Metformin 30-39 INS Equus caballus 94-101 23600690-3 2013 OBJECTIVES: To determine whether pretreatment with metformin reduces plasma glucose concentration and insulin responses following consumption of dextrose in horses. Metformin 51-60 INS Equus caballus 102-109 23600690-9 2013 RESULTS: In healthy horses, the administration of metformin resulted in a statistically significant reduction in peak glucose concentration (P = 0.002), area under the glucose curve (P<0.001) and insulin concentration 120 min after dextrose administration (P = 0.011). Metformin 50-59 INS Equus caballus 199-206 23600690-10 2013 Following the induction of IR, administration of metformin was associated with significant differences in peak glucose concentration (P<0.001), the percentage increase in glucose concentration (P = 0.010), the area under the glucose curve (P<0.001) and insulin concentration at 120 min (P = 0.034) and 150 min after dextrose administration (P = 0.014). Metformin 49-58 INS Equus caballus 259-266 16930507-6 2006 Experiment 2 was designed to investigate the effects of administration of the insulin-sensitising drug metformin hydrochloride on insulin sensitivity and the characteristics of the oestrous cycle in obese mares. Metformin 103-126 INS Equus caballus 78-85 20919907-9 2010 CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Metformin reportedly enhances insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues without stimulating insulin secretion, but bioavailability in horses is low. Metformin 36-45 INS Equus caballus 66-73 16930507-6 2006 Experiment 2 was designed to investigate the effects of administration of the insulin-sensitising drug metformin hydrochloride on insulin sensitivity and the characteristics of the oestrous cycle in obese mares. Metformin 103-126 INS Equus caballus 130-137 16930507-0 2006 Obesity is associated with altered metabolic and reproductive activity in the mare: effects of metformin on insulin sensitivity and reproductive cyclicity. Metformin 95-104 INS Equus caballus 108-115 16930507-7 2006 In a dose-response trial, metformin increased insulin sensitivity after 30 days following administration of 3 g day(-1), but not 6 or 9 g day(-1), compared with controls receiving vehicle only.
