The kidneys maintain homeostasis and this function is compromised in hypoxic conditions. Hematology and serum biochemistry evaluations were performed on a 17-year old Nigerian part-Arab stallion, who was observed to be docile, cachexic, and has bilateral ocular mucus discharge. Ticks were seen...

Background: Clinical pathology results are typically interpreted by referring to population-based reference intervals. The use of individualised (subject-based) reference intervals is more appropriate for measurands with a high degree of variation between individuals. Objectives: To determine the...

Endurance competition frequently provokes serum biochemistry alterations in horses racing single day events. This study assessed the effect of consecutive days of endurance racing on commonly analysed serum biochemistry variables of horses. Blood was obtained once before 54 horses commenced racing...

To evaluate the effect of plasmapheresis on clinical, hematological, and biochemical parameters after exercise, a plasmapheresis session was realized on six jumping horses (plasmapheresis group) that underwent three consecutive days of physical graded exercise. The control group (n=6) went through...

High-intensity exercise can be associated with the occurrence of muscle injury, as well as the induction of an acute-phase response (APR). The present study aims to investigate the synthesis and profile of serum proteins in horses before and after participating in 2 different exercise protocols and ...
