Evaluation of fasting plasma insulin and proxy measurements to assess insulin sensitivity in horses

摘要

Scatterplots of individual horses’ insulin sensitivities (M index) determined by the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp (n = 60) divided into 3 major groups of horses: Warmblood horses (n = 19); Icelandic horses (n = 23) and Pony breeds (n = 18). Horses with normal insulin sensitivity are marked with blue circles whereas horses with insulin resistance are marked with orange squares
