Topic:Glucose
Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as a primary energy source for horses. It is metabolized through various biochemical pathways to support cellular functions and overall energy requirements. In equine physiology, glucose levels are influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, and metabolic health. Monitoring glucose concentrations is important for understanding metabolic conditions, such as insulin resistance and equine metabolic syndrome, which can affect a horse's health and performance. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the regulation, metabolism, and clinical implications of glucose in equine health.
Levels of some chemical constituents in normal horse sera. THE chemical analyses reported in this paper arc the result of an investigation on the sera of thirty normal horses from a heavy draught horse stable in Glasgow. Determinations have been made of scrum proteins (albumin and total globulin), alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, calcium, magnesium, inorganic phosphate and urea. Estimations of some of these constituents have already been carried out by a number of workers, but in the majority of cases the investigation has been confined to one or two constituents relevant to the problem being studied, and many of the data available are a by-product of...
Metabolism before, during and after anaesthesia in colic and healthy horses. Many colic horses are compromised due to the disease state and from hours of starvation and sometimes long trailer rides. This could influence their muscle energy reserves and affect the horses' ability to recover. The principal aim was to follow metabolic parameter before, during, and up to 7 days after anaesthesia in healthy horses and in horses undergoing abdominal surgery due to colic. Methods: 20 healthy horses given anaesthesia alone and 20 colic horses subjected to emergency abdominal surgery were anaesthetised for a mean of 228 minutes and 183 minutes respectively. Blood for analysis o...
