Johnson1 proposed that obesity, insulin resistance (IR), and laminitis were components of a
clinical syndrome recognized in horses and ponies. The study of EMS is therefore in its …

Veterinarians have long recognized that obese horses and ponies are prone to laminitis, but
the concept of an equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) was first proposed by Johnson 1 in …

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of prolonged administration of insulin,
whilst maintaining normal glucose concentrations, on hoof lamellar integrity in vivo on …

Background Certain individuals appear to be predisposed to recurrent pasture‐associated
laminitis. Previous studies have predominantly investigated risk factors only after disease …

Objective—To determine the metabolic phenotype of a group of laminitis-prone ponies when
at pasture in summer, compared with when at pasture in winter. Animals—40 ponies of …

Reasons for performing study: Increased prevalence of obesity among UK horses and
ponies demands evidence‐based advice to promote weight loss. Hypothesis: Restriction of …

Equine veterinarians have long recognized an association between metabolic
abnormalities, notably obesity and insulin resistance (IR), and increased risk for laminitis in …

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between laminitis development in
ponies and insulin/glucose concentrations in response to the oral glucose test (OGT) and a …

Laminitis, failure of the distal phalanx to maintain its attachment to the lamellae of the inner
hoof wall, causes unrelenting pain and a characteristic lameness. During a developmental …

With the increasing number of studies being published on the different experimental models
used to induce and study acute laminitis, the pathophysiological events associated with …
