AB  - In this study, plasma glucose and lipid concentrations and 
  cholesterol lipoprotein profile were measured and compared in 5 captive bottlenose 
  dolphins (<I>Tursiops truncatus</I>), 6 Thoroughbred riding horses and 12 lactating 
  Holstein cows. Plasma glucose concentrations of cows (71.36&plusmn;5.05 mg dL<SUP>-1</SUP>) 
  were significantly lower than those of dolphins (107.00&plusmn;16.20 mg dL<SUP>-1</SUP>) 
  and horses. Plasma TG concentrations of dolphins (22.80&plusmn;8.70 mg dL<SUP>-1</SUP>) 
  were demonstrated significant difference compared to horses and cows (14.33&plusmn;5.28 
  and 8.14&plusmn;1.46 mg dL<SUP>-1</SUP>), respectively. Total cholesterol concentrations 
  of horses (73.50&plusmn;2.88 mg dL<SUP>-1</SUP>) were significantly lower than 
  those of dolphins (195.20&plusmn;61.20 mg dL<SUP>-1</SUP>). Furthermore, NEFA 
  values of dolphins (0.32&plusmn;0.12 mEq L<SUP>-1</SUP>) were demonstrated significant 
  difference compared to horses and cows (0.04&plusmn;0.02 and 0.09&plusmn;0.03 
  mEq L<SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively). All animals showed HDL-cholesterol dominant 
  patterns in plasma and dolphins and horses showed clear LDL-cholesterol peak 
  which was lower than HDL-cholesterol.
