      horses: a comparative review.

AB  - Carbohydrate (CHO) stored in the form of skeletal muscle glycogen is the main 
      energy source for glycolytic and oxidative ATP production during vigorous 
      exercise in mammals. In man, horse and dog both short-term high intensity and 
      prolonged submaximal exercise deplete muscle glycogen. In horses, however, muscle 
      glycogen synthesis is 2-3-fold slower than in man and rat, even when a diet high 
      in soluble CHO is fed. There appear to be significant differences in CHO and 
      glycogen metabolism between horses and other mammals, and it is becoming 
      increasingly clear that many conclusions drawn from human exercise physiology do 
      not apply to horses. This review aims to provide a comprehensive, comparative 
      summary of the research on muscle glycogen synthesis in horse, man and rodent. 
      Species differences in CHO uptake and utilisation are examined and the issues 
      with feeding high soluble CHO diets to horses are discussed. Alternative feeding 
      strategies, including protein and long and short chain fatty acid supplementation 
      and the importance of rehydration, are explored.
