Glycerol concentrations in dialysate and plasma in colic and healthy horses. The mean (± SEM) glycerol concentration in plasma in 8 colic horses and in gluteal muscle dialysate in 4 colic horses (a), mean (± SEM) plasma and gluteal muscle dialysate glycerol concentrations in 10 healthy horses (b). The graphs show the changes during anaesthesia, in response to regaining the standing position (time 0) and up to 24 h after standing. Due to loss of the microdialysis catheter the number of dialysate samples decreases with time. At 10 h after standing there are results from 5 healthy horses.
