Abstract:
To reveal the effect of the branched chain amino acids on some biochemical indicators in the endurance training rats, an endurance training model was established in the present experiment and the rats were treated with the branched chain amino acids during the training time. The weight change and exhausted time of rats were determined after the endurance training, and the content of hemoglobin, blood urea, excitatory amino acids, inhibitory amino acids, blood glucose and liver glycogen and muscle glycogen were measured, respectively. The results showed that the exhausted time of rats in treated the branched chain amino acids were significantly prolonged, and the content of hemoglobin, excitatory amino acids, blood glucose, liver glycogen and muscle glycogen were markedly increased, but the content of blood urea and the excitatory amino acids were decreased in comparison with the rats in training control group. The present study showed that the branched chain amino acids could improve the protein catabolism because of excessive exercise, and increase glycogen reserves and glycometabolism, and further promote the exercise capacity of rats.
