The aim of the present study was to evaluate the modifications of some haematochemical and electrophoretic parameters during two different workloads in Standardbred horses. Ten clinically healthy horses were divided into two equal groups, taking part in an official trot race at 1600 or 2000 meters course, respectively. Blood samples were collected from each horse at rest, after warm up, 0, 30 and 60 min after the end of the race. Serum concentrations of albumin, globulins, total proteins, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, hydroxybutyrate, urea, creatinine, creatine kinase (CK), glutamate pyruvate transaminases (GPT) and glutamate oxalacetate transaminases (GOT) were assessed. Exercise increased triglyceride, glucose, creatinine and CK and decreased GOT which tended to reach rest level 60 min after exercise. Globulins were affected by exercise but there was no set pattern.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the modifications of some haematochemical and electrophoretic parameters during two different workloads in Standardbred horses. Ten clinically healthy horses were divided into two equal groups, taking part in an official trot race at 1600 or 2000 meters course, respectively. Blood samples were collected from each horse at rest, after warm up, 0, 30 and 60 min after the end of the race. Serum concentrations of albumin, globulins, total proteins, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, hydroxybutyrate, urea, creatinine, creatine kinase (CK), glutamate pyruvate transaminases (GPT) and glutamate oxalacetate transaminases (GOT) were assessed. Exercise increased triglyceride, glucose, creatinine and CK and decreased GOT which tended to reach rest level 60 min after exercise. Globulins were affected by exercise but there was no set pattern.Pubblicazioni consigliate
