Ginseng Pectin WGPA Alleviates Exercise-Induced Fatigue by Enhancing Gluconeogenesis

Figure 2

Impact from WGPA on biochemical indexes in liver and muscle. Mice were subject to exhausted exercise and WGPA administration as described in Figure 1(a). Hepatic glycogen level (a), the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) (c), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) (d), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (e), pyruvate carboxylase (PC) (f) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate phosphatase (FBPase) (g) were detected in liver tissues. Gastrocnemius muscles were isolated from mice for the detection of muscle glycogen (b). Data represent mean ± SD (n = 6) with significance determined by student unpaired t-test. ; ; ; ns, nonsignificant.
