What This Study Found

22 metabolites of ibutamoren were identified, detectable for up to 96 hours.

Key Numbers

How They Did This

The study used liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry to analyze ibutamoren and its metabolites in thoroughbred horses after oral administration.

Why This Research Matters

Understanding how ibutamoren metabolizes helps improve doping control in competitive sports. This knowledge can help ensure fair competition by identifying illegal substance use.

What This Study Doesn't Tell Us

The study is limited to thoroughbred horses, and results may not directly apply to other species or humans.
