Only 6 horses were assigned to each treatment (2 treatments).
Very small sample size - unreliable.
All horses were same sex, same breed non-pregnant which is good, however the age range is rather large and work load is not acknowledged; therefore not all variables are controlled.]]> 2017-10-04 11:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791127 https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791458 Obesity can cause insulin resistance and it is thought that high starch and sugar diets exaggerates the onset of this dysfunction. Fermentation of starch in the G.I.T increases postprandial inflammation. ]]> 2017-10-04 11:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791458 https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791609  -STR consumption was linked with peak glucose and insulin concentrations of 170.5 mg/dL and 120.8 mIU/L,  whereas control diet consumption only caused peak glucose and insulin concentrations of 120.8 mg/dL and 33.9 mIU/L.
-One objective was to  determine if feeding a high starch and high-sugar diet would increase plasma LPS concentrations. Minimal changes in LPS concentrations suggest this was not the case. 
-Another was to determine the effects of starch on postprandial inflammatory cytokine concentrations.  ]]> 2017-10-04 11:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791609 https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791680 Low starch control (CON):  Horses ranged averaged 11.7 + 0.9 years and had body condition scores of 6.7 + 0.4.
High starch (STR): 
Horses averaged 12.5 + 0.9 years with body condition scores of 6.7 + 0.4. ]]> 2017-10-04 11:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791680 https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193791824  'Mares were housed in drylots for 30 days before the beginning of the study to allow for acclimation to study conditions'

The horses used were not tested for insulin sensitivity before the start of study but on the first day the fasting insulin concentrations ranged from 0.4 to 16.6mIU/L. These concentrations are below the suggested limit for determining insulin resistance; the data has not been shown in the report. ]]> 2017-10-04 11:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193793552 https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193794634 No difference were detected between measurements made on day one of the study and day 90. No differences were detected for hour after feeding or day of study for horses with initial average or high TNF concentrations. There was also no effect of diet on TNF concentrations. ]]> 2017-10-04 11:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193794634 https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193794677 It is a repeated measures design which eliminated the influence of individual start points

Initial TNF concentrations seemed to positively correlate with initial IL - 1beta concentration; whereas other initial inflammatory protein concentrations were not correlated. ]]> 2017-10-04 11:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/amelia_kenyon/pvchjaq9jdp5/wish/193796686
