  • Title: Carbohydrate alimentary overload laminitis.
    Author: Pollitt CC, Visser MB.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2010 Apr; 26(1):65-78. PubMed ID: 20381736.
    Abstract:
    In acute laminitis, the suspensory apparatus of the distal phalanx fails at the lamellar dermal/epidermal interface. A grading system for the histopathology of laminitis is based on the consistent pattern of histologic changes to the secondary epidermal lamellae, basal cells, and basement membrane that occur as carbohydrate-induced laminitis develops. The actual trigger factors of carbohydrate-induced laminitis remain unidentified.
