Equine insulin dysregulation (ID) comprises amplified insulin responses to oral
carbohydrates or insulin resistance, or both, which leads to sustained or periodic …

Background Equine endocrinopathic laminitis is common and can be associated with an
underlying endocrinopathy, such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), pituitary pars …

Several tests have been advocated for diagnosis of insulin dysregulation (ID). Tests using
simple sugars may not reflect the response to naturally ingested carbohydrates. This study …

Background The oral sugar test (OST) is used to identify equine insulin dysregulation (ID);
however only a dose of 0.15 mL/kg bwt corn syrup has been evaluated. Objectives To …

Seasonal effects on the oral sugar test (OST), used to monitor insulin dysregulation (ID)
status to help reduce laminitis risk, are poorly understood in the ID horse. Resting,(basal) …

Abstract Information about the effect of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) in forage on the
postprandial glucose and insulin response in horses is scarce. This is of interest as …

Straightforward testing procedures to enable the diagnosis of insulin dysregulation (ID) in
horses that are suitable for use in daily veterinary practice are needed because of the risk …

Weight loss plans in horses typically use dietary restriction, but exercise may have additional
benefits. This study aimed to compare the effects of a diet or exercise protocol resulting in …

Background Proxies are mathematical calculations based on fasting glucose and/or insulin
concentrations developed to allow prediction of insulin sensitivity (IS) and β-cell response …

Background Decreasing hyperinsulinemia is crucial in preventing laminitis in insulin
dysregulated (ID) horses. Complementary pharmacological treatments that efficiently …
