PMID 42278060 — The Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Horses' Nutrition-A Review. (Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026). Abstract (opening): This narrative review presents examples of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in horse nutrition. Fats are essential in equine nutrition, serving not only as an energy source but \n2. PMID 42031305 — Integrating clinical and rna-seq findings in a mare with recurrent endocrinopathic laminitis linked to equine metabolic syndrome. (Journal of equine veterinary science, 2026). Abstract (opening): Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is characterized by insulin dysregulation and obesity, which increase the risk of the development of hyperinsulinemia-induced laminitis (HAL). The p\n3. PMID 42221961 — Metabolic effects and pharmacokinetics of oral cannabidiol (CBD) in Connemara ponies following 21 days of treatment. (Frontiers in veterinary science, 2026). Abstract (opening): Cannabidiol (CBD) has gained interest in equine medicine due to its potential therapeutic effects. Preclinical studies suggest that CBD may influence metabolic pathways relevant to\n4. PMID 41302145 — Forage Carbohydrate Profiles and Endocrine Morphometric Interactions in Traditionally Managed Horses from Romania. (Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025). Abstract (opening): Horses maintained under traditional management systems and dependent on natural forages are often exposed to seasonal and compositional variations that can affect metabolic homeost\n5. PMID 41594457 — The Effect of Seasonal Changes in Non-Structural Carbohydrates in Pasture on the Metabolic Profile of Horses with Laminitis. (Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026). Abstract (opening): This study aimed to examine the seasonal dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in pasture and their relationship to metabolic indicators in horses with a history of laminitis. T\n6. PMID 41742515 — Assessment of baseline adrenocorticotropic hormone and insulin concentrations in healthy horses in Saskatchewan over a 1-year period. (Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 2026). Abstract (opening): Endocrine disorders in horses, such as pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction and equine metabolic syndrome, rely on hormone testing for diagnosis, but seasonal and regional variabi\n\nNote: study selection and synthesis are left to the API consumer; this topic only surfaces primary sources with verbatim abstract openings.\n\nSource text: `pdf-raw/evidence/europepmc_evidence_equine_obesity_ems_diet_2026-07-22.txt` (Europe PMC REST + PubMed efetch, 2026-07-22).\n","sources":[],"tokens_estimated":260,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
