A review of cellular and molecular mechanisms in endocrinopathic, sepsis-related and supporting limb equine laminitis (2023)
Journal Article
Elliott, J. (2023). A review of cellular and molecular mechanisms in endocrinopathic, sepsis-related and supporting limb equine laminitis. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13933

Equine laminitis has both fascinated and frustrated veterinary researchers and clinicians for many years. The recognition that many ponies suffering from pasture associated laminitis have an insulin dysregulated phenotype (endocrinopathic laminitis,...

Nitric oxide synthase inhibition reveals differences in the nitric oxide pathway in previously laminitic ponies. (2022)
Journal Article
Finding, E., Elliott, J., Harris, P., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2022). Nitric oxide synthase inhibition reveals differences in the nitric oxide pathway in previously laminitic ponies. Research in Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rvsc.2022.05.012

Previously laminitic (PL) ponies are reported to have higher blood pressure than non laminitic (NL) ponies. This relative hypertension may be related to endothelial cell dysfunction, similar to humans with metabolic syndrome. To investigate the relat...

New concepts in phosphorus homeostasis and its impact on renal health with particular reference to the cat (2022)
Journal Article
Elliott, J., & Geddes, R. F. (2022). New concepts in phosphorus homeostasis and its impact on renal health with particular reference to the cat. The Veterinary Journal, 283-284, Article 105842. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2022.105842

New discoveries relating to phosphorus homeostasis include the hormones fibroblast growth factor-23 and klotho produced by bone and kidney. These hormones, together with novel understanding of how calcium and phosphate ions are carried in colloidal f...

Predictors of laminitis development in a cohort of non-laminitic ponies (2021)
Journal Article
Knowles, E., Elliott, J., Harris, P., Chang, R., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2021). Predictors of laminitis development in a cohort of non-laminitic ponies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.31_13492

Background: Quantifying the risk of laminitis development requires improvement. Objectives: To identify the most useful physical examination, metabolic and management factors to predict future laminitis development in client-owned, non-laminitic pon...
