and polymerization and had acquired autofluorescent characteristics. The origin of these lipids varies. Peroxidation occurs in three different lipid compartments, namely in the cytoplasm of the necrotized adipose cells, in the macrophagess and in the fat globules present in stroma.

Sleep and wakefulness in the housed pony under different dietary conditions. For several weeks, three ponies kept in an environment with controlled light and temperature, were studied for behaviour (time spent in recumbency and time required to consume hay or oats) and for electrical activity of the brain (cortical and sub-cortical) during the night phase of the circadian rhythm. Recumbency was adopted by all the ponies for six or seven periods during the night. With a regimen of hay ad libitum, about four hours were cumulated in sternal recumbency and only one hour in complete lateral recumbency. Various degree of sleep, as identified by cortical and hippocampal elect...
