The Effect of Isoflavones of Minshan Red Clover on Immune Function and Exercise Capacity in Exercise Rats
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to investigate the influence of isorhamnetin derived from Minshan red clover on immune function and exercise capacity in rats.METHODS:Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups:sedentary group,sedentary with isorhamnetin group,exercise group,and exercise with isorhamnetin group.An incremental exercise load rat model was established to measure exhaustion time,immune organ index,immune globulins,and T lymphocyte subpopulations.RESULTS:After 6 weeks of high-intensity exercise,rats treated with isorhamnetin from Minshan red clover exhibited a significant extension in exhaustion time compared to the corresponding control group.Moreover,there were noticeable increases and variations in immune organ index,T lymphocyte subpopulations(CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+),and immune globulin levels(IgA,IgG,IgM).CONCLUSIONS:(1)Isorhamnetin from Minshan red clover can markedly enhance exhaustion time in rats undergoing high-intensity endurance training,thereby improving exercise capacity.(2)Isorhamnetin from Minshan red clover impacts the immune system in exercised rats by modulating immune cell function,enhancing immune capabilities,and demonstrating some amelioration in immune suppression.
