Mean basal plasma glucose concentration and peak plasma insulin concentrations were higher (P  less then  .05) in the high-energy group than in the control group. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Feeding a high-energy diet to healthy nonobese Shetland pony mares led to more efficient glucose metabolism within 5 weeks, followed by significant hyperinsulinemia and obesity. Hyperinsulinemic status was reversed during 17 weeks of hay-only feeding, regardless of body condition, but returned rapidly after restarting the high-energy diet. © 2020 The Authors.

Our goal is to develop an algorithm and pulse sequence to enable motion-compensated, geometric distortion compensated diffusion-weighted MRI, and to evaluate its efficacy in correcting for the field inhomogeneity and position changes, induced by large and frequent head motions. METHODS Dual echo planar imaging (EPI) with a blip-reversed phase encoding distortion correction technique was evaluated in five volunteers in two separate experiments and compared with static field map distortion correction. In the first experiment, dual-echo EPI images were acquired in two head positions designed to induce a large field inhomogeneity change. A field map and a distortion-free structural image were acquired at each position to assess the ability of dual-echo EPI to generate reliable field maps and enable geometric distortion corre, but they also enable a more accurate final diffusion image
