Effects of Anoectochilus formosanus on endurance capacity in mice

The present study was designed to determine the effects of Anoectochilus formosanus extract (AFE) on endurance capacity in mice. Four wk-old male mice were given either a vehicle {distilled water) or AFE (500, 1,000 mg/kg) through stomach intubations for 4 wk. Mice were made to perform swimming exer...

Zusammenfassung:	The present study was designed to determine the effects of Anoectochilus formosanus extract (AFE) on endurance capacity in mice. Four wk-old male mice were given either a vehicle {distilled water) or AFE (500, 1,000 mg/kg) through stomach intubations for 4 wk. Mice were made to perform swimming exercises with weights attached to their tails corresponding to 10% of their body weight. Endurance capacity was evaluated by swimming time to exhaustion. The group treated with 1,000 mg/kg AFE showed a significant improvement (p
