Effect of Tremella fuciformis Polysaccharides on Fatigue Induced by Oxidative Damage in Exhaustive Exercise Mice

Objective: To investigate the effect of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFP) on oxidative damage induced by exhaustive exercise in mice and analyze its mechanism. Methods: L6 cells were treated with TFP for 48 hours, and the activity of L6 was detected by CCK-8 method. L6 cells were divided into three groups, including the control, H2O2, and H2O2+TFP groups, and incubated for 48 hours. LA levels were measured by a biochemical analyzer, and Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 protein levels were detected by Western blot assay. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=10 for each group), including model group and model+TFP group (50, 100, 200 mg/kg). The model+TFP groups were continuously gavaged with TFP, while the model group was gavaged with the same dose of distilled water once a day for two consecutive weeks. Exhaustive exercise was performed 30 minutes after the last administration, the duration of exhaustive swimming exercise was recorded, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect liver glycogen (LG) and skeletal muscle glycogen (MG). ELISA was used to detect blood urea nitrogen (BUN), lactic acid (LA), ROS, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), TNF-α, IL-6 and NF-κBp65 levels. Western blot assay was used to detect the levels of Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 proteins. Results: The LA levels of L6 cells in the H2O2 group were significantly (P
