Relationship Between β‐cell Response and Insulin Sensitivity in Horses based on the Oral Sugar Test and the Euglycemic Hyperinsulinemic Clamp

Background A hyperbolic relationship between β‐cell response and insulin sensitivity ( IS ) has been described in several species including rodents, dogs, and humans. This relationship has not been elucidated in the horse. Hypothesis/Objectives To determine whether the hyperbolic relationship between β‐cell response and IS exists in horses by using indices of β‐cell response from the oral sugar test ( OST ) and IS measurements from the...
