Effects of Methane-Rich Saline on the Capability of One-Time Exhaustive Exercise in Male SD Rats.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To explore the effects of methane-rich saline (CH4 saline) on the capability of one-time exhaustive exercise in male SD rats.

Methods

Thirty rats were equally divided into to three groups at random: control group (C), placebo group (P) and methane saline group (M). Rats in M group underwent intraperitoneal injection of CH4 saline, and the other two groups simultaneously underwent intraperitoneal injection of normal saline. Then, the exercise capability of rats was tested through one-time exhaustive treadmill exercise except C group. Exercise time and body weight were recorded before and after one-time exhaustive exercise. After exhaustive exercise, the blood and gastrocnemius samples were collected from all rats to detect biochemical parameters in different methods.<
