چکیده انگلیسی
Equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is known to alter glucose/insulin metabolism. This study evaluated changes in parameters relating to glucose/insulin metabolism and determined whether there is a difference between pergolide-treated and untreated animals. We hypothesized that glucose/insulin dynamics in PPID horses receiving pergolide would be different than those in untreated horses. A total of 38 horses with diagnoses of PPID were included in the study (average age: 24 years). A total of 25 horses were untreated; 13 horses were treated with pergolide (>3 months). Parameters relating to glucose/insulin metabolism were determined in all horses, as follows: adrenocorticotropin-releasing hormone (ACTH), insulin, fructosamine, triglyceride, glucose, modified insulin-to-glucose ratio (MIRG), and reciprocal of the square root of insulin (RISQI). A combined glucose-insulin test (CGIT) was performed in 23 horses as not all owners agreed to the testing. Treated animals showed a tendency to have lower ACTH, but results were not significant. All animals had fructosamine levels exceeding reference values (mean value 314 ± 32 μmol/L; reference range: <280 μmol/L). There were no statistically significant differences between insulin, glucose, ACTH, triglycerides concentrations, RISQI/MIRG calculations, and CGIT results of pergolide-treated PPID and those of untreated horses. Five horses (13.2%) had combined hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia, whereas 7 horses (18.4%) displayed hyperglycemia, and 3 horses (7.9%) showed hyperinsulinemia alone. Forty percent of the horses with altered glucose/insulin metabolism were treated with pergolide. Based on RISQI and MIRG calculations, 19 animals displayed changes in glucose/insulin metabolism. Fourteen of twenty-three horses (61%) showed signs of insulin resistance in CGIT results. In conclusion, PPID horses frequently show alterations in glucose/insulin metabolism, but no significant differences were found between treated and untreated animals. Changes in insulin/glucose dynamics may not be a useful indicator of response to pergolide treatment.
