Abstract
Changes in blood gases, ions, lactate, pH, hemoglobin, blood temperature, total body metabolism, and muscle metabolites were measured before and during exercise (except muscle), at fatigue, and during recovery in normal and acetazolamide-treated horses to test the hypothesis that an acetazolamide-induced acidosis would compromise the metabolism of the horse exercising at maximal O2 uptake. Acetazolamide-treated horses had a 13-mmol/l base deficit at rest, higher arterial Po2 at rest and during exercise, higher arterial and mixed venous Pco2 during exercise, and a 48-s reduction in run time. Arterial pH was lower during exercise but not in recovery after acetazolamide. Blood temperature responses were unaffected by acetazolamide administration. O2 uptake was similar during exercise and recovery after acetazolamide treatment, whereas CO2 production was lower during exercise. Muscle [glycogen] and pH were lower at rest, whereas heart rate, muscle pH and [lactate], and plasma [lactate] and [K+] were lower and plasma [Cl-] higher following exercise after acetazolamide treatment. These data demonstrate that acetazolamide treatment aggravates the CO2 retention and acidosis occurring in the horse during heavy exercise. This could negatively affect muscle metabolism and exercise capacity.
