Supplementation of Superfine Powder Prepared from Chaenomeles speciosa Fruit Increases Endurance Capacity in Rats via Antioxidant and Nrf2/ARE Signaling Pathway

Figure 2

Antifatigue effect of the superfine powder prepared from C. speciosa fruit (SCE). (a) Exhaustive swimming time of rats in WFST test. Values represent mean ± SE. versus Con.: control group; SCE: SCE-supplemented group. (b) Blood lactic acid and blood urea nitrogen of rats exposed to exhaustive exercise. (c) Blood glucose, muscle glycogen, and liver glycogen of rats exposed to exhaustive exercise. (d) Oxidative-antioxidative statue of rats exposed to exhaustive exercise. Fold change was equal to that of the corresponding NEx group. Values represent mean ± SE. versus NEx group; ^# versus Ex group. NEx: nonexercise group; NEx + SCE: nonexercise with SCE supplementation group; Ex: exercise group; Ex + SCE: exercise with SCE supplementation group.
