Effects of pasture consumption and obesity on insulin dysregulation and adiponectin concentrations in UK native-breed ponies (2025)
Journal Article
Barnabé, M., Elliott, J., Harris, P., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2025). Effects of pasture consumption and obesity on insulin dysregulation and adiponectin concentrations in UK native-breed ponies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14507

Background Insulin dysregulation (ID) and hypoadiponectinaemia (total [adiponectin] <7.9 mu g/mL) are risk factors for laminitis. They are sometimes, but not always, associated with obesity. Objectives To investigate the effects of pasture consumptio...

Short-term induced hyperinsulinaemia and dexamethasone challenge do not affect circulating total adiponectin concentrations in insulin-sensitive ponies (2023)
Journal Article
Barnabé, M., Elliott, J., Harris, P., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2023). Short-term induced hyperinsulinaemia and dexamethasone challenge do not affect circulating total adiponectin concentrations in insulin-sensitive ponies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14012

BackgroundHypoadiponectinaemia is a risk factor for endocrinopathic laminitis, but the directionality and nature of its association with insulin dysregulation is unclear.ObjectivesTo investigate the effects of short-term induced hyperinsulinaemia and...

Relationships between total adiponectin concentrations and obesity in native-breed ponies in England (2023)
Journal Article
Barnabe, M., Elliott, J., Harris, P., & Menzies-Gow, N. (in press). Relationships between total adiponectin concentrations and obesity in native-breed ponies in England. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14013

Background: Equine metabolic syndrome is a collection of risk factors associated with an increased risk of endocrinopathic laminitis. All affected animals display insulin dysregulation and some may show adiponectin dysregulation and/or excessive adip...
