Suggests NO slows VO2 kinetics in equine exercise; hypothesis-generating and leaves open human relevance.
Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase with L-NAME accelerates oxygen uptake kinetics during heavy-intensity exercise in horses, suggesting NO contributes to metabolic inertia.
Kindig et al. (2001) studied this question.
