Effect of exercise on serum biochemical profile
In this study the mean ± S.E values of biochemical profile in horses 1 hour before exercise and 5 min after exercise were comparatively assessed and the results were presented in Table 3. Prior to exercise the values of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides were 79.50 ± 3.30, 96.72 ± 3.49 and 84.61 ± 14.61 respectively. After exercise the values were 96.44 ± 4.80, 124.83 ± 9.39 and 132.17 ± 28.50 respectively. Highly significant increase in glucose and cholesterol and significant increase in triglycerides were seen after exercise when compared to before exercise.
Prior to exercise the values of aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were 141.33 ± 23.10 and 119.33 ± 13.86 respectively. After exercise the values were 279.28 ± 30.19, 218.33 ± 31.14 respectively. Highly significant increase in AST and ALP were seen after exercise when compared to before exercise.
Prior to exercise the values of total protein and albumin were 7.03 ±0.14 and 2.88 ± 0.10 respectively. After exercise the values were 7.73 ± 0.13 and 3.29 ± 0.09 respectively. Highly significant increase in total protein and albumin were seen after exercise when compared to before exercise.
Prior to exercise the values of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were 25.30 ± 1.35, 1.55 ± 0.10 and 264.00 ± 18.40 respectively. After exercise the values were 34.83 ± 2.63, 2.03 ± 0.14 and 482.44 ± 46.09 respectively. Highly significant increase in BUN, creatinine and LDH were seen after exercise when compared to before exercise.
Prior to exercise the values of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) were 11.64 ± 0.43, 5.94 ± 0.43 and 4.43 ± 0.23 respectively. After exercise the values were 10.03 ± 0.38, 7.43 ± 0.51 and 3.95 ± 0.19 respectively. Highly significant decrease in calcium and significant decrease in magnesium and highly significant increase in phosphorus was seen after exercise when compared to before exercise.
Prior to exercise the values of sodium (Na), potassium (K) and chloride (Cl) were 137.51 ± 1.00, 4.07 ± 0.12 and 104.73 ± 1.22 respectively. After exercise the values were 141.13 ± 1.20, 4.63 ± 0.14 and 102.05 ± .03 respectively. Highly significant increase in sodium and significant increase in potassium were seen after exercise when compared to before exercise. Significant decrease in chloride was seen after exercise when compared to before exercise.
