Figure 2

Changes in plasma free fatty acids, glycerol, lactate and glucose in healthy and colic horses. The mean values (SD) are shown from before anaesthesia to 7 days post anaesthesia in healthy (n = 9–20) and colic horses (n = 8–16) with the American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status 5 (ASA 5) colic horses shown individually. Note that the time scale is not linear and that the Y-axis is broken for glycerol. FFA = plasma free fatty acids. PRE = before anaesthesia; AN 1 = after one hour of anaesthesia; AN END = end of anaesthesia; REC 15' = 15 minutes after discontinuation of inhalation anaesthesia, still recumbent; POST 15' and 30' = 15 and 30 minutes after recovery to standing; POST 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 = hours after standing; DAY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 = days after anaesthesia. * Significant difference (p < 0.05) between groups. A (colics)a (healthy) = significantly different from PRE. B (colics)b (healthy) = significantly different from AN 1.
