Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, and Metabolic Syndrome in Horses

Abstract: Abbreviations: (CGIT) combined intravenous glucose-insulin test, (DM) diabetes mellitus, (EMS) equine metabolic syndrome, (HbA1c) glycosylated hemoglobin, (IR) AbstractAnalogous to the situation in human medicine, contemporary practices in horse management, which incorporate lengthy periods of physical inactivity coupled with provision of nutritional rations characterized by inappropriately high sugar and starch, have led to obesity being more commonly recognized by practitioners of equine veterinary practi… Show more

“…Horses are at an increased risk of laminitis, and EMS is also the cause of hyperlipidaemia syndrome (hepatic lipidosis) and osteochondrosis in young horses (Johnson et al 2012). Despite a strong correlation between obesity and IR, the latter and other metabolic disorders have been reported in horses with normal body weight, but such animals are often characterized by abnormal distribution of adipose tissue (Frank 2009).…”

“…Other diseases accompanying equine obesity and IR have been rarely described (Wylie & Collins 2010;Johnson et al 2012;Tadros & Frank 2013). Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by the lack of insulin secretion by beta cells of the pancreas as a result of their destruction (due to viral or immune-mediated disease), whereas type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), characterized by relatively reduced insulin secretion, is a complex metabolic disorder that develops due to chronic hyperinsulinemia.…”

“…Diante do exposto, clonidina e rilmenidina podem ser úteis se aplicadas no tratamento de doenças que provoquem dores agudas e/ou crônicas associadas a quadros de hipertensão arterial, como ocorre, por exemplo, na laminite (17,18) , ou como adjuvantes quando aplicadas em protocolos de analgesia multimodal. Sabendo-se que, apesar de serem efetivos no controle da dor, alguns analgésicos atualmente utilizados podem predispor a importantes reações adversas quando utilizados por períodos prolongados, como é o caso, por exemplo, dos anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais (13) , a busca por fármacos com maior eficiência analgésica e menores efeitos colaterais se torna um desafio de impacto direto sobre a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar dos animais.…”
