Effect of varying the dose of corn syrup on the insulin and glucose response to the oral sugar test (2018)
Journal Article
Jocelyn, N. A., Harris, P. A., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2018). Effect of varying the dose of corn syrup on the insulin and glucose response to the oral sugar test. Equine Veterinary Journal, 50(6), 836-841. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12826

After an overnight fast, in a three‐way randomised crossover study with a 7‐day washout, 0.15, 0.3 or 0.45 mL/kg bwt corn syrup was administered orally to eight ponies (5 PL and 3 NL) and blood obtained between 0 and 120 min. Serum [insulin] and [glu... Read More about Effect of varying the dose of corn syrup on the insulin and glucose response to the oral sugar test.

Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting (2016)
Journal Article

Background It is recommended that the Oral Sugar Test (OST) for insulin dysregulation (ID) is performed after an overnight fast but fasting is impractical in ponies kept solely at pasture. There are few data on OST repeatability and reliability in p... Read More about Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting.
