The mice in the treated groups received RPE (2, 4 and 8 g kg-1, ig) and the mice in the normal control group received drinking water ig for 4 weeks. The exhaustive swimming time, Blood Lactic Acid (BLA), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Hemoglobin (Hb) and liver glycogen were determined after swimming test. The results indicated that RPE had significant anti-fatigue effects on mice. It extended the exhaustive swimming time of mice, increased the Hb and liver glycogen contents and decreased BLA and BUN contents. ER -
