This study investigated the effects and mechanisms by which Lonicera caerulea berry polyphenols extract (LCBP) improved treadmill endurance in mice. The results show that LCBP reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, enhances mitochondrial biosynthesis and cell proliferation, and alleviates fatigue, enhancing performance.
Exercise fatigue can exert deleterious effects on the body. This study evaluated the effects and mechanisms by which Lonicera caerulea berry polyphenols extract (LCBP) improved the treadmill endurance of mice. Comparison was performed between the effects at 25 degrees C and low temperatures (-5 degrees C). Energy storage, product metabolism, and other biochemical indices were determined using vitamin C (VC) as a positive control. Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to detect the interaction between different proteins. Dietary supplementation with LCBP significantly prolonged the exhaustion time during treadmill exercise by 20.4% (25 degrees C) and 27.4% (-5 degrees C). LCBP significantly regulated the expression of antioxidant and inflammatory proteins, Bcl-2 /Bax apoptosis proteins, and the PKC alpha-NOx2 / Nox4 pathway proteins, and activated the expression of AMPK-PGC1 alpha-NRF1-TFAM proteins in skeletal muscle mitochondria. The gene and protein expression of miRNA-133a/IGF-1/PI3K/Akt/mTOR in skeletal muscle cells was also activated. Molecular docking confirmed that the main components of LCBP such as cyanidin-3-glucoside, catechin, and chlorogenic acid, have strong binding affinity toward AMPK alpha. LCBP alleviates exercise fatigue in mice by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis of skeletal muscle cells, enhances mitochondrial biosynthesis and cell proliferation, reduces fatigue, and enhances performance. These effects are also significant in a low-temperature environment (Graphical Abstract). Consequently, these results provide novel insights into the anti-fatigue roles of LCBP in exercise fatigue.
