| 中文描述 | 陳述如下:甲狀腺功能低落在馬是不好定義的.很多對此疾病的問題藉由診斷測試但沒有足夠的確證.問題包括行動力低落,肌肉炎,肥胖,脂肪重分布,無汗症,不孕症,無乳病,和馬足板層炎 (Frank等人).在馬食入過多的碘,甲狀腺腫會形成,先天的甲狀腺腫或是甲狀腺腫大在一歲馬和成馬.常和對馬餵食的海草(巨藻)關聯.藉由甲狀腺水腫和高血中和飲食碘含量聯繫.甲狀腺腫在新生兒小馬也已經和碘缺乏聯繫.病狀隨甲狀腺腫變化不等只有對有衰弱和新生而死亡的系統病狀.沒有關聯在血清throxine濃度在母馬和早期懷孕情況兩者之間. |
| 英文描述 | The statement has been made that: 'Hypothyroidism is poorly defined in horses. Many problems are attributed to the disease without adequate confirmation by diagnostic testing. Problems include poor performance, myositis, obesity, fat redistribution, anhidrosis, infertility, agalactia, and laminitis' (Frank et al.). In horses fed excessive iodine, goiter can develop, either congenital goiter or thyroid enlargement in yearlings and adults. Often associated with feeding seaweed (kelp) to horses. Dx by thyroid swelling associated with high blood and dietary iodide levels. Goiter in the newborn foal has also been associated with iodine deficiency. Signs vary from thyroid swelling only to systemic signs with weakness and neonatal death. There was no relationship between serum T4 concentrations in mares and early pregnancy status. |
