Insulin Resistance in horses and humans (through independent studies) has shown to occur within 24 hours of endotoxin administration. This toxin of bacteria is a common occurrence in certain types of colic and post-colic surgery.

Summary:

In horses already with Insulin Resistance, trauma/colic/infections/surgery can push them over the edge if their Insulin is already high. If normal individuals can get Insulin Resistance, then it highlights how important it is to get your Insulin Resistant horse back in action in the field to get the Insulin down.

In other species, it is already shown to occur that in profound trauma (surgery/wounds) and immune challenges, Insulin Resistance occurs in normal individuals. These “stress-induced Insulin Resistant” cases can, again, possibly be a source of Laminitis, even in horses with no pre-existing metabolic problems.
