Abstract
Summary Blood neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and plasma cortisol levels were measured before and after (1) the injection of adreno-corticotrophic hormone (ACTH1–24) in 8 Thoroughbreds and (2) exercise in 5 Thoroughbreds in training. Plasma cortisol levels were significantly (P < 0.01) increased within 60 mins of injection of ACTH1–24 and immediately after exercise. The mean neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio altered significantly (P < 0.01) at 240 mins after ACTH1–24 administration and at 180 mins after a training gallop. A transient lymphocytosis occurred following exercise. Résumé Le rapport des neutrophiles aux lymphocytes sanguins et les niveaux de cortisol plasmatique ont été mesurés avant et après l'injection d'hormone adenocorticotrophique ACTH 1–24 chez 8 Pur Sang, mais également après effort chez 5 Pur Sang à l'entrainement. Les niveaux de cortisol plasmatique s'élevèrent de manière significative (P1–24) bei 8 Vollblütern oder vor und nach körperlicher Anstrengung bei 5 Vollblütern im Training gemessen. Die Plasmacortisolspiegel erwiesen sich sowohl innert 60 Minuten nach der ACTH- Injektion als signifikant (P <0.01) erhöht als auch sofort nach Anstrengung. Das durchschnittliche Verhältnis Neutrophile: Lymphocyten zeigte sich 240 Minuten nach der ACTH-Verabreichung und 180 Minuten nach Anstrengung signifikant (P <0.01) verändert. Eine vorübergehende Lymphocytose war die Folge der Anstrengung.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
