Zomedica Launches New ACTH Assay For Equine PPID. Zomedica has launched an updated TRUFORMA assay for diagnosis of Equine PPID, Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction, an endocrine disorder in horses also known as Equine Cushing’s Disease. The new assay measures ACTH and one of its breakdown products, CLIP, then calculates a value that can be compared with established standard levels. The measures in this assay allow for better, faster diagnosis at the point-of-care.
PPID Is A Common Condition In Older Horses. An estimated 20% of the horses over 15 years of age are affected by PPID. Benign tumors or enlargement of the pituitary gland leads to overproduction of endocrine hormones and dysregulation of metabolism. ACTH is one of the hormones affected, causing a variety of symptoms that may lead to muscle wasting, thirst, urination, behavior, immune suppression, and metabolic changes. This affects the horse’s overall health, quality of life, and value to the owner.
