    J Am Vet Med Assoc 236(8):891 (2010) PMID 20392188

    Objective-To determine the effects of exercise at an early age on tissues in the metacarpophalangeal joints of horses. Animals-Twelve 18-month-old horses. Procedures-All horses were pasture reared, but 6 horses had additional exercise starting at 3 weeks of age until 18 months of age. At that time,...

    Am J Vet Res 71(4):405-11 (2010) PMID 20367048

    Exercised horses had fewer gross lesions, less articular cartilage matrix staining in the dorsal aspect of the condyle, greater bone fraction in the dorsolateral aspect of the condyle, and higher bone formation rate, compared with nonexercised horses. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Exercise at...

    We investigated the expression of the TGFβ-inducible Sema7A following spinal cord injury (SCI). After SCI, Sema7A(+) cells accumulated specifically in lesion areas resulting in significantly enhanced Sema7A expression at the injury site (P < 0.0001). During the first days lesional Sema7A expression...
