The Effect of Rider Weight and Additional Weight in Icelandic Horses in Tölt: Part I. Physiological Responses

This experimental study assessed the physiological impact of increasing rider and tack weight on Icelandic horses performing the tölt gait. Eight trained horses were subjected to incremental body weight ratios (BWR) ranging from 20% to 35%, with physiological markers such as heart rate, plasma lactate, breathing frequency, rectal temperature, and

Potential therapeutic applications of thyroid hormone analogs

This review explores the development and potential therapeutic applications of thyroid hormone analogs, which are designed to replicate the beneficial effects of thyroid hormones—such as enhanced cardiac function, weight loss, and reduced serum cholesterol—while minimizing adverse effects on the heart, bone, and skeletal muscle. These analogs have been studied for
