Association between hyperinsulinaemia and laminitis severity at the time of pituitary <i>pars intermedia</i> dysfunction diagnosis

Abstract

Although radiographic abnormalities were present in most animals at the time of PPID diagnosis, chronic laminitis remained unrecognised by many owners. Owner awareness of laminitis increased with severity of hyperinsulinaemia and higher insulin concentrations were detected in association with more severe radiographic changes.
