Abstract

The concentrations of ascorbic acid and total protein in blood serum of 57 healthy race horses (17 males and 40 females) were observed. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1) The mean value of ascorbic acid concentration was $0.44{pm}0.16$ mg/100 ml (SD) ranging 0.20-0.92mg/100ml and sex difference was not significant. 2) The mean value of total protein concentration was $6.11{pm}0.3$ g/170 ml(SD) ranging 5.6-7.0g/100 ml and their sex differences were significant(P<0.05); male $6.36{pm}0.09$ (SE), female $6.13{pm}0.06$ (SE). 3) Observation on the correlation between the total protein and ascorbic acid content (${gamma}$=+0.3) and a liner repression equation (y=0.123x-0.31) were obtained.
