Two studies were performed with Standardbred geldings 7 to 21 yr of age to determine the sequence of changes in blood plasma concentrations of some hormones and metabolites during feed deprivation for 48 h and for 12 h after refeeding. Plasma hormone and metabolite concentrations were determined with methods validated for horse plasma. Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP) were determined with radioligand analysis following SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. In both experiments, plasma concentrations of triiodothyronine and thyroxine decreased (P < .01) during feed deprivation and increased (P < .01) during refeeding. Plasma glucose and IGF-I either decreased or were not altered during feed deprivation. In contrast, plasma concentrations of NEFA and urea nitrogen increased (P < .01) during feed deprivation and decreased (P < .01) during the refeeding period. Plasma somatotropin (ST) increased (P < .01) approximately 80% at 24 to 36 h of feed deprivation, declined (P < .01) to control values at 48 h of feed deprivation, increased (P < .01) nearly three fold at 3 h after refeeding, and returned to control values by 6 h after refeeding. We identified five IGFBP, and their plasma concentrations were not significantly altered during feed deprivation or following refeeding. We conclude that metabolite availability during feed deprivation and following refeeding alters the secretion of thyroid hormones, ST, and possibly IGF-I, thereby maintaining homeostasis in horses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
