Abstract
In order to determine the lipids, cardiac biomarkers and trace elements profiles Turkman horses, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 80 horses. The serum samples analyzed for CK, CK-MB, AST, lipase and amylase activity, troponin I, homocysteine, glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDLc, copper, iron and zinc by using commercial kits and standard methods. The average serum activity of CK, CK-MB, AST, amylase and lipase were 64.66, 18.78, 315.05, 8.66 and 128.18 U/L respectively. The average of other parameters in serum were as glucose 57.25, cholesterol 85.70, HDLc 43.41 and triglycerides 25.51mg/dL; iron 151.68, copper 104.50 and zinc 131.72 µg/dL; homocysteine 6.7 µM/L and troponin I 0.0165ng/ml. The serum CK and AST activity and homocysteine levels were higher in male than female horses (P<0.05). Also serum triglycerides and HDLc levels were higher in female than male horses. In comparison of age groups glucose, cholesterol, HDLc and cooper levels were lower in 3.5 and 4.5 years than 2.5 years (P<0.05). In this study cardiac biomarker were determined for the first time in Turkman horses and the basic data may be helpful for interpretation of them in some conditions such as diseases in this breed.
