The susceptibility of Caspian miniature horses to hyperlipidemia was followed in a study of healthy Caspian miniature horses in which food but not water was withheld for 48 hours. Two months before the study, the horses were fed a high-energy diet. The mean of weight gain was 26.46 kg per horse during this period. All horses had a normal rectal temperature, respiratory rate, and pulse throughout the experiment. During the period of food deprivation, levels of serum triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase significantly (P < .05) increased and glucose concentration decreased. As a conclusion, Caspian miniature horses were susceptible to hyperlipidemia, but they did not show classic hyperlipemia syndrome.
