Q

What is the most common reason for euthanasia in horses with PPID?

A

Laminitis

88
Q

What is the definition of EMS?

A

Cluster of clinnical/metabolic abnormalities associated with an increased risk of laminitis

89
Q

Are all horses with EMS obese?

A

No. May be obese but not necessarily

90
Q

What are the key features of EMS?

A

Insulin dysfunction

Increased fasting triglyceride concentration

Altered adipokine concentrations

+/- obesity

91
Q

What is the pathogenesis of EMS leading to laminitis?

A

Increased Water Soluble Carbohydrates (eg from grazing grass)

Pronounced insulinaemic response (more so than normal)

High levels of insulin induces laminitis by affecting endothelial cells of blood vessels in feet

Also carbohydrate overload in the hindgut –> inflammatory mediators released –> injury to lamellae

92
Q

Is EMS entirely environmental?

A

No, environmental risk and environment risk

93
Q

What is the signalment for EMS?

A

Develops <15

pos genetic link

Ponies, morgans and arabs over represented

94
Q

Where might the EMS horses have regional adiposity?

A

Crest, Tailhead, Prepuce and mammary region

NB there is a lean phenotype, don’t have to be fat

95
Q

What is the main history sign associated with EMS?

A

Recurrent laminitis with no obvious cause

96
Q

How do you decide if these EMS potential cases have insulin dysfunction?

A

Resting glucose and insulin concentrations, fast for 6 hrs sample in morning

97
Q

What is a combined glucose-insulin test?

A

Fast for 6 hours

Insert jugular catheter

Infuse dextrose over 1 min

Immediately follow by insulin

Collect blood at 0,1,5,25,35,45,60,75,90,105,120,135 and 150

IR= blood glucose over baseline AND insulin >100 at 45 mins

98
Q

What sort of diet should you give fat EMS ponies?

A

Limit soluble carbohydrate intake

feed only hay

feed 1.5% of body weight

Can soak hay to make it more rubbish

Add vitamin and mineral supplement if soaking hay

Can add beet pulp if owner insists needs dinner!

99
Q

Why is it good to exercise EMS ponies even if they’re not overweight?

A

Promotes glucose uptake and use by skeletal muscle

Improves insulin sensitivity

Reduces inflammation if results in weight loss as pro inflammatory cytokines play a role in this

Decreases feed intake

100
Q

What is metformin and is it useful in horses?

A

Improves insulin sensitivity in humans, not really in horses, only 7% absorption! Seems to reduce GI glucose absorption though possibly

101
Q

Why do we use thyroxine in some EMS horses?

A

Increases metabolic rate resulting in weight loss

Prohibitively expensive in the UK as have to use dog and cat stuff

102
Q

Insulin sensitising supplements have no evidence!

A
