Equine Glucose Tolerance1

J. S. Mehring and W. J. Tyznik

Abstract

The intravenous glucose tolerance test was used to study the kinetics of equine glucose utilization. Comparison of glucose half-lives, utilization rates, tolerance times and increment indices in ponies with these parameters in other species indicated that the removal rate of exogenous glucose from the blood of ponies is slower than in nonruminants, such as man, but faster than in adult ruminants, such as sheep.
