muscle mass

Tutkimuksissa tämä uskomus on kuitenkin todettu pelkäksi luuloksi: Se lihasmassa, joka oriille hormonitoiminnan ansiosta kehittyy, katoaa ruunaamisen jälkeen, ja toisaalta lihasmassan kehittymiseen vaadittava energiankulutus voi rajoittaa nuoren hevosen luuston kasvua.
However, recent studies have shown that this is not so: any apparent muscle mass gained solely from the presence of hormones will be lost over time after the horse is gelded, and in the meantime, the energy spent developing muscle mass may actually take away from the energy a young horse might otherwise put into skeletal growth; the net effect is that castration has no effect on rate of growth (although it may increase the amount of fat the horse carries).
