Association Between Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Concentration and Clinical Signs of Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction in Swiss and Austrian Equids
The results indicate that particular clinical signs commonly associated with advanced stages of PPID are associated with high ACTH levels. Furthermore, in this data set, a phenotype compatible with metabolic syndrome was also linked to higher ACTH concentrations. These findings underscore the importance of seeking more sensitive biomarkers for the diagnosis of early PPID.
