Effects of Endurance Training with or without Rosehip Fruits (Rosa canina L) Extraction and D-galactose Solution on Plasmatic Liver Enzymes, Lipid Profiles, Selected Biochemical Variables in Male Rats

Abstract

The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of D-galactose (DG) supplementation on plasma aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine, albumin, urea, bilirubin, cholesterol, and triglyceride. We also investigated the effects of Rosehip (Rosa canina L) fruit extraction and endurance exercise training on DG-induced changes in the aforementioned variables in male rats. Eighty-six male rats were randomly assigned to 8 groups 1) Control Saline 2) Training Saline 3) Control D-galactose 4) Training D-galactose 5) Control Rosehip 6) Training Rosehip 7) Control combined group and 8) Training combined group. Animals received experiments on the base of groups' names (eight weeks and five times per week). Seventy-two hours after the last training or control session plasma was collected. The results showed that endurance training significantly increased plasma albumin while reducing ALT and creatinine. Rosehip significantly reduced plasma AST, creatinine, urea, cholesterol, and triglyceride, and increased bilirubin. A combination of training and Rosehip causes an additive effect HIGHLIGHTS • Exercise increases plasma albumin, while reducing ALT and creatinine.• Rosehip reduces AST, creatinine, urea, cholesterol, and triglyceride.• D-galactose increases ALT, AST, ALP, creatinine, urea, cholesterol, and triglyceride.• Rosehip adjusts the changes induced by D-galactose on some variables.
