Abstract
An investigation was carried out on most common synovial fluid parameters of normal and osteochondritic hocks of horses less than 12 months old in order to confirm the presence of an inflammatory process. Furthermore, a spectroscopic study was performed on synovial fluid from both normal and diseased hocks. A depolymerization of hyaluronic acid was demonstrated in synovial fluid from diseases joints, similar to that reported in human rheumatoid arthritis. A one month rest seem to normalize all parameters considered and in one joint, a return to normal infrared spectrum was demonstrated.[...]File in questo prodotto:
