Serum insulin concentration and plasma glucose, triglyceride, uric acid, and ACTH concentrations were measured.

However, in June, laminitis-prone ponies had increased serum insulin concentration and plasma triglyceride and uric acid concentrations, compared with control ponies. Also, laminitis-prone ponies were relatively insulin resistant, compared with control ponies. Mean blood pressure was significantly higher during summer in laminitis-prone ponies (median [interquartile range], 89.6 mm Hg [78.3 to 96.9 mm Hg]), compared with control ponies (76.8 mm Hg [69.4 to 85.2 mm Hg]).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Summer pastures appear to induce metabolic responses in some ponies, leading to expression of the prelaminitic phenotype, which includes hypertension as well as insulin resistance. Signs of this metabolic syndrome may not be apparent in affected ponies during periods of grazing winter pasture. Understanding this syndrome may enable improved countermeasures to be devised to prevent laminitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.69.1.122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,1]],"date-time":"2008-01-01T21:52:34Z","timestamp":1199224354000},"page":"122-129","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":165,"title":["Hypertension
