Hormonal control of energy metabolism plays an important role in the peripartum development and health of the equine neonate. The endocrine system is generally functional at birth, but the maturation of the endocrine system and the associated energy metabolism is delayed and continues during the postnatal period. The energy metabolism is susceptible to disturbances, especially when illness occurs. Hormones involved in energy metabolism have recently been studied in healthy and critically ill neonatal foals. Understanding these hormones in the equine neonate will support appropriate therapeutic interventions as well as prognostic assessment of the sick foal.
激素对能量代谢的调控在马驹围产期的发育和健康中起着重要作用。内分泌系统在出生时通常就已具备功能，但内分泌系统及其相关能量代谢的成熟会延迟，并在出生后持续进行。能量代谢容易受到干扰，尤其是在患病时。近期，人们对健康和危重新生马驹体内参与能量代谢的激素进行了研究。了解马驹体内的这些激素将有助于采取适当的治疗干预措施，并对患病马驹进行预后评估。
