Figure 4

Effect of AC on plasma lactate, ammonia, and glucose levels and creatine kinase (CK) activity after exercise. Mice were pretreated with vehicle, AC-50, or AC-200 for 7 days and then 1 h later underwent a 15 min swim test. Data are mean ± SEM (𝑛=10 mice). (a) Lactate: ^∗𝑃<0.005, ^∗∗𝑃<0.0001 compared to vehicle control. (b) Ammonia: ^∗𝑃<0.0001 compared to vehicle control. (c) Glucose: ^∗𝑃<0.05 compared to vehicle control. (d) CK: ^∗𝑃<0.005 compared to vehicle control.
