Objectives: Rhodiola rosea has been used in herbal medicine to treat various conditions, such as antimelancholia, antifatigue, improvement of work competence and prevention of altitude sickness. In this study, we investigated effects of Rhodiola rosea extract (KH101) on fatigue in forced swimming rats.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were induced with fatigue by forced swimming, then rats in each group were treated with KH101. We observed changes of glucose, LDH and cortisol in serum and LDH, glycogen, hexokinase, citrate synthase MDH, SDH and CK in muscle.
Results: Obtained results were as follows: 1. Continuance times of exercise significantly increased in all groups at day 1, in the 50 mg/kg concentration group at day 2, in all groups at day 3 and in the 50 mg/kg conc. group at day 4. 2. In serum, glucose significantly decreased in all concentration groups. 3. In the soleus muscle, LDH significantly decreased in the 50 mg/kg concentration group. HK significantly decreased in the 100 mg/kg conc. group. SDH significantly increased in the 100 mg/kg conc. MDH were significantly decreased in all conc. groups. 4. In the gastrocnemius muscle, HK significantly decreased in all concentration groups, while MDH significantly increased all conc. groups.
Conclusions: It is concluded that the KH101 has and anti-fatigue effect in rats. Additional studies are needed to find the mechanism of the association between each single herb.
