Topic:Clinical Study
Clinical studies in equine research involve the systematic investigation of health and disease in horses through structured scientific methods. These studies aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatments, understand disease mechanisms, and improve veterinary care practices. Clinical studies can include randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and case-control studies. They may focus on various aspects such as pharmacokinetics, therapeutic interventions, and diagnostic techniques. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the design, implementation, and findings of clinical studies in equine medicine, providing insights into their impact on horse health and veterinary practices.
Purification of follicle-stimulating hormone from horse anterior pituitary glands. Fresh horse-pituitary glands were extracted with 40% ethanol and the gonadotropins were recovered by increasing the alcohol concentration to 85% followed by drying with acetone. This preparation was further extracted with water at pH 5, and the extract was adjusted to pH 7 and lyophilized. The follicle-stimulating hormone in the pH-5-souluble fraction was purified by zone electrophoresis and resolved into six components by starch-gel electrophoresis. One of these components contained follicle-stimulating hormone which was recovered in the elution cell and the contaminating starch was separated...
