Figures & data
Table 1. Mean percent hind limb extraction of acylcarnitines (±SD) during rest and immediately following low intensity exercise in six warmblood mares as reflected by positive values. Negative values indicate net release into the blood. The right column shows the mean (±SD) fractional contribution of a metabolite to the oxygen consumption by the hindlimb at rest. Values at rest compared to post-exercise were not statistically significant.
Table 2. Mean arterial and venous plasma concentrations (µmol/L) of acylcarnitines (±SD) during rest and immediately following low intensity exercise in six warmblood mares. Arterial samples were collected from the transverse facial artery and venous samples from the caudal vena cava. Different superscripts indicate statistical significance.
Table 3. Mean percent hind limb extraction of acylcarnitines (±SD) during rest and immediately following low intensity exercise in warmblood mares with (n = 3) or without (n = 3) single supplementation of carnitine (100 mg/kg BW). Hind limb extraction of acylcarnitines is reflected by positive values. Negative values indicate net release into the blood. Different superscripts indicate statistical significance at P < 0.05.
