The aim of this study was to determine the daily rhythms in the blood serum of homocysteine in horses. Ten thoroughbred horses, five athletic (trained for 1 h, 6 days a week) and five sedentary, were used. Blood samples were collected on each subject every 4 h for two days by means of the jugular vein. On each individual sample, the serum concentration of homocysteine was assessed. The results obtained during the experimental period indicated the existence of a daily rhythm of serum homocysteine in sedentary and athletic horses. They also demonstrated that in horses, physical exercise influences the daily rhythm of serum homocysteine.
本研究的目的是确定马血清中同型半胱氨酸的每日节律。使用了10匹纯种马，其中5匹为运动型（每周训练6天，每次训练1小时），5匹为久坐型。通过颈静脉每4小时采集一次每位受试者的血样，持续两天。对每个个体样本评估同型半胱氨酸的血清浓度。实验期间获得的结果表明，久坐型和运动型马匹血清同型半胱氨酸存在每日节律。结果还表明，在马中，体育锻炼会影响血清同型半胱氨酸的每日节律。
