The effect of equine metabolic syndrome on the ovarian follicular environment.

Journal of animal science, 2014
Obesity in many species is associated with reduced fertility and increased risk of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular dysfunction in offspring. Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is associated with obesity and characterized by insulin resistance, decreased adiponectin, and elevated insulin, leptin, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. These alterations can

Practical management of equine metabolic syndrome

Livestock, 2014
Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a clinical syndrome, the components of which are increased adiposity, hyperinsulinaemia and insulin dysregulation resulting in a predisposition to developing laminitis. It has been described as EMS because it has many similarities to metabolic syndrome in man, which designates a set of risk factors which predispose ...

Equine syndrome X, the metabolic disease, and equine grain-associated disorders

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2003
In 1988, a Stanford endocrinologist suggested that a high-carbohydrate diet aggravated or exacerbated a predisposition to insulin resistance, which he identified as a primary factor in the etiology of obesity, non–insulin– mediated or type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and, surprisingly, coronary heart disease.1 This is surprising because the high ...

Advanced nutritional and stem cells approaches to prevent equine metabolic syndrome

Research in Veterinary Science, 2018
Horses metabolic disorders have become an important problem of modern veterinary medicine. Pathological obesity, insulin resistance and predisposition toward laminitis are associated with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). Based on pathogenesis of EMS, dietary and cell therapy management may significantly reduce development of this disorder.

Hyperandrogenemia and behavioural changes in a mare with equine metabolic syndrome

Equine Veterinary Education
Summary Hyperandrogenemia and elevated serum anti‐Mullerian hormone (AMH), as well as an increased risk to develop cancer, are well described in women with metabolic syndrome (MS). This case report describes a mare presenting with a 1‐year history of behavioural changes making her unable to be ridden, lack of signs of oestrus ...

Equine metabolic syndrome and Cushing's disease clinical trial

Veterinary Record, 2008
SIR, — The Laminitis Clinic is beginning a clinical trial to investigate the effects of a new product on cases of equine metabolic syndrome and Cushing's disease. Preliminary findings have been encouraging, with normalisation of blood insulin, cortisol and glucose concentrations ...

The equine metabolic syndrome peripheral Cushing's syndrome.

The Veterinary clinics of North America. Equine practice, 2005
Certain management practices tend to promote the development of obesity (metabolic syndrome) in mature horses as they enter their teenage years. These management practices include the provision of starch-rich (high glycemic index) and fat-supplemented rations to healthy horses that are relatively inactive.

Iatrogenic equine metabolic syndrome in thoroughbred horses

2009
Reasons for performing study: Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a cluster of problem that includes obesity, insulin resistance and laminitis. In EMS peripheral adipocytes synthesize adipokines which are analogous to cortisol, resulting in Cushing syndrome like-signs and insulin resistance. The used of dexamethasone and triancinolone is very common and
