Abstract

 

In this study, the fatigue-alleviating effect of polysaccharides from Cyclocarya paliurus(Batal) Iljinskaja (PCP) in mice were evaluated using a weight-loaded swimming test and some biochemical parameters related to fatigue, including serum urea nitrogen (SUN), blood lactic acid (BLA), hemoglobin (Hb) and hepatic glycogen were measured. Male Kunming mice were administered PCP at doses of 0, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg for 4 weeks. The results showed that PCP can increase swimming time to exhaustion, Hb and hepatic glycogen contents whilst reducing SUN and BLA contents, indicating an alleviating effect on exercise-induced fatigue in mice.

 

Key words: Polysaccharides, Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal) Iljinskaja, fatigue, swimming test, mice
