Repeatability of the Combined Glucose-Insulin Tolerance Test and the Effect of a Stressor before Testing in Horses of 2 Breeds

Bröjer, Johan; Truelsen Lindåse, Sanna; Nostell, Katarina

Abstract

Conclusion and Clinical ImportanceRepeatability of the glucose dynamics of the CGIT is low. In addition, there appears to be breed differences in the glucose dynamics. It is therefore suggested that diagnosis of IR should not be made solely based on results from the glucose curve of the CGIT.
