Advanced nutritional and stem cells approaches to prevent equine metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: Horses metabolic disorders have become an important problem of modern veterinary medicine. Pathological obesity, insulin resistance and predisposition toward laminitis are associated with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). Based on pathogenesis of EMS, dietary and cell therapy management may significantly reduce development of this disorder. Special attention has been paid to the diet supplementation with highly bioavailable minerals and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) which increase insulin sensitivity. In nutrition, there is a great interests in natural algae enriched via biosorption process with micro- and macroelements. In the case of cellular therapy, metabolic condition of engrafted cells may be crucial for the effectiveness of the therapy. Although, recent studies indicated on MSC deterioration in EMS individuals. Here, we described the combined nutritional and stem cells therapy for the EMS treatment. Moreover, we specified in details how EMS affects the adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) population. Presented here, combined kind of therapy- an innovative and cutting edge approach of metabolic disorders treatment may become a new gold standard in personalized veterinary medicine.

This research article investigates the effectiveness of combining nutritional measures and stem cell approaches to prevent and treat Equine Metabolic Syndrome, a common metabolic disorder affecting horses.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS)

  • The research paper begins by addressing Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), a metabolic disorder now prevalent among horses, posing significant concerns to modern veterinary medicine. EMS in horses is characterized by obesity, insulin resistance, and a predisposition toward laminitis, a painful condition affecting the horse’s feet.

Nutritional and Stem Cell Therapies

  • The paper suggests that diet modifications and stem cell therapy could potentially decrease the development of EMS. Horses diagnosed with EMS could benefit from diets fortified with highly bioavailable minerals and the administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known to enhance insulin sensitivity.
  • Nutrition-wise, the study particularly focuses on natural algae, enriched through a biosorption process with micro- and macroelements, which has garnered considerable interest.

Role of Cellular Therapy

  • In the area of cell therapy, the metabolic state of the implanted cells can significantly impact the effectiveness of the treatment. However, recent research highlights that MSCs’ quality appears to deteriorate in EMS individuals, presenting possible challenges to the cellular therapy approach.

Effect of EMS on Adipose-derived Stem Cells

  • The paper provides an in-depth discussion on how EMS impacts the adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) population in horses. This level of detail is crucial to understanding how EMS can alter stem cells and, in turn, affect the effectiveness of stem cell therapies.

Combined Therapy Approach

  • The researchers propose a combined approach involving both nutritional and stem cell therapies to treat EMS. This innovative strategy could potentially pave the way for new treatment methods in personalized veterinary medicine, thereby setting a new standard for managing metabolic disorders.
