Oral and intravenous carbohydrate challenges decrease active ghrelin concentrations and alter hormones related to control of energy metabolism in horses

This study tested the hypothesis that grain and intravenous dextrose challenges would alter plasma concentrations of active ghrelin, adiponectin, leptin, glucose, insulin, and cortisol in Standardbred mares. To deliver 0.5 g of glucose (dextrose solution for the intravenous test)/kg of BW, mares rec...
