Recombinant Equine Interleukin-1 Induced Models of Equine Joint Disease
… gene sequences encoding three recombinant equine interleukin-1 proteins (EqIL-1a, EqIL-1b, and EqIL-1 receptor antagonist), were previously cloned and expressed in-vitro. The objectives of this dissertation were to 1) establish EqIL-1 induced experimental models of equine OA, and 2) to …

The ubiquitous equine
… depth of value. My intention with The Ubiquitous Equine has been to create a unique body of work, from subject matter which is intriguing to me, and from media which I find challenging. I wish to utilize to my advantage the individual "language" that each technique may facilitate. With this visual …

Matrix metalloproteinases in the equine systemic inflammatory response: implications for equine laminitis
… and often life-threatening disease of the equine foot. Soft tissue damage characteristic of this disease has been associated with increased MMP activity. Therefore, it seems likely that MMPIs could be potential therapeutic agents for laminitis. Further characterization of equine MMPs and …

Equine obesity-related hyperleptinemia
… approaches were used to further study equine obesity-related hyperleptinemia. The first experiment determined the prevalence of hyperleptinemia among postpartum, lactating mares, evaluated its consequence on their re-breeding success, and investigated correlations between leptin levels …

Studies on equine milk and comparative studies on equine and bovine milk systems
The composition of equine milk differs considerably from that of the milk of the principal dairying species, i.e., the cow, buffalo, goat and sheep. Because equine milk resembles human milk in many respects and is claimed to have special therapeutic properties, it is becoming increasingly popular …

Unsung Equine Heroes: An Analysis of Equine Care and Management During the Great War
This thesis explores the use of equines by the British Expeditionary Forces throughout the First World War, particularly examining various aspects of war equine care and management. It addresses the significance behind the use of these animals in the war before delving into the reality of how …

In vitro cytotoxic activity of equine lymphocytes on equine herpesvirus-1 infected allogenic fibroblasts
… of lymphocytes from adult horses against equine herpes virus-1 (EHV-1) infected allogenic equine dermal fibroblasts (EDF); 2) evaluate the ability of a 72 hour in vitro incubation with interleukin-2 (I L-2) to enhance the lymphocytic cytolytic activity against EHV-1 infected EDF; 3) …

Equine interferon-gamma and associated cytokines
… purpose of the present project was to develop equine Thl cytokines, making them available for dissecting the equine immune system, particularly in what concerns to defence mechanisms against infectious micro-organisms. Following the trend in human medicine, the cytokines produced will be useful …

Wearable Devices for Improved Equine Welfare
… technology is becoming increasingly popular in equine research. Current applied technologies for livestock are being used to detect pathogens, observe locomotion patterns, determine estrus periods, and measure vital parameters. These sensors leverage global positioning systems, accelerometers, …

Behavioural correlates of the equine stereotypy phenotype
… basal ganglia dysfunction as a neural feature of equine oral stereotypy. <br/>In the first study, the behavioural effects of one aspect of the neural phenotype – downregualtion of dopamine transmission in the nigrostriatal pathways – were examined. Animals with the medial aspect of the dorsal …

Equine Spermatogenesis: Meiotic Chromosome Behavior and Recombination
Studying the spermatogenesis of horse is beneficial for the horse industry by identifying the causes of chromosomal abnormalities, which cause embryonic loss, congenital abnormalities and infertility. Little is known about the spermatogenesis in horse. This is the first report that investigates the …

Chondrogenic capacities of equine synovial progenitor populations
Osteoarthritis is linked to approximately 60% of equine lameness problems. This disease involves compromised homeostasis of articular cartilage and eventual loss of this tissue in affected joints. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide promise for cell-based therapies for articular cartilage repair; …

Equine proximal phalanx bone properties during growth
Fatigue is the most common cause of fractures in racing horses. Bone adaptation can be driven by mechanical loading, and exercise during youth has been shown to have life long benefits for bone health. However, normal development must be characterized in order to evaluate the effect of exercise …

EXPLORING EQUINE ASTHMA: PATHOGENESIS INSIGHTS AND DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES
Equine asthma (EA) is a common respiratory syndrome of horses, including a spectrum of chronic inflammatory disorders of the lower airway, which can be classified as mild-moderate (MEA) or severe (SEA), based on clinical severity. Although it is spread worldwide and has been studied for decades, …

Equine innate and adaptive immunity to viral infections
… chain reaction (RT-PCR), we investigated equine cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to an inactivated West Nile virus vaccine in healthy yearling and adult horses. We also studied the potential of enhancing equine adaptive immunity to viruses and other pathogens by activation of innate immunity …
