Abstract

<p>Triglycerides are one of the blood lipid components and their increasing values are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Working out helps to reduce fat in the body as well as to balance the amount of energy uptake vs. energy use. Vitamin E is a liposoluble antioxidant tissue that supports the lipid peroxidation chain, thus preventing the oxidation and, in turn, acting as a triglyceridemia reducing agent. This study aims to evaluate the serum concentrations of triglycerides in Equi after doing a physical effort and receiving vitamin E. The study included ten horses that did a long-run workout session in two rounds: the first one without receiving any supplement; the second one, receiving vitamin E supplements. Blood samples were collected in the rounds: one before the test (M0), immediately after the workout (PE) and at the 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 96 hours. An increase was observed in the serum concentration of triglycerides in both rounds, with higher values in the second round. The study did not find any reduction in the triglyceridemia among Equi receiving vitamin E supplements</p>
