Pulmonary Remodeling in Equine Asthma: What Do We Know about Mediators of Inflammation in the Horse?

Mediators of Inflammation, 2016
Equine inflammatory airway disease (IAD) and recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) represent a spectrum of chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in horses resembling human asthma in many aspects. Therefore, both are now described as severity grades of

Treatment of Potential Postpartum Eclampsia in a Python Using Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine: A Case Report

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT According to the traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) theory, Yin deficiency contributes to the acute onset of eclampsia. This condition arises primarily from the substantial loss of blood and nutrients to the foetus during pregnancy, leading to insufficient nutrition and blood supply. Consequently, the muscles and veins are deprived

Bronchial but not Tracheal Smooth Muscle is Hypercontractile in an Equine Model of Severe Asthma [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2015
Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, an exaggerated bronchoconstrictive response of airway smooth muscle (ASM) to stimuli. However, whether asthmatic ASM is mechanically different from non-asthmatic ASM is still unclear.

Field‐applicable low‐intensity exercise induces bronchodilation in horses with severe asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1445-1453, September 2026.
Abstract Background Airway dysfunction in severe equine asthma (SEA) often results in early retirement or euthanasia of affected horses. Exercise‐induced bronchodilation occurs in horses with SEA after intense treadmill exercise, but the effects of a lighter, field‐applicable, training regimen remain largely unexplored.

Harvested Forages for Horses From a Feeding Perspective—A Systematic Literature Review

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the important role of forages in equine diets, the aim of this project was to perform a systematic literature review of the area with relevance for Northern Europe. The objectives were to identify the currently available published peer‐reviewed literature on forages for horses from an equine feeding perspective and to summarize it to ...

Airway wall remodeling in asthma : novel mechanisms of human bronchial smooth muscle cells in the induction of angiogenesis [PDF]

, 2014
Asthma is a global major health concern and it affects estimated 300 million people. The prevalence of asthma is rising and there is no cure for asthma, only the symptoms can be controlled.

Variant analysis of RNA sequences in severe equine asthma

, 2017
Background. Severe equine asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lung in horses similar to low-Th2 late-onset asthma in humans. The disease in horses has complex inheritance including both dominant and recessive patterns that are ill defined. This study aimed to determine the utility of RNA-Seq to call gene

RNA-seq evaluation of equine alveolar macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages exposed to an inflammatory stimulus (short communication)

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Macrophage populations in the lung, including resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and recruited monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), recognize the inhaled particulates in barn dust that cause severe equine asthma and orchestrate an immune ...

Lipids in Equine Airway Inflammation: An Overview of Current Knowledge

Animals
Mild–moderate and severe equine asthma (MEA and SEA) are prevalent inflammatory airway conditions affecting horses of numerous breeds and disciplines. Despite extensive research, detailed disease pathophysiology and the differences between MEA and SEA ...
