Observational analysis highlights associations among laminitis, obesity, and insulin levels in mares, suggesting complex metabolic interactions.

Laminitis was linked to lower glucose levels and body weight, indicating a relationship between obesity and metabolic issues.
Obesity correlated with increased glucose levels and decreased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), pointing to metabolic consequences of excess weight.
Hyperinsulinemia resulted in significant reductions in albumin and glucose/insulin ratio, suggesting insulin resistance in affected mares.
Obesity does not always correlate with hyperinsulinemia, revealing a complex interplay between body fat and metabolic health.

Aboelmaaty et al. (2025) studied this question.
