Straightforward testing procedures are needed to facilitate the diagnosis of insulin dysregulation in horses because hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are associated with laminitis. Results of an oral sugar test COST) were compared with those of the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT). We hypothesized that OST and IVGTT area under the curve values for glucose (AUCg) and insulin (AUCi) would be closely correlated, as defined by a correlation coefficient value >= 0.90. Both tests were performed in 10 horses meeting the criteria for equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and 8 Quarter horse crossbred mares from a university teaching herd (control group). The OST was also performed in 21 Quarter horse crossbred mares from the same herd, and test repeatability was evaluated in 8 of these horses. All testing was performed under fasting conditions. Median AUCg and AUCi values were 1.3- and 9.0-fold higher, respectively, for the IVGTT and 1.3- and 6.8-fold higher, respectively, for the OST in the EMS group than those in the control group. AUCg (Spearman correlation coefficient [r(s)] = 0.58; P =.012) and AUCi (r(s) = 0.90; P <.001) values for the two tests were positively correlated. Mean +/- SD coefficients of variation for repeated tests in 8 mares were 6.4% +/- 3.1% and 45.1% +/- 36.2% for AUCg and AUCi, respectively. We conclude that OST and IVGTT insulin results are closely correlated, so the OST warrants further consideration as a field test for insulin dysregulation in horses. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
