Acute exercise with Salicornia herbacia L. powder ingestion increases lipids metabolism in STZ-induced diabetic rats

The effect of swimming exercise and powdered-Salicornia herbacea L. ingestion on glucose metabolism in STZ-induced diabetic rats

“…When feeding the streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats with a diet added of 20% Salicornia herbacia L. the result had shown that the diet displayed anti-diabetic effectiveness by reducing blood glucose concentrations and increasing free fatty acids and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) reportedly [ 15 ]. It was also reported that an intensive one time exercise and a Salicornia herbacia L. added diet in STZ-induced diabetic rats was deemed to increase fat oxidation in L-FABP, CPT-1, and cytochrome c oxidase (COx), resulting in improvements of the metabolic syndrome [ 16 ]. As the interests in the functionality of food reflects the increase in respect to weight control and prevention, as well as improvement of chronic diseases including metabolic syndrome, the effectiveness has been verified in many studies and their results related to the pharmacological activity of a functional food using the medicinal herbs.…”
