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.
Amino acid sequences around the cystine residues in horse growth hormone. The cystine-containing peptides of horse growth hormone were isolated and their amino acid sequences determined. Four unique half-cystine residues occur in two peptides, one containing 11 and the other, at the C-terminus of the protein, 15 amino acids. These sequences are compared with published data on growth hormones from other species.
Tissue distribution of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamonomethoxine in horses after intravenous injection. The author has already reported on the time course of blood level of sulfonamides in horses at various dose schedules3). The present paper is concerned with the tissue distri-bution of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamonomethoxine in horses. The distribution of sulfonamides has been reported by KoNDol) in experimental animals, in which the concentrations of these drugs in the kidney, liver, lung and spleen were found to be close to the blood level. Many investigators ascribed the low concen-tration of sulfonamides in the spinal fluid to the existence of a blood-brain barrier, and also observed that ...
