What is it about?

Intense exercise in horses induces oxidant/antioxidant changes with myeloperoxidase a marker of interest. We found that that intense exercise and training duration in Thoroughbred horses caused an increase in myeloperoxidase concentrations.

Why is it important?

We concluded that changes in myeloperoxidase concentrations may be useful as markers of fitness and readiness for competition, warranting additional research in this area.
