osteochondrosis/obesity

Obesity is a growing concern in horses. The effects of maternal obesity on maternal metabolism and low-grade inflammation during pregnancy, as well as offspring growth, metabolism, low-grade inflammation, testicular maturation and osteochondrotic lesions until 18 months of age were

Insulin resistance is considered a risk factor in obesity, laminitis, exertional rhabdomyolysis, and osteochondrosis. The objective was to use the minimal model to estimate glucose effectiveness (Sg) and insulin sensitivity (Si) in nonobese to obese horses initially adapted to forage only, then

There is growing recognition that obesity is common and represents a significant detriment to the health of companion animals in a manner similar to that by which it is affecting the human population. As is the case for other species, obesity appears to promote insulin resistance in horses and it is

Sever's disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, is the primary cause of heel pain in pediatric patients between the ages of 8 and 15 years. Primary risk factors in pediatric athletes are obesity and high levels of physical activity. Sever's injury primarily results from high-impact sports such as soccer,

In a cadaveric biostatic model the pressure distribution at the weightbearing ankle has been investigated under different joint positions and stages of artificial lateral ligament dissection mimicking a supination trauma. The location of the transduced contact area, the size of these areas and

To determine if a high-fat diet (HF) from weaning would result in a pro-inflammatory state and affect joint cartilage, we fed male rats either HF or Chow diet post-weaning, and voluntary wheel exercise (EX) or cage only activity (SED) after 9 weeks of age. At 17 weeks body composition, plasma

Derangement of the caudal cruciate ligament was identified in 11 broiler fowls aged between 18 and 38 weeks. In some cases, the caudal cruciate ligament alone was ruptured, whereas, in others, the caudal meniscofemoral and meniscotibial ligaments and medial meniscus were also deranged. In some

BACKGROUND Osteochondrosis includes numerous diseases that occur during rapid growth, characterized by disturbances of endochondral ossification. One example, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, is characterized by disruption of the blood supply to the femoral head epiphysis, and a systemic etiology often

The objective of the present study was to estimate the diagnostic value of the characteristics of somatic pathology included in the algorithm for early diagnostics of occupational sensorineural impairment of hearing (OSNIH). The relationship between the development of the main nosological forms of

Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) play important roles during growth, including effects on enchondral ossification. GH plasma concentration is strongly influenced by the nutritional status of the dog. Fasting induces a non-responsiveness of the liver to GH, leading to a

Adaptive potential of the circulatory system was estimated in 223 patients with non-coronary myocardial lesions (80 patients had spinal osteochondrosis with cardialgia, 78 patients were obese and 65 patients had neurocirculatory asthenia of the cardial type) in tests with submaximal exercise. 21

Insulin resistance is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of many equine conditions such as pars intermedia dysfunction, equine metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipaemia, laminitis, endotoxaemia and osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD); whereas polysaccharide storage myopathy in Quarter

Introduction: osteochondrosis of ischiopubic synchondrosis (IPS)" also known as van Neck- Odelberg disease (VNOD), is a syndrome characterized by an atypical ossification pattern of the ischiopubic joint. Because of its non-unequivocal

Renal biopsy of 32 patients who developed renal complications after treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were studied. The treatment with NSAIDs in these cases was used for many reasons such as: headaches, toothaches, dysmenorrea, osteochondrosis, polyarthritis and acute

OBJECTIVE To characterize prevalence and features of rheumatic diseases in patients with metabolic syndrome, metabolic disturbances in patients with rheumatic diseases (RD), to ascertain their most frequent variants and characteristics. METHODS After examination of 1291 therapeutic patients 19 to 79
