Abstract

Objective: this study examined the effects of flavonoids from Eucommia ulmoides (FEU) on antioxidant systems, lipid peroxidation and oxidative deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage after exhaustive exercise. Methods: the mice were then divided into four groups, one control group and three FEU treated groups. The control group received saline solution, whilst the treated groups received different doses of FEU (5, 15 and 45 mg/kg BW) for 28 days, followed by being forced to undergo swimming test, with measurements taken of various biochemical parameters. Results showed that FEU could increase reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, GSH/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, decrease xanthine oxidase (XO) activities, GSSG, malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels. The finding of the study suggests that FEU possess protective effects against exhaustive exercise-induced oxidative stress and oxidative injury, which might be important in preventing loss of cellular function and warrants quick recovery after sports competition.
