Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether the concentrations of proglycogen (PG) and macroglycogen (MG) in biopsy samples of horse muscle are influenced by extraction time or perchloric acid (PCA) concentration. In study 1, individual muscle-biopsy samples from 10 horses were divided into 4 parts each and then randomly subjected to 4 periods of extraction (10, 20, 60, or 120 min) with 1.5 M PCA. In study 2, individual muscle-biopsy samples from 6 horses were divided into 24 pieces each and then randomly subjected to 12 combinations of extraction time (10, 20, 30, or 40 min) and PCA concentration (0.5, 1.5, or 3.0 M). The results from study 1 indicated that PG and MG concentrations are affected only after extraction for 120 min; the PG concentration decreased significantly (P
