Abstract

High-strength or long-duration exercise can lead to significant fatigue, oxidative stress, and muscle damage. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mangosteen concentrate drink (MCD) supplementation on antioxidant capacity and lactate clearance in rats after running exercise. Forty rats were divided into five groups: N, non-treatment; C, control; or supplemented with MCD, including M1, M5, and M10 (0.9, 4.5, and 9 mL/day) for 6 weeks. The rats were subjected to 30 min running and exhaustive-running tests using a treadmill. The blood lactate; triglyceride; cholesterol and glucose levels; hepatic and muscular malonaldehyde (MDA) levels; and antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT), were analyzed. The results of this study demonstrated that MCD supplementation can increase GPx and CAT activities, alleviate oxidative stress in muscle, and increase lactate clearance, and is thereby beneficial to reduced muscle fatigue after exercise.
