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.
