1. 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
2. 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
3. PMID 41825767 — Temporal variation in incretin and insulin secretion in ponies in association with dietary macronutrients. (Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997), 2026). Abstract (opening): Equine insulin dysregulation (ID) is a common condition that predisposes to hyperinsulinaemia-associated laminitis. Improved pathophysiological understanding would enable better ma
4. PMID 42456998 — Short-Term Effects of Grazing Muzzles on Insulin in Horses with Insulin Dysregulation out at Pasture. (Journal of equine veterinary science, 2026). Abstract (opening): To mitigate insulin response and laminitis risk in insulin dysregulated (ID) horses, current management focuses on restricting pasture exposure and feeding low nonstructural carboh
5. 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
6. PMID 42056832 — Ertugliflozin decreases the insulin spike in non-insulin dysregulated standardbred horses following intra-articular triamcinolone administration. (Domestic animal endocrinology, 2026). Abstract (opening): Horses with equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) are at an increased risk of laminitis following corticosteroid use. Ertugliflozin reduces hyperinsulinemia in horses with EMS, and there
