Investigation into the diagnosis and pathogenesis of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction
The thesis investigates a degenerative disease called PPID that affects older horses. Currently, the diagnosis of PPID relies on measuring a hormone known as ACTH, but this method may not be reliable. The study aimed to better understand PPID, and to identify other blood markers that could be used to develop a better diagnostic test.
