[Effect of hedgehog hydnum on the delay of fatigue in mice].
Two groups of mice were fed with either hedgehog hydnum powder or extract for sixty days. For the assay of fatigue, the activity of serum lactate dehydrogenase, the serum urea nitrogen content, blood lactic acid, hepatic and muscular glycogen, and the physical stamina of the mice were determined. The activity of serum lactate dehydrogenase and the hepatic and muscular glycogen content in the experimental mice were evidently higher than that in the control mice (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). After exercise, the increase in blood lactic acid and serum urea nitrogen in the experimental mice was significantly lower than that in the control mice (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), but the rate of elimination of blood lactic acid in the experimental mice was significantly higher than that in the control mice (P < 0.05). In the physical stamina swimming, the experimental mice drowned after a longer period of time than the control mice (P < 0.05). In conclusion hedgehog hydnum had a significant effect on raising physical stamina and delaying fatigue in mice.
