Measurement of insulin resistance in horses
Frequently-sampled insulin-modified intravenous glucose tolerance tests in horses and ponies.
The Veterinary Inflammation and Metabolism research group offers frequently-sampled insulin-modified intravenous glucose tolerance tests in horses and ponies.
We are one of the few centres that is experienced in this very sensitive, gold-standard measurement of insulin sensitivity in horses and ponies. This is useful in studies of equine metabolic syndrome and PPID, and interventional studies to evaluate novel therapeutics for these conditions.
