Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting (2016)
Journal Article
Knowles, E. J., Harris, P. A., Elliott, J., & Menzies-Gow, N. J. (2016). Use of the oral sugar test in ponies when performed with or without prior fasting. Equine Veterinary Journal, 49, 519-524. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12607

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.

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development? (2016)
Journal Article
Marei, W. F. A., Raheem, K. A., Salavati, M., Tremaine, T., Khalid, M., & Fouladi-Nashta, A. A. (2016). Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development?. Theriogenology, 86(4), 940-948. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2016.03.017

Our aim was to examine size-specific effects of Hyaluronan (HA) on preimplantation embryo development. We investigated the effects of Hyalovet (HA, 500–750 kDa; the size produced by HA synthase-3, which is abundant in the oviduct), or HA treated with...

Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse (2016)
Journal Article
Aleksic, D., Blaschke, L., Missbach, S., Hänske, J., Weiss, W., Handler, J., Zimmermann, W., Cabrera-Sharp, V., Read, J. E., De Mestre, A. M., O’Riordan, R., Moore, T., & Kammerer, R. (2016). Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse. Reproduction, 152, 171-184. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-16-0236

Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family that are secreted by trophoblast cells. PSGs may modulate immune, angiogenic and platelet responses during pregnancy. Until now... Read More about Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse.
