| description | The aim of this review was to investigate the possible causes and factors related to insulin
resistance. The horse is a grazing animal but domestic horses are today sometimes fed large
amounts of grains and concentrates rich in starch and sugars, which leads to an increased risk
of developing insulin resistance. Some horses seem more prone to develop insulin resistance
than others and factors affecting the susceptibility are age, sex, breed, and diet. In addition to
insulin resistance, related diseases like obesity, laminitis, osteochondrosis and exertional
rhabdomyolosis as well as the impact of training, starch digestion and preventive measures
are discussed. In summary, a balanced energy intake is the most important preventive measure
when it comes to insulin resistance. Effort should also be placed on improving the animals'
body condition through exercise. |

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att utreda vilka faktorer som spelar in vid utveckling av insulinresistens. Evolutionärt sett är hästen ett betande djur och övergången till att bli domesticerat har bland annat inneburit en delvis ändrad diet. Uppstallade hästar får ofta ren spannmål eller spannmålsbaserade koncentrat som komplement till grovfodret vilket beroende på utfodrad mängd kan leda till foderrelaterade sjukdomar som insulinresistens. Vissa hästar har sämre förmåga än andra att stå emot stora mängder stärkelse och socker och faktorer som kan spela in vid utveckling av insulinresistens är utfodring, ålder, kön och ras. Insulinresistens är i sin tur kopplat till sjukdomar som fetma, osteokondros, fång och korsförlamning, men kan förebyggas genom daglig träning och genom en balanserad foderstat där intaget täcker hästens behov av näringsämnen. 2008-08-22 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12188/1/maurer_s_171106.pdf Maurer, Sophie, 2007.
