Influence of endocrine disease on l‐lactate concentrations in blood of ponies

Abstract Background Blood l‐lactate concentrations are higher in people with developing or established diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance. Objectives To investigate whether blood l‐lactate concentrations are positively correlated with measures of insulin dysregulation (ID) or increased autumna...

Objectives To investigate whether blood l‐lactate concentrations are positively correlated with measures of insulin dysregulation (ID) or increased autumnal ACTH concentrations in ponies. Animals Systemically healthy client‐owned ponies (n = 101). Methods Prospective case‐control study. Blood samples were obtained from 101 clinically healthy ponies. Breed, weight, height, and subjective and objective measures of body condition were recorded. Blood l‐lactate, glucose, triglyceride, total adiponectin, and ACTH concentrations were measured and an oral sugar test (OST) was carried out. Correlations between blood l‐lactate and variables of endocrine health were determined. Results Using a seasonal cutoff point of ACTH concentrations ≥47 pg/mL, 55 ponies had increased autumnal ACTH concentrations and 45 did not. Using a basal insulin concentration of >50 μiU/mL, 42 ponies were diagnosed with ID and 58 were not. Using a 60 minutes after OST cutoff point of >45 μiU/mL, 57 ponies had ID and 37 did not. Blood l‐lactate concentrations were significantly lower in obese (average body condition score ≥ 7/9) compared to nonobese ponies (0.6 mmol/L; range, 0.0‐1.9 mmol/L vs 0.8 mmol/L; range, 0.3‐2.7 mmol/L; P = .01). No other significant correlations were detected. No differences were detected between ponies with and without increased autumnal ACTH concentrations (0.7 mmol/L; range, 0.0‐2.7 mmol/L vs 0.7 mmol/L; range, 0.3‐1.8 mmol/L; P = .84) and with and without ID (0.7 mmol/L; range, 0.3‐2.7 mmol/L vs 0.8 mmol/L; range, 0.0‐1.6 mmol/L; P = .63).
