Insulin resistance and dysregulation in the horse: potential role of diet and exercise
Equine obesity is increasingly being recognised as a globally important welfare issue due to a variety of associated adverse consequences including orthopaedic disease, hyperlipaemia, hyperthermia, infertility and poor performance but perhaps most importantly laminitis. It was only in the 1980s that the potential link between obesity and insulin resistance was recognised and suggested as an alternative explanation for why certain individuals appeared more susceptible to laminitis, rather than excessive adiposity alone. What will I gain from watching this webinar?This webinar will discuss how definitions and terminology h...

Fasting and energy restrictions: the impact on metabolic health
Our lives are characterised by repeating cycles in our environment, behaviour and physiology. In particular, with each passing day and night we experience regular transitions between light and dark, wakefulness and sleep, activity and rest - that may or may not be aligned with our daily meal patterns. There are various opportunities to eat or not to eat over the course of each 24-h period, each with the potential to improve or impair metabolic health.This talk will consider the typical series of eating occasions from shortly after waking on one day until shortly before waking on the next. Specifically, we will firstly cons...
