Effect of phenylbutazone on the haemodynamic, acid-base and eicosanoid responses of horses to sustained submaximal exertion     

K.W. Hinchcliff  K.H. McKeever  W.W. Muir III 《Research in veterinary science》1994,56(3):352

The systemic haemodynamic and acid-base effects of the administration of phenylbutazone (4·4 mg kg⁻¹ intravenously) to standing and running horses were investigated. Phenylbutazone, or a placebo, was administered to each of six mares either 15 minutes before, or after 30 minutes of a 60-minute submaximal exercise test which elicited heart rates approximately 55 per cent of maximal, and to the same horses at rest. The variables examined included the cardiac output, heart rate, systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures, right atrial and right ventricular pressures, and arterial and mixed venous blood gases and pH. Serum sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations, and plasma thromboxane B₂, 6-keto-prostaglandin F_1α (6-keto-PGF_1α), and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) concentrations were measured in separate studies using similar protocols in the same horses. Running produced increases in heart rate, cardiac output, mean arterial and right ventricular pressure, and decreases in total peripheral resistance. The acid:base responses to exertion were characterised by respiratory alkalosis. Exertion did not significantly influence plasma 6-keto-PGF_1α or PGE₂ concentrations but plasma thromboxane B₂ concentrations were increased significantly by 60 minutes of exertion in the untreated horses. This exercise-induced increase in plasma thromboxane B₂ concentration was inhibited by the previous administration of phenylbutazone, but phenylbutazone did not produce detectable changes in systemic haemodynamic or acid-base variables in either standing or running horses.  相似文献

High intensity exercise conditioning increases accumulated oxygen deficit of horses     

Hinchcliff KW  Lauderdale MA  Dutson J  Geor RJ  Lacombe VA  Taylor LE 《Equine veterinary journal》2002,34(1):9-16

High intensity exercise is associated with production of energy by both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. Conditioning by repeated exercise increases the maximal rate of aerobic metabolism, aerobic capacity, of horses, but whether the maximal amount of energy provided by anaerobic metabolism, anaerobic capacity, can be increased by conditioning of horses is unknown. We, therefore, examined the effects of 10 weeks of regular (4-5 days/week) high intensity (92+/-3 % VO2max) exercise on accumulated oxygen deficit of 8 Standardbred horses that had been confined to box stalls for 12 weeks. Exercise conditioning resulted in increases of 17% in VO2max (P<0.001), 11% in the speed at which VO2max was achieved (P = 0.019) and 9% in the speed at 115% of VO2max (P = 0.003). During a high speed exercise test at 115% VO2max, sprint duration was 25% longer (P = 0.047), oxygen demand was 36% greater (P<0.001), oxygen consumption was 38% greater (P<0.001) and accumulated oxygen deficit was 27% higher (P = 0.040) than values before conditioning. VLa4 was 33% higher (P<0.05) after conditioning. There was no effect of conditioning on blood lactate concentration at the speed producing VO2max or at the end of the high speed exercise test. The rate of increase in muscle lactate concentration was greater (P = 0.006) in horses before conditioning. Muscle glycogen concentrations before exercise were 17% higher (P<0.05) after conditioning. Exercise resulted in nearly identical (P = 0.938) reductions in muscle glycogen concentrations before and after conditioning. There was no detectable effect of conditioning on muscle buffering capacity. These results are consistent with a conditioning-induced increase in both aerobic and anaerobic capacity of horses demonstrating that anaerobic capacity of horses can be increased by an appropriate conditioning programme that includes regular, high intensity exercise. Furthermore, increases in anaerobic capacity are not reflected in blood lactate concentrations measured during intense, exhaustive exercise or during recovery from such exercise.  相似文献   

Oxidant stress in sled dogs subjected to repetitive endurance exercise     

Hinchcliff KW  Reinhart GA  DiSilvestro R  Reynolds A  Blostein-Fujii A  Swenson RA 《American journal of veterinary research》2000,61(5):512-517

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether repetitive endurance exercise in sled dogs was associated with substantial lipid peroxidation, decreases in antioxidant capacity of the serum, and skeletal muscle damage. ANIMALS: 24 lightly trained sled dogs. PROCEDURE: 16 dogs completed a 58-km run on each of 3 consecutive days; the other 8 dogs (control) did not exercise during the study. Blood samples were collected before the first exercise run and after the first and third exercise runs. Plasma isoprostane and serum vitamin E concentrations, total antioxidant status of plasma, and serum creatine kinase activity were measured. RESULTS: Plasma isoprostane concentrations in dogs in the exercise group were significantly increased after the first exercise run and further significantly increased after the third exercise run. Serum vitamin E concentration was significantly decreased after the first exercise run in dogs in the exercise group, and this change persisted after the third exercise run. There was a significant linear relationship between plasma isoprostane concentration and the logarithm of serum creatine kinase activity (adjusted ? = 0.84). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results demonstrate that repetitive endurance exercise in dogs is associated with lipid peroxidation and a reduction in plasma antioxidant concentrations. We interpret these results as indicating that the antioxidant mechanisms of minimally trained dogs may, in some instances, be inadequate to meet the antioxidant requirements of repetitive endurance exercise.  相似文献   

Effects of endurance training on standard and signal-averaged electrocardiograms of sled dogs     

Constable PD  Hinchcliff KW  Olson JL  Stepien RL 《American journal of veterinary research》2000,61(5):582-588

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of endurance training on QRS duration, QRS-wave amplitude, and QT interval. ANIMALS: 100 sled dogs in Alaska. PROCEDURE: Dogs were examined in early September (before training) and late March (after training). During the interim, dogs trained by pulling a sled with a musher (mean, 20 km/d). Standard and signal-averaged ECG were obtained before and after training. RESULTS: Endurance training significantly increased mean QRS duration by 4.4 milliseconds for standard ECG (mean +/- SEM; 62.3 +/- 0.7 to 66.7 +/- 0.6 milliseconds) and 4.3 milliseconds for signal-averaged ECG (51.5 +/- 0.7 to 55.8 +/- 0.6 milliseconds) without changing body weight. Increase in QRS duration corresponded to a calculated increase in heart weight (standard ECG, 23%; signal-averaged ECG, 27%). Signal-averaged QRS duration was correlated with echocardiographically determined left ventricular diastolic diameter for the X orthogonal lead (r = +0.41), Y orthogonal lead (r = +0.33), and vector (r = +0.35). Training also increased QT interval (234 +/- 2 to 249 +/- 2 milliseconds) and R-wave amplitude in leads II and rV2, increased peak-to-peak voltage and S-wave amplitude in the Y orthogonal lead, and decreased Q-wave amplitude in the Y orthogonal lead. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Electrocardiographic changes reflected physiologic cardiac hypertrophy in these canine athletes in response to repetitive endurance exercise. The QRS duration increases in response to endurance exercise training and, therefore, may be of use in predicting performance in endurance activities.  相似文献

Catecholamine and cortisol responses of horses to incremental exertion     

Jimenez  M.  Hinchcliff  K.W.  Farris  J.W. 《Veterinary research communications》1998,22(2):107-118

The responses of the plasma concentrations of catecholamines and cortisol in horses to varied relative intensities of exertion were examined. The plasma concentrations of cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine increased significantly (p<0.05) with exertion. The plasma cortisol concentrations at relative work intensities of 48.3%±1.4%, 82.3%±2.0% and 99.6%±0.4% of VO_2max were 114%, 124%, and 126%, respectively, of those at rest, whereas the plasma epinephrine concentrations were 239%, 772% and 3483%, and the norepinephrine concentrations were 138%, 255%, and 1121% of the values at rest. There was a significant (p<0.0001) relationship between the plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations. The blood lactate concentration and the plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations were significantly (p<0.0001) related, as were the relative work intensity (%VO_2max) and the plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations. The relationships between the plasma cortisol concentration and work intensity or blood lactate concentration were not significant (p>0.05). This study demonstrates a relationship between relative work intensity and indicators of adrenal medullary and sympathetic activity during brief exertion in horses.  相似文献
