Glucose and insulin dynamics in late gestation mares and neonatal foals
Insulin sensitivity decreases during pregnancy, presumably an adaptation ensuring sufficient glucose supply to feto-placental tissues. Feeds high in non-structural carbohydrates are also linked to diminished insulin sensitivity in horses. Because the equine fetus is highly glucose reliant, maternal …

Glucose and insulin dynamics associated with continuous infusion of dextrose or dextrose and insulin in healthy and endotoxin-exposed horses
The objective of the study was to investigate and characterize the effects of a continuous rate infusion of dextrose or dextrose and insulin on glucose and insulin dynamics in both healthy and endotoxin-exposed horses. Administration of a low dose of endotoxin has been used in horses to mimic the …

A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of pioglitazone in a model of induced insulin resistance in normal horses
… condition of horses characterized by adiposity, insulin resistance, and an increased risk of laminitis. Reducing insulin resistance may decrease the incidence of laminitis in horses with EMS. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione class of anti-diabetic drug, has proven efficacy in humans with type 2 …

Equine obesity and its role in insulin resistance, inflammation and risk for laminitis
… conducted to determine the effects of obesity on insulin resistance, inflammatory state and risk for laminitis, and the effectiveness of exercise training to reduce obesity and insulin resistance in equids. Practical methods of assessing adiposity were developed and verified, including a condition …

Glucose regulation in Thoroughbred weanlings: Regulation by insulin, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I
… carbohydrates induce a hyperglycemic/insulinemic response and may increase the incidence of metabolic disorders associated with some types of laminitis, exertional rhabdomyolysis and osteochondrosis in horses. This study applied the minimal model of glucose and insulin dynamics to …

Physiological response of grazing horses to seasonal fluctuations in pasture nonstructural carbohydrates
… an essential part of the equine diet for health and performance. Pasture nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) have been shown to fluctuate diurnally and seasonally throughout the year due to various factors including environmental conditions and plant stress. The intake of elevated NSC content is …
