Oral L/Carnitine administration study.
The way that I read the extract of this study is as follows:
Greyhounds were dosed with oral L-Carnitine at a dose rate of 100mg per kg daily for 6 weeks.
It would appear that this study confirmed that daily supplementation of L-Carnitine increases the PCV both at rest and after strenuous exercise due to L-Carnitine stimulating natural EPO production.
In addition this effect reduced muscle cell destruction, as demonstrated by lower levels of CPK and AST. It also reduced the quantity of Lactic Acid in the blood.
To summarise, it would appear that L-Carnitine stimulates natural EPO production and this increased the number of Red Blood Cells, and the resultant increase in available oxygen reduced the stress of strenuous exercise.
If the conclusions reached in this study are correct, it has far reaching implications in the training of racing greyhounds.
