fred, I'm your biggest fan. Don't go all JO on me here. Dope works in mysterious ways. Just because the mechanism may not be described readily does not mean it does not happen.
A horse on therapeutic doses of Ventipulmin gets more muscular with the same exercise when compared to a drug free horse.
It gives the muscles a free "pump" that just increases the rate of tissue repair and building.
The Guardian:
"
Racehorses are unique, in that they are one of very few animals known to suffer Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) (more commonly referred to as bleeding), Professor Ken Hinchcliff, dean of veterinary and agricultural sciences at the University of Melbourne and co-author of a series of comprehensive studies in recent years looking into the effects of Lasix on racehorses, told the Guardian. One of the causes of EIPH is a four-fold increase in pulmonary blood pressure when horses exercise or compete.
“If you take a horse out and exercise it, then the blood pressure leading from the artery on the right side of the heart to the lungs increases from about 25mm of mercury [pressure] to about 100mm of pressure,†he said. “You don’t see anything like this in humans, for example.â€
This marked increase in pulmonary pressure means that small capillaries in such horses’ lungs are prone to rupture, said Paul Morley, professor of epidemiology and biosecurity at Colorado State University and co-author with Hinchcliff on a number of studies."
So you're saying that in horses clenbuterol " gives the muscles a free pump" . What exactly does that mean? How is that different than something Jon Orange would say?
Gives the muscles a free pump is a metaphorical nothing. How is it any different than Jonnyboy's adrenaline theory of running.
