Treatment with Cordyceps militaris fruit body extract (0.5 g/kg, 1.0 g/kg, and 2.0 g/kg) and Rhodiola rosea (0.5 g/kg) for 2 weeks; before and after 20 min swimming, the levels of MDA, ROS, and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in liver in male and female mouse were detected. Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. ( = 6). and compared with control group.
