Improved insulin sensitivity in hyperinsulinaemic ponies through physical conditioning and controlled feed intake

Improved insulin sensitivity in hyperinsulinaemic ponies through physical conditioning and... Summary Ten hyperinsulinaemic ponies divided into conditioned (N = 5) and rested (N = 5) groups were evaluated for their insulin and glucose response following oral glucose administration at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6. All ponies received a controlled intake of a pelleted ration during the study. In both groups body weight had decreased from baseline by Week 4 and remained low. After 2 weeks of exercise, ponies in the conditioned group had significantly decreased insulin and glucose indices, including peak insulin response, area under the insulin curve from 0 to 210 min (TIS), and the TIS value: area under the glucose curve from 0 to 210 min. By Week 4 of conditioning, although the insulin and glucose indices continued to decrease in the exercised ponies, there was no significant difference between the groups. Over the first 6 weeks of the study all ponies improved their insulin sensitivity accompanied by a loss of body weight. The conditioned ponies were further evaluated during deconditioning at Weeks 8, 10 and 12. The improved insulin sensitivity was maintained during deconditioning. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Equine Veterinary Journal Wiley

Abstract

Summary Ten hyperinsulinaemic ponies divided into conditioned (N = 5) and rested (N = 5) groups were evaluated for their insulin and glucose response following oral glucose administration at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6. All ponies received a controlled intake of a pelleted ration during the study. In both groups body weight had decreased from baseline by Week 4 and remained low. After 2 weeks of exercise, ponies in the conditioned group had significantly decreased insulin and glucose indices, including peak insulin response, area under the insulin curve from 0 to 210 min (TIS), and the TIS value: area under the glucose curve from 0 to 210 min. By Week 4 of conditioning, although the insulin and glucose indices continued to decrease in the exercised ponies, there was no significant difference between the groups. Over the first 6 weeks of the study all ponies improved their insulin sensitivity accompanied by a loss of body weight. The conditioned ponies were further evaluated during deconditioning at Weeks 8, 10 and 12. The improved insulin sensitivity was maintained during deconditioning.
