The effects of dietary energy source, controlled weight gain, and exercise restriction on
insulin sensitivity (SI) were studied in mature Thoroughbred geldings with body condition …

Diets high in concentrates and soluble carbohydrates are associated with reduced insulin
sensitivity in horses. Exercise training could protect against diet-induced insulin resistance …

OBJECTIVE To quantify insulin sensitivity and monitor glucose, insulin, and lipid
concentrations in a group of moderately insulin-resistant horses during induction of obesity …

Insulin resistance is considered a risk factor in obesity, laminitis, exertional rhabdomyolysis,
and osteochondrosis. The objective was to use the minimal model to estimate glucose …

Reasons for performing study: There is evidence that adaptation to diets rich in nonstructural
carbohydrates (NSC) contributes to the development of insulin resistance in horses. To date …

Twelve untrained aged mares were used to determine whether 7 days of light exercise
improved peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity. Mares were divided into obese‐exercised (n …

Reasons for performing study: To study the possible long‐term effect of improved glucose
tolerance in horses after long‐term training, as the impact of exercise training on glucose …

Multiple dynamic field tests are used for assessment of equine insulin resistance or altered
insulin regulation. However, the relationship between markers of glucose homeostasis and …

Reasons for performing study: Increased insulin sensitivity occurs after a period of exercise
training, but the mechanisms underlying this training‐associated increase in insulin action …

Reasons for performing study: Starch rich (S) feeds reduce insulin sensitivity in untrained
horses when compared to high fat (F) feeds, but insulin sensitivity is not affected when S or F …
