   Abstract : Fång är ett ökande problem i hästpopulationen och ett samband mellan fetma, insulinresistens och en förhöjd risk för fång har setts i ett flertal studier. Fältdiagnostiken för påvisande av insulinresistens är idag mycket begränsad och de metoder som framför allt används, mätning av fasteinsulin- och fasteglukoskoncentrationer via blodprov, har visat sig ha låg tillförlitlighet och reproducerbarhet.
