Effects of pasture consumption and obesity on insulin dysregulation and adiponectin concentrations in UK native-breed ponies. [PDF]
Abstract Background Insulin dysregulation (ID) and hypoadiponectinaemia (total [adiponectin] <7.9 μg/mL) are risk factors for laminitis. They are sometimes, but not always, associated with obesity. Objectives To investigate the effects of pasture consumption and obesity on ID and circulating total [adiponectin] in ponies.
