The Effect Of Varying Dietary Starch And Fat Content On Serum Creatine Kinase Activity And Substrate Availability In Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
The effect of dietary starch and fat content on serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and substrate availability was evaluated in 4 mares of Quarter Horse-related breeds with polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM).

Effect Of Diet On Thoroughbred Horses With Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis Performing A Standardised Exercise Test
Previous studies have associated recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) with a diet high in soluble carbohydrate (CHO). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 3 diets on clinical and metabolic parameters in 5 Thoroughbred horses with RER and 3 healthy Thoroughbreds performing a standardised exercise test (SET). Two diets were formulated to meet energy requirements for the amount of exercise being performed in the form of CHO or fat (21.4 Mcal DE/day).
