A mare with signs of hypoglycemia had high serum insulin concentrations before it was euthanatized. High pressure liquid chromatography revealed that the insulin in the mare's blood was of commercial origin. Surreptitious insulin injection has been suspected as the cause of several suspicious deaths of insured horses. The use of high-pressure liquid chromatography should help put an end to this practice.
一匹出现低血糖症状的母马在被安乐死之前血清胰岛素浓度很高。高压液相色谱分析显示,这匹母马血液中的胰岛素来自商业来源。有人怀疑胰岛素注射是导致几起投保马匹可疑死亡事件的原因。高压液相色谱法的应用应有助于杜绝这种行为。
