Concentração sérica das enzimas creatinoquinase, aspartato aminotransferase e dehidrogenase lática em equinos da raça crioula CK, ASTand LDH seric concentration in crioulo breed horses

Abstract

A concentração de creatinoquinase (CK), aspartato aminotransferase (AST) e dehidrogenase lática (LDH) foi determinada em amostras de soro obtidas de 60 equinos da raça Crioula: 20 éguas mantidas no pasto (Grupo A), 20 equinos em treinamento (Grupo B) e 20 participantes da competição do "Freio de Ouro de 1997" em Esteio - RS (Grupo C), dos quais foram colhidas amostras 24 a 48 horas antes do início da competição e 24 e 48 horas após a mesma. Não houve variação significativa na LDH. O grupo B apresentou concentrações de CK e AST mais elevadas (pCreatine Kinase (CK), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Lactic Dehidrogenase (LDH) concentration was determined in serum samples obtained from 60 horses of the Criollo breed: 20 mares managed on pasture (Group A), 20 horses in training (Group B) and 20 horses participating of the Freio de Ouro 1997 competition (Group C), where samples were collected 24-48 hours before competition and 24 and 48 hours there after. There was no difference in LDH values between groups. Group B horses had higher (p<0.05) CK and AST serum concentrations than horses in groups A and C, indicating an adaptation to exercise. Forty eight hours after competition, CK values were lowest and AST highest. CK and AST were more informative than LDH in evaluating muscular function. Females had higher CK activity (p<0.05) than males. There were significam diferences related to final outcome of competition with a trena of lower values in the first places, indicating the athletic condition of the best horses.
