Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of the oral administration of fruit extracts (lemon and Japanese apricot) combined with red-ginseng on the endurance and availability of metabolic substrates in ICR mice. Administration of the fruit extracts and red-ginseng (RG) (1:1) significantly increased swimming capacity, by 40%, with increased expenditures of non-esterified fatty acids and triglycerides in the plasma of the mice after 1 week of feeding. There was no significant increase in swimming capacity with the fruit extract alone. These results suggest that the fruit extract could synergistically elevate the effects of red-ginseng on swimming capacity in the mice by increasing fat utilization and reducing the consumption of stored glucose.
