Equine Endocrine Testing: Webinar Questions & Answers

چکیده
Fasting is only necessary prior to the oral sugar (Karo® syrup) test and other dynamic oral glucose challenge tests. This entails leaving 1 flake of hay in the stall or dirt pen after 10:00 p.m. the night prior to testing. Fasting is not necessary prior to measurement of resting insulin and glucose concentrations. If measured in the fed state, a resting insulin concentration > 360 pmol/L (50 μU/mL) supports insulin dysregulation and an insulin concentration between 145 – 360 pmol/L (20 – 50 μU/L) suggests possible insulin dysregulation. If fasted, a resting insulin concentration > 145 pmol/L (20 μU/mL) supports the presence of insulin dysregulation. The TRH stimulation test may be performed either fasted or after feeding hay (but not grain). Fasting is not necessary prior to measuring endogenous ACTH concentration or performing the overnight dexamethasone suppression test.

Reply: For physical models, like global and regional climate models, the grid spacing used for the simulation can affect the total precipitation volume over a region. This results mainly from terrain effects. With finer grid spacing, the mountain ranges are better resolved, which produces more intense precipitation over the domain. This is a reason why regional models, especially those run at r...
