From: The effect of different grazing conditions on the insulin and incretin response to the oral glucose test in ponies

Fig. 1

Basal and post-prandial hormone concentrations measured during an oral glucose test in ponies after grazing. Hormone concentrations were measured before (0H) and after (2H) a test meal during an oral glucose test in 16 ponies after grazing either unfertilised (UF), or fertilised (F), pasture for 4 h/day for 5 days (with an evening meal of hay). The post-prandial serum insulin (a) and blood glucose (b) concentrations were higher than the resting concentration after both diets, and insulin was higher after eating F pasture, compared to UF pasture. The plasma aGLP-1 concentration (c) was higher than the resting concentration after both diets, but did not differ after each grazing phase
