Insulin resistance is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of many equine conditions
such as pars intermedia dysfunction, equine metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus …

Blood concentrations of insulin and glucose can reflect endocrine abnormalities such as
pituitary dysfunction and polysaccharide storage myopathies, especially if measured after a …

The relationships between diet, obesity and insulin dysregulation in equids require further
investigation due to their association with laminitis. This study examined the effect of dietary …

Reasons for performing study The relative influences of obesity and adaptation to high
glycaemic diets on the development of insulin dysregulation in equids are unclear …

The effect of dietary starch and fat content on serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and
substrate availability was evaluated in 4 mares of Quarter Horse‐related breeds with …

The aim of this study was to determine whether the glycaemic/insulinaemic responses to hay
with non‐structural carbohydrate (NSC, soluble carbohydrate) of 17%(HC), 10%(MC) or …

Specific quantitative methods for determining insulin resistance have been applied to
obesity, activity/inactivity, reproductive efficiency, and exercise in horses, but only …

This article reviews the effects of diet on equine feeding behavior and feeding patterns,
before considering the evidence that diet affects reactivity in horses. A growing body of work …

The glucose tolerance test in the horse may be used to determine metabolic responses to
diet, disease, or physiologic state. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of …

Background Age and diet may affect insulin sensitivity (SI) but these factors have received
limited investigation in horses. Objectives To measure minimal model parameters during an …
