Effects of verbascoside on oxygen consumption and mitochondrial enzyme activities in skeletal muscle of rats during intense exercise
Objective To investigate the effects of verbascoside on oxygen consumption and mitochondrial enzyme activities in skeletal muscle of rats with intense exercise.Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,experimental-L,-M,-H groups.Exercise training was performed in all groups except the control group.The control group and model group were given 2 mL of 0.9%NaCl,the experimental-L,-M,-H groups was given 20,40,80 mg·kg-1·d-1 verbascoside.The activities of Na+/K+-ATP and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATP were detected by kit.Protein expressions of optic atrophy 1(Opa1),mitochondrial fusion(Mfn)1 and Mfn2 were detected by Western blot.Results The Na+/K+-ATP of experimental-L,-M,-H groups,model group and blank group were(2.74±0.44),(3.50±0.38),(4.39±0.41),(2.13±0.32)and(5.75±0.42)U·mg-1;Ca2+/Mg2+-ATP were(4.01±0.32),(4.82±0.79),(6.57±0.70),(3.51±0.35)and(8.92±1.14)U·mg-1;Opa-1 were 0.40±0.05,0.52±0.04,0.69±0.09,0.25±0.06 and 0.78±0.11;Mfn1 were 0.47±0.06,0.59±0.07,0.74±0.08,0.32±0.05 and 0.89±0.12;Mfn2 were 0.51±0.07,0.65±0.06,0.83±0.06,0.35±0.06 and 1.02±0.13,respectively.There was statistical significance between control group and model group(all P<0.05);there were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between the experimental-L,-M,-H groups and the model group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Verminoside can improve the oxygen consumption and mitochondrial enzyme activity of skeletal muscle and increase the antioxidant capacity of rats with intense exercise.
