The response to exercise following a rest period may vary among horse breeds based on the importance of hematological and hematochemical profiles athletic horses. Ten Standardbred ten Italian Saddlebred mares were subjected 4-week training program after seasonal rest, parameters (red blood cells—RBCs; hemoglobin—Hb; hematocrit—Hct; platelets—PLTs; platelet aggregation—AG; aggregation slope—Slope; fibrinogen—Fb), as well Albumin (Alb) non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), analyzed. Blood samples obtained each week during simulated performed at T0 T4 (T0pre-T0post; T1, T2, T3, T4pre-T4post). A two-way ANOVA revealed an increase in all assessed post vs. pre (p < 0.01) decrease PLTs both breeds. significant effect breed was observed, with higher values for RBCs Hb time point 0.001); Hct post, post; NEFAs 0.001) compared Positive correlations identified RBCs, Hb, Hct, PLTs, Alb, between AG Slope Negative horses comparable reaction observed rest.

Biomarkers of in vivo platelet activation in thoroughbreds during their first long-term training

Physical exercise has an activating effect on platelet function that differs between trained and untrained subjects, depending the type of training status. In humans, soluble P-selectin (sP-sel) platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are considered reliable markers
