  • Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS)
    Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) 2016 GROUP GROUP Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) June 2016 Prepared by the EMS Working Group Nicholas Frank (Group Coordinator; Tufts University), Simon Bailey (University of Melbourne), Andy Durham (Liphook Equine Hospital), Janice Kritchevsky (Purdue University), Nicola Menzies-Gow (Royal Veterinary College), and Lisa Tadros (Michigan State University) Introduction Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), which is characterized by insulin dysregulation, abnormal adipose distribution, and a high risk for laminitis, results from an interaction between genetics and environment. The risk of laminitis in the individual animal therefore depends on the relative weighting of genetic and environmental influences. We can identify high-genetic risk animals that develop EMS with only mild environmental influences, and early detection is essential in these animals. Other horses have a lower genetic influence, but can develop EMS through exposure to improper environments (diets that provide more calories than an animal requires and are high in non-structural carbohydrates). It might therefore be assumed that any horse can develop EMS if pushed far enough in the wrong direction by improper management and exposure to environmental factors. Epigenetic influences on gene expression might also further the development of EMS. The Equine Endocrinology Group (EEG) is composed of experts in the field of equine endocrinology who provide advice in the form of written guidelines to help veterinary practitioners diagnose and manage equine endocrine disorders. Guidelines are updated every two years or when new information becomes available, and can be found on the EEG web site: http://sites.tufts.edu/equineendogroup.

  • Equine Metabolic Syndrome
    Equine Metabolic Syndrome a,b, Nicholas Frank, DVM, PhD * KEYWORDS Obesity Regional adiposity Hyperinsulinemia Insulin resistance Laminitis Veterinarians have long recognized that obese horses and ponies are prone to lami- nitis, but the concept of an equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) was first proposed by Johnson1 in 2002. This concept has developed over time, and EMS was recently described in a consensus statement released by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.2 In human medicine, metabolic syndrome (MetS) refers to a set of risk factors that predict the risk of cardiovascular disease,3 including obesity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia, microalbuminuria, and hypertension. Associated conditions in humans include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovary syndrome. EMS shares some of the features of MetS, including obesity, IR, and dyslipidemia, but differs in that laminitis is the primary disease of interest. COMPONENTS OF THE SYNDROME EMS is not a specific disease entity, but rather a clinical syndrome associated with laminitis.4,5 Increased adiposity, hyperinsulinemia, and IR are the 3 principal compo- nents of this syndrome, and it is difficult to separate these factors from one another. Hyperinsulinemia is detected in most insulin resistant horses and affected animals are usually obese or exhibit regional adiposity (Fig. 1). One or all of these factors may determine laminitis susceptibility, but it is also conceivable that another, as yet unidentified, factor predisposes

  • What Is Equine Metabolic Syndrome?
    What is Equine Metabolic Syndrome? The term “equine metabolic syndrome”, or EMS, was developed to describe the collection of risk factors associated with the disease. These include: obesity, insulin resistance (IR), and laminitis in horses and ponies. Horses with EMS can also concurrently have Pars Pituitary Intermedia Disease (PPID), also known as Equine Cushings Disease. Stock horse mare with regional adiposity - fat deposits in the neck, withers, croup or base of the tail. Hyperinsulinaemia or Insulin Sensitivity Hyperinsulinemia (high insulin in the blood) and insulin sensitivity are now highly recognised as an important factor in the development of laminitis in horses and ponies. Horses which already have high insulin are unable to regulate their blood glucose the same as a normal horse. Therefore, when a horse who is obese (highly likely to also have high insulin) continues to eat a high sugar diet (eg. green grass or high grain feeds) they will continue to have high levels of circulating insulin. Why does this cause laminitis? The research is still continuing. However, it is believed that the laminae are highly sensitive to the large amounts of circulating insulin, resulting in the development of laminitis. When should you be concerned? Because laminitis affects a horse’s quality of life and can lead to death, horse owners need to be aware of the risk factors for EMS. Initially you should be concerned if you’d call your horse a “good doer” or “easy keeper”. These horses need a lower plane of nutrition. Although breeds such as the pony breeds, Arabians, Morgans and Quarter Horses mostly fall into this category, any horse or pony can be at risk.
