  3. 2. Reproducerbarhet hos oralt glukostoleranstest för diagnostisering av insulinresistens hos häst

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Ida Askerfelt; [2015]
    Keywords : insulinresistens; oralt glukostoleranstest; ekvint metabolt syndrom; fång; reproducerbarhet; insulin resistance; equine metabolic syndrome; oral glucose tolerance test; laminitis; repeatability;

    Abstract : Ekvint metabolt syndrom är ett relativt nytt begrepp där drabbade hästar kan karaktäriseras av ökad generell och regional fettansättning, rubbningar i glukos- och fettmetabolismen, insulinresistens samt ibland klinisk eller subklinisk fång.
