| Summary: | (animal fat) diet. Six mature pony mares were used in a a polyacrylamide gel by electrophoresis and TC was determined affected by diet, but diet significantly affected (P < .05) blood samples were collected during the interovulatory period cholesterol fractions (HDL, LDL, and VLDL) in cycling pony cholesterol, and that effects are highly dependent on cycles consisted of an entire estrous cycle during which determined by a commercial solid phase 1251 radioimmunoassay diminish period effects, half of the mares began the study on effected by diet with mares exhibiting higher concentrations enzymatically. Overall plasma TC, HDL-cholesterol, and increased serum cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and VLDL- individual mares. kit. Blood was collected on D 0 and every 7 d thereafter for lipoprotein and TC analysis. Lipoproteins were separated on mare having a highly signifcant effect (P <. 0 1) on HDL- and mare was significantly affected by diet in each of the mares fed a conventional versus a 12% fat-supplemented on progesterone; however, values tended to be higher in 4 of one mare's LDL-concentrations. No diet effect was observed other day therafter for progesterone analysis which was parameters studied, except progesterone. Data in this periods. In general LDL-cholesterol concentrations were not research indicate fat supplementation in pony mares leads to serum progesterone, total cholesterol (TC), and lipoprotein- switchback model so each mare acted as its own control. To the 6 mares while on the fat-supplemented diet. A wide the control diet and half on the fat-supplemented diet. Test The objective of this study was to quantify concentrations of variation between individual mares was observed which led to via the jugular vein. Blood was collected on D 0 and every VLDL-cholesterol concentrations were significantly (P < .05) VLDL-cholesterol concentrations. Furthermore at least one while on the fat-supplemented diet at certain specific time |
