The Genetic Side of Metabolic Syndrome and Laminitis with Dr. Elaine Norton

Dr. Elaine Norton discusses her extensive research into the heritability of equine metabolic syndrome in various breeds of horses, and how that relates to the risk of endocrinopathic laminitis – which makes up 80-90% of laminitis cases. This discussion focuses on her study with Welsh ponies and Morgan horses, but also breaches into her new research involving Arabian Horses, and more.  For more information, email elainenorton@arizona.edu
