Five horses with histories of colic developed signs of myocardial failure and skeletal muscle disease. Necropsy revealed pale areas in the cervical, pectoral, pelvic, and cardiac musculature; histologically, the lesions were indicative of dystrophic myodegeneration. Serum vitamin E concentrations were normal in 2 of the horses but serum selenium concentrations were normal in 2 of the horses, but serum selenium concentrations were low when compared with values obtained from clinically normal horses.
五匹有腹痛病史的马出现了心肌衰竭和骨骼肌疾病的症状。尸检发现颈部、胸部、骨盆部和心脏肌肉组织有苍白区域;组织学检查显示,这些病变表明存在营养不良性肌变性。其中2匹马的血清维生素E浓度正常,但2匹马的血清硒浓度正常,不过与临床正常马匹的数值相比,血清硒浓度较低。
