Objective: The present study aimed at comparing the nutritional composition and color traits between two meat types: Horse meat and pork from Korean native black pigs raised in Jeju Island. Methods: After slaughter 24 h, the longissimus dorsi samples were taken from left side carcasses of the 32-mo-old Jeju female breed horses and the 6-mo-old Korean native black pigs (n = 10 each). The samples were then placed into cool boxes containing ice packs and transported to the Laboratory of Meat Science where all visual fats and connective tissues were trimmed off and then the samples were ground. All the samples were analyzed for nutritional composition (proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, and amino acids) and color traits. Results: The horse meat contained significantly higher collagen, moisture and protein than the pork (p<0.05). The Jeju horse meat showed more desirable fatty acid profiles such as containing significantly lower saturated fatty acids (SFA), higher polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) contents and PUFA/SFA ratios than the pork (p<0.05). Differences in concentrations of ten amino acids existed between the two meat types in which the horse meat had higher values for all these amino acids, total amino acids (20.33 g/100 g) and essential amino acids (10.06 g/100 g) than the pork (p<0.05). Also, the horse meat showed significantly higher concentrations of Fe (34.21 mg/100 g) and Cu (2.47 mg/100 g) than the pork (Fe, 17.42 mg/100 g and Cu, 1.51 mg/100 g) (p<0.05). All the vitamins detected showed statistical differences between the two meat types in which the horse meat had higher concentrations of vitamin B1 (25.19 mg/100 g), B2 (92.32 mg/100 g), B3 (2,115.51 mg/100 g), and B5 (67.13 mg/100 g) than the pork (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained in the study, it is concluded that the two meat types studied are rich in nutrients and the animal species strongly affected the nutritional values and color traits of the muscle tissues.

Sarcopenia, the age-related muscle atrophy, is a serious concern as it is associated with frailty, reduced physical functions, and increased mortality risk. Protein supplementation is essential for preserving muscle mass, and horse meat can be an excellent source of proteins. Since sarcopenia occurs under conditions of oxidative stress, this study aimed to investigate the potential anti-muscle atrophy effect of horse meat hydrolysate using C2C12 cells. A horse meat hydrolysate less than 3 kDa (A4<3kDa) significantly increased the viability of C2C12 myoblasts against H₂O₂-induced cytotoxicity. Exposure of C2C12 myoblasts to lipopolysaccharide led to an elevation of cellular reactive oxygen species levels and mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin 6, and these effects were attenuated by A4<3kDa treatment. Additionally, A4<3kDa activated protein synthesis-related proteins through the protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway, while decreasing the expression of activity and degradation-related proteins, such as Forkhead box O3, muscle RING finger protein-1, and Atrogin-1 in dexamethasone-treated C2C12 myotubes. Therefore, the natural material A4<3kDa has the potential of protecting against muscle atrophy, while further in vivo study is needed.

본 연구는 마품종 간의 유전적 배경과 다양성을 분석하기 위해 제주마, 경주마, 더러브렛, 몽고마, 쿼터호스, 일본마를 기초 축으로 생물체 집단 간의 유전적 배경 및 관련성을 연구하는데 도움 되는 microsatellite marker를 사용하여 13종의 좌위에 대한 개체별 유전자형을 분석하여 대립 유전자별 빈도에 있어 품종별 차이를 보이는 microsatellite loci들을 나타냈다. 전체 개체들의 유전적 다양성을 나타내는 유전자 좌위별 품종별 기대 이형질성은 0.669-0.869를 나타냈고, 전체 집단 간의 유전자 분화정도는 0.061-0.219를 나타냈다. 이러한 대립 유전자 빈도를 근거로 하여 DISPAN 프로그램을 이용하여 집단 간 표준 유전적 거리를 도식하여 유전자 좌위별 유전적 거리는 0.137-0.414를 나타내어 마품종간의 유전적 다양성과 관련성을 고찰할 수 있게 되었다. 따라서 초위성체 유전자 표지를 이용하여 집단 내의의 혈통분석 및 분자 진화학을 연구하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

제주마의 세 구룹의 집단(group I , 제주도축산진홍원 관리마; group Il , 농가사육마; group III, 제주경마장의 경주마)과 외래품종인 Thoroughbred, Mongolian horse 및 Quarter horse에 있어서 transfemin 유전자 분포를 비교하기 위하여 Transferrin 유전자 exon 13, 15 및 16에 대하여 SSCP 분석을 수행하였다. 조사된 유전자의 빈도는 집단간의 유전적 분화거리를 측정하는데 이용되었고 집단분화의 유의성을 검정하였다. 집단분화를 나타내는 Fst 값에 의하면 제주마 group I 은 group Il (0.067) 및 group III(0.070)와는 가깝게 위치하고 있었으나 Mongol 집단과는 0.091 로， Thoroughbred 집단과는 0.189의 유전적으로 거리가 다소 먼 분화된 집단관계를 보여주고 있었다. 또한 제주마 group I 은 외래품종인 Thoroughbred, Mongolian horse, American Quarter 집단뿐만 아니라 제주마 group Il 및 m와도 차별화 되는 집단으로 유지되고 있음을 보여주고 있었다'(p <0.05). 제주 경마장에 경주마로 이용되고 있는 제주마 group ill는 제주마 group I 및 Thoroughbred 품종집단에 대해서 칩단분화에 유의성이 안정 ( p < 0.01)되 었고 나머지 다른 집단과는 집단분화의 유의성이 없었다(p > 0.05). 제주마 group Il, group Ill 및 몽고마 사이에는 분화 확률의 유의성이 없어서 이들 집단간에는 유전자 빈도가 매우 유사한 것으로 생각되었다. 이로서 비교적 짧은 기간에 번식환경의 격려 또는 외래품종의 유전자 유업에 의하여 제주마의 transferrin 유전자 빈도는 제주마 집단간에 이질화를 초래하고 있으며， 집단의 분화가 유전자의 유엽이 원인이라면 혈통보존되는 축산 진홍원의 관리집단 이외의 제주마 집단은 외래 품종의 유전자 유업으로 제주마의 고유한 유전적 특성이 빠른 속도로 희석될 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine risk factors for pathological gambling of horse race participants. Methods: The participants, 508 horse race gamblers, completed the DSM-IV criteria of pathological gambling, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-K) and Symptom Checklist-47-Revision (SCL-47-R). Data were analyzed using t-test, $x^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression analyses. Behaviors related to horse racing, alcohol abuse, and mental health were analyzed between problem or pathological gamblers compared to recreational gamblers. Results: The prevalence rates of recreational, problem, and pathological gambling were 36.6%, 39.4%, and 24.0%, respectively. Frequency of gambling (${\geq}4/day$), frequency of racetrack visiting (${\geq}3/month$), accompaniment (alone), and mental health (SCL-47-R scores) were all associated with increased risks of problem and pathological gambling. Expenditure on betting (${\geq}200,000$ won/day) and alcohol abuse (AUDIT-K 8-20 scores) group members had higher levels of gambling pathology than recreational gamblers. Conclusion: Problem and pathological gambling are highly associated with alcohol abuse and mental health disorders, suggesting that clinicians should carefully evaluate this population.

This study was conducted to estimate the effective population size using SNPs data of 240 Jeju horses that had raced at the Jeju racing park. Of the total 61,746 genotyped autosomal SNPs, 17,320 (28.1%) SNPs (missing genotype rate of >10%, minor allele frequency of <0.05 and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test P-value of < $10^{-6}$) were excluded after quality control processes. SNPs on the X and Y chromosomes and genotyped individuals with missing genotype rate over 10% were also excluded, and finally, 44,426 (71.9%) SNPs were selected and used for the analysis. The measures of the LD, square of correlation coefficient ($r^2$) between SNP pairs, were calculated for each allele and the effective population size was determined based on $r^2$ measures. The polymorphism information contents (PIC) and expected heterozygosity (HE) were 0.27 and 0.34, respectively. In LD, the most rapid decline was observed over the first 1 Mb. But $r^2$ decreased more slowly with increasing distance and was constant after 2 Mb of distance and the decline was almost linear with log-transformed distance. The average $r^2$ between adjacent SNP pairs ranged from 0.20 to 0.31 in each chromosome and whole average was 0.26, while the whole average $r^2$ between all SNP pairs was 0.02. We observed an initial pattern of decreasing $N_e$ and estimated values were closer to 41 at 1 ~ 5 generations ago. The effective population size (41 heads) estimated in this study seems to be large considering Jeju horse's population size (about 2,000 heads), but it should be interpreted with caution because of the technical limitations of the methods and sample size.

This study aimed to investigate whether breed, sex, and age affected temperament differently (more or less neophobic) in mature horses during a novel object test. The study included Jeju crossbred (n = 12, age = 9.42 ± 4.57 y), Thoroughbred (n = 15, age = 10.73 ± 3.09 y), and Warmblood horses (n = 12, age = 13.08 ± 3.55 y) with the females (n = 22, age = 11.36 ± 4.24 y) and geldings (n = 17, age = 10.65 ± 3.66 y). Jeju crossbreds (Jeju horse × Thoroughbred) are valuable considering their popular usage in Korea, but limited studies have explored temperament of Jeju crossbred horses. A trained experimenter touched the left side of the neck with a white plastic bag (novel object). The test ended when the horse stopped escape response and heart rate (HR) dropped to baseline. Behavioral score and escape duration were measured as behavioral variables. Multiple variables related to HR and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured to reflect emotional state. These included basal HR (BHR), maximum HR (MHR), delay to reach maximum heart rate (Time to MHR), standard deviation of beat-to-beat intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), and ratio of low to high frequency components of a continuous series of heartbeats (LF/HF). Statistics revealed that Thoroughbreds had significantly higher behavioral scores, and lower RMSSD than Jeju crossbreds (p < 0.05), suggesting greater excitement and fear to the novel object in Thoroughbreds. None of the behavioral or cardiac parameters exhibited sex differences (p < 0.05). Age was negatively correlated with SDNN and RMSSD (p < 0.05), indicating that older horses felt more anxiety to the novelty than younger horses. Thoroughbreds and females had distinct correlations between behavioral and HRV variables in comparison with other groups (p < 0.05), implying that escape duration might be a good indicator of stress, especially in these two groups. These results are expected to improve equine welfare, safety and utility, by providing insights into the temperament of particular horse groups, to better match reactivity levels with specific functions.
