Influence of Polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum Fruits on Exercise Tolerance and Free Radical Metabolism in Liver of Mice after Exhaustive Exercise

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum fruits (LBP) on free radical metabolism of mice after exhaustive swimming exercise. The results showed that LBP supplementation could alleviate fatigue and enhanced the exercise tolerance. Furthermore, LBP supplementation effectively attenuates the exhaustive exercise-induced increased lipid peroxidation and elevates antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) activities. LBP may have therapeutic role in preventing liver tissue damage during exhaustive exercise.
