Dear Colleagues,
Equine Endocrinology is a rapidly expanding field, with research on the pathophysiology, endocrine imbalances, clinical signs, epidemiology and treatment of PPID, insulin dysregulation, HPA axis dysregulation and calcium and phosphorus regulation of particular interest to equine veterinarians and horse owners.
We are pleased to invite you to submit an article for peer review in the area of equine endocrinology and metabolic disease. This Special Issue aims to encompass 10–20 high-quality articles. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: Physiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnostic testing or treatment of conditions of the equine endocrine system including hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, pancreas such as HPA axis dysregulation, CIRCI, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, RAAS regulation or dysfunction, growth hormone dysfunction, insulin dysregulation, equine metabolic syndrome, endocrinopathic laminitis, thyroid dysfunction, anhidrosis, pheochromocytoma, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium or parathyroid disorders regulation.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
