OBJECTIVES: To determine whether i.v. administration of furosemide (250 mg) to horses before maximal exercise affected maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), breathing mechanics, or gas exchange during exercise.
ANIMALS: 7 healthy, well-conditioned Thoroughbred horses.
PROCEDURES: 5 horses initially performed an incremental treadmill exercise test to determine VO2max 4 hours after i.v. administration of furosemide (250 mg i.v.) or placebo (saline [0.9% NaCl] solution). Time to fatigue and distance run were recorded. All 7 horses were then used to determine the effects of furosemide on gas exchange and breathing mechanics at 40, 60, 80, and 100% of VO2max. Horses were weighed immediately before exercise.
RESULTS: Furosemide treatment significantly increased mass-specific VO2max (5.3%), but absolute VO2max was not significantly altered. In the 2 parts of the study, body weights were 2.9 and 2.5% higher when horses were given placebo than when they were given furosemide. Time and distance run at speeds > or = 11.0 m/s were significantly greater following furosemide administration. Furosemide treatment had no effect on breathing mechanics or gas exchange.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Previous studies have suggested that prerace administration of furosemide may have a positive effect on performance. Results of this study indicate that this may be attributable, in part, to an increase in mass-specific VO2max but not to improvements in breathing mechanics or gas exchange. Most of the increase in mass-specific VO2max appeared to be attributable to weight loss associated with diuresis induced by furosemide.
