Study Title | Metabolomic Diagnosis in Horse |
Study Type | comparison |
Study Summary | In this project we will investigate the feasibility of metabolomics and to characterize the diversity of metabotypes in the horse, towards discovery of markers and pathways associated with obesity and insulin resistance in the equine model. The collaborative team of researchers assembled for this work have identified horses severely affected with Equine Metabolic syndrome, often characterized by obesity and hyperinsulinemia. These animals are all from the Arabian breed, to control for some genetic background. Horses are age, sex and farm of residence matched with a control animal whenever possible. Carefully controlled collection protocols were utilized to ensure minimal variability in sample age and quality. Blood plasma is submitted for both global LC-MS analysis through the SECIM core facilities. This discovery-based approach will begin to generate new targets for the development of novel therapeutic interventions for the treatment and prevention of obesity, type-2 diabetes as well as related secondary conditions in both humans and horses. Finally, as the first dataset of its kind in the horse, we may also be able to highlight promising new biomarkers for veterinary diagnostic use. |

Collection:
Collection ID: | CO000255 |
Collection Summary: | A mobile set-up allowed for immediate processing of samples from study horses on their home farm. 50mL of blood was collected into two EDTA tubes, two no-additive tubes, and one sodium oxalate tube. EDTA and sodium oxalate treated samples were thoroughly mixed by inversion and immediately centrifuged to pellet the cells and allow for removal of plasma by pipette. Blood drawn in a no-additive tube was allowed to clot, centrifuged, and had the serum removed by pipette. The draw yielded 6-8 mL of plasma and 3-4mL of serum, which was then divided in to 1mL aliquots and immediately snap frozen by immersion in liquid nitrogen. Upon returning to the lab, the samples were then transfered to -80C for storage. Currently, only plasma is being submitted for metabolomic analysis. |
