In a repeated switchback experiment, 6 miniature horse geldings, with body condition scores
ranging from 3 to 8, were exercised regularly and fed on diets containing a roughage to …

In a switchback experiment, six mature mares were fed a control and a fat-supplemented
diet while being exercised in a galloping regimen. After three weeks adaptation to each diet …

In a switchback experiment, twelve mature Thoroughbreds were randomly divided into three
groups; each group was fed to achieve moderately low (ML), moderate (M) or moderately …

Objectives—To determine effects of feeding diets with various soluble-carbohydrate (CHO)
content on rates of muscle glycogen synthesis after exercise in horses. Animals—7 fit …

Low muscle glycogen at the beginning of exercise may adversely affect performance,
increase protein degradation and contribute to the onset of fatigue. As horses are sometimes …

Reasons for performing study: Exercise depletes muscle glycogen stores, which could
subsequently impair performance. Muscle glycogen replenishment is determined by …

Carbohydrate and fat are the predominant sources of energy during exercise in mammals.
Carbohydrates, such as muscle glycogen and plasma glucose, and fats from adipose tissue …

Abstract Trial I. Twelve mature Thoroughbred horses were used to evaluate the efficacy of a
fat-supplemented diet to maintain muscle glycogen stores and reduce thermal stress in …

Reasons for performing study: No studies in horses have examined the effect of route of
carbohydrate (glucose) administration on the rate of muscle glycogen storage following …

To test whether, in horses, the concentration of muscle glycogen can be influenced by
increasing the uptake of glucose into the muscle cells or by providing a gluconeogenic …
