Serum biochemistry of Iranian Turkmen (Akhal-Teke) horses

Serum biochemistry of Iranian Turkmen (Akhal-Teke) horses In order to study the serum biochemistry of Iranian Turkmen horses, we conducted sampling from 48 clinically normal horses aged between 1.5 and 12 years, and the following results were obtained: albumin (Alb) 43.95±4.48 g/l; total protein (Tp) 73.58±6.1 g/l; globulin (Glo) 2.81±0.65 g/l; A:G 1.66±0.46; glucose (Glu) 4.92±0.63 mmol/l; triglyceride (Tri) 0.26±0.1 mmol/l; cholesterol (Cho) 2.44±0.43 mmol/l; urea (Ure) 6.2±0.98 mmol/l; creatinine (Cre) 119.34±19.45 μmol/l; bilirubin (Bili) 16.07±7.01 μmol/l; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 269.81±74.40 IU/l; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 9.92±2.9 IU/l; alkaline phosphatase (AP) 422.7±110.37 IU/l; sodium (Na) 143.75±7.26 mmol/l; potassium (K) 3.84±0.46 mmol/l; chloride (Cl) 89.55±4.17 mmol/l; calcium (Ca) 2.85±0.15 mmol/l; phosphorus (P) 1.16±0.16 mmol/l; magnesium (Mg) 0.81±0.11 mmol/l; iron (Fe) 23.97±7.48 μmol/l. Between age groups, ALT, bilirubin, phosphorus and iron levels showed significant differences, with higher levels in horses aged 3–5 years, >5 years, <3 years and >5 years, respectively (P<0.05). Creatinine was the only parameter that showed significant difference between the genders, with male horses having higher values than female (P<0.05).

Abstract

In order to study the serum biochemistry of Iranian Turkmen horses, we conducted sampling from 48 clinically normal horses aged between 1.5 and 12 years, and the following results were obtained: albumin (Alb) 43.95±4.48 g/l; total protein (Tp) 73.58±6.1 g/l; globulin (Glo) 2.81±0.65 g/l; A:G 1.66±0.46; glucose (Glu) 4.92±0.63 mmol/l; triglyceride (Tri) 0.26±0.1 mmol/l; cholesterol (Cho) 2.44±0.43 mmol/l; urea (Ure) 6.2±0.98 mmol/l; creatinine (Cre) 119.34±19.45 μmol/l; bilirubin (Bili) 16.07±7.01 μmol/l; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 269.81±74.40 IU/l; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 9.92±2.9 IU/l; alkaline phosphatase (AP) 422.7±110.37 IU/l; sodium (Na) 143.75±7.26 mmol/l; potassium (K) 3.84±0.46 mmol/l; chloride (Cl) 89.55±4.17 mmol/l; calcium (Ca) 2.85±0.15 mmol/l; phosphorus (P) 1.16±0.16 mmol/l; magnesium (Mg) 0.81±0.11 mmol/l; iron (Fe) 23.97±7.48 μmol/l. Between age groups, ALT, bilirubin, phosphorus and iron levels showed significant differences, with higher levels in horses aged 3–5 years, >5 years, <3 years and >5 years, respectively (P<0.05). Creatinine was the only parameter that showed significant difference between the genders, with male horses having higher values than female (P<0.05).
