  • Reduced Post-Exercise Cortisol Response

  • Low evidence
  • Animal Study

  At 6 h post-SET, cortisol concentrations in CON horses returned to pre-SET concentrations, whereas cortisol declined further in SCFP horses to below pre-SET levels (P = 0.0002) and lower than CON (P = 0.003) at that time point.
