Popis: Summary Reasons for performing study: Tools and criteria to evaluate and understand glucose metabolism are essential to optimise equine energy utilisation for exercise performance and reduced metabolic health risks. Objectives: To re-evaluate models of glucose kinetics in the horse at rest and during endurance type exercise using a single injection technique and compartmental modelling. Methods: Twelve exercise trained Arabian geldings received a bolus of 100 mmol/kg bwt (6,6- 2 H)glucose i.v. while at rest and while running at ~ 4m /s on a treadmill. Tracer and tracee glucose curves from 4-150 min after the bolus dose (while the subject maintained its resting or exercising state) were described by a 2 term exponential decay curve. Compartmental modelling was performed simultaneously for each horse's resting and exercise curves using an 'exercise effect' parameter for each compartmental exchange rate during exercise. Results: Exercise increased all rate constants and transport flows for glucose between compartments by 110-145% (P0.004). Total glucose transport through the system increased from 8.9 0.6 mmol/min/kg/bwt at rest to 25.0 1.1 mmol/min/kg bwt during exercise (P
