Title: Experimental study of Eucommia ulmoides oliver extract as anti-exercise-fatigue
Abstract: Aim To investigate the effect of Eucommia ulmoides oliver extract on hormone levels,metabolism and exercise capacity in rat.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into sedentary control group,the exhaustive exercise group and exhaustive exercise plus drug group(taking Eucommia ulmoides oliver extract).After 7 weeks of exhaustive exercise,serum insulin,glucagon,growth hormone,blood sugar,liver glycogen,muscle glycogen,lactic acid blood urea and hemoglobin and other biochemical parameters are measured.Results ①Compared with the quiet control group exhaustive exercise group′s insulin and growth hormone levels were significantly lower than the quiet control group(P0.05 or P 0.01),glucagon levels were significantly higher than the quiet control group(P0.05);glycogen,muscle glycogen and blood glucose concentration were significantly lower than the quiet control group and showed significant difference(P0.01);blood lactate concentration and muscle lactate content were significantly higher than the quiet control group(P0.01),BU concentration was significantly higher than the quiet control group(P0.01) of Hb content was significantly lower than the quiet control group(P0.05);treadmill running to exhaustion was significantly longer than the quiet control group(P0.05).② Compared with exhaustive exercise group,exhaustive exercise and drug rat group′s insulin and growth hormone were all significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.01),glucagon levels were significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.05);hepatic glycogen and blood glucose levels were very significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.01),muscle glycogen content was significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.05);blood lactate and muscle lactate concentration was significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.01);BU concentration was significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.01),and Hb content was significantly lower than the exhaustive exercise group(P0.01);the treadmill rates after exhaustive exercise showed a significant delay(P0.05).Conclusion Eucommia extract can improve the hormone levels of the rats after exhaustive exercise,improve their material metabolism and prolonged exercise time,and enhance the athletic ability of rats.
