This study purposed to examine the effect of puer-tea supplementation on antioxidant enzymes during acute exercise of rats. Thirty-two rats were randomly divided into four groups (HS : high fat diet sedentary group, n=8; HE : high fat diet acute exercise group, n=8; PS : puer-tea gavaged sedentary group, n=8; puer-tea gavaged acute exercise group, n=8), The high-fat diet was composed of 35% carbohydrate, 20% protein, and 35% fat. In the acute exercise group, the rats were swam for 60min (3% load/weight) before anesthetized with ether. The results showed that EFT of PS group was significanlty lower than the HS group (p < .05). In the blood components, there were no significantly different in the serum glucose, TC, HDLC, but TG level of exercise group were significantly lower than the control group (p < .01), respectively. In addition muscle glycogen content of PS and PE were significantly higher than the HS and HE (p < .01), respectively, and MDA content of PE was lower than the PS group (p < .01). Furthermore, Cu,Zn-SOD protein expression of PS group was significantly higher than the HS group (p < .05), and GPx protein expression of PE and HE were significantly higher than the PS and HS (p < .01), respectively. From these results, puer-tea supplementation has a positive effect on antioxidant activity because of puer-tea supplemented group was showed higher value of Cu,Zn-SOD protein expression, and could be an important dietary antioxidant source as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
