This study investigates how Methyl Sulphonyl Methane (MSM) and vitamin C supplements could reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress in competitive jumping horses. The findings suggest that these supplements are beneficial in minimizing the harmful effects of oxidative damage and pro-inflammatory molecules which result from strenuous exercise.
The research involved 24 jumping horses and was organized to measure the levels of oxidative stress in their bodies. Oxidative stress often follows rigorous physical activities, resulting from multiplication of free radicals and harmful inflammatory conditions. The horses were provided with three different dietary treatments:
Blood samples from the horses were taken at different points: before exercise, upon arrival at the competition area, and each week after the last show. These samples were then tested for nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, lipid hydroperoxides, and antioxidant enzymes including glutathione peroxidase, glutathione transferase, and glutathione reductase.
The results showed that intensive exercise from competition led to a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide in the horses. Conversely, the amounts of reduced glutathione and antioxidant enzyme activity were reduced. However, administration of MSM significantly improved all these changes induced by exercise. This effect was even stronger when MSM was combined with vitamin C, leading to values in some of the parameters comparable to those found before the competition.
The study concludes that strenuous jumping exercise may have negative effects on horses due to an increase in oxidative damage and pro-inflammatory molecules. This potentially harmful impact can be mitigated by the administration of MSM and vitamin C, with MSM demonstrating protective benefits against oxidative and inflammatory injuries caused by exercise. This research suggests that supplementing horses’ diets with MSM and vitamin C could help preserve their optimal health during and after their participation in physically demanding activities like jumping competitions.
