Abstract
Supplementing amino acids was proven to relieve fatigue caused by exercise. This study explored the antifatigue effects of compound amino acid capsules (CAAC) on rats undergoing the forced swimming test (FST). CAAC augmented the endurance of FST in rats and alleviated the damage of skeletal muscle tissue and reduced the content of biochemical indicators in the serum. Furthermore, CAAC prevented skeletal muscle dysfunction in FST rats by modulating inflammation and oxidation reactions. After the treatment with CAAC, apoptosis and apoptosis-related protein and p-p65 were weakened, while the levels of SIRT1 and SIRT1/PGC-1α/Nrf2 pathway-related proteins were enhanced. The antifatigue properties of CAAC were associated with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, which were realized by activating the SIRT1/PGC-1α/Nrf2 pathway.
期刊介绍:
Cellular Microbiology aims to publish outstanding contributions to the understanding of interactions between microbes, prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and their host in the context of pathogenic or mutualistic relationships, including co-infections and microbiota. We welcome studies on single cells, animals and plants, and encourage the use of model hosts and organoid cultures. Submission on cell and molecular biological aspects of microbes, such as their intracellular organization or the establishment and maintenance of their architecture in relation to virulence and pathogenicity are also encouraged. Contributions must provide mechanistic insights supported by quantitative data obtained through imaging, cellular, biochemical, structural or genetic approaches.
