There were studies at Washington State about 20 years ago that looked at
muscle glycogen on endurance horses post-competition via biopsy. Many were
depleted or near depletion, but the horses were having no problems
maintaining blood glucose or energy levels, as I recall. I don't remember
what other parameters, if any, were studied.
